Michelle Obama's Abbey outfit: stacked like a wedding cake – but nice colours

Wow, look at her go. Michelle Obama, who was in London on a short sightseeing trip with her daughters, didn’t let the small issue of a failing government stand in the way of her sunny style.

While the men around her look to be in mourning, Mrs O stands out like a beacon against the night sky. Ok, the appliquéd tunic has the air of Malia or Sasha’s art class about it and sure, it does nothing for her hips – all that extra fluff and detail around the middle adds bulk to her usually smooth lines. But when did looking trim become part of a visit to Westminster Abbey?

[anniegetyourgun]

Michelle - missing a style gene.

[anniegetyourgun]

BUGLY

[Fishtalk]

Oh No.

Oh no she did ent.

What the hell was she thinking when she put on that getup?

Here I am, for instance, first lady of the world. I got designers lining up to dress my bod. I am going to choose that?

Oh dear Lord....dear Lord dear Lord.

[Juan Medén]

". . . usually smooth lines . . ."

Where has this woman been?

This is hysterical!

[theDentist]

Not a drapery, shower curtain, or table cloth is safe from this woman.

[Shadowfax]

Hhhhmmmmm. Perhaps she needs to go to Bloomingdales to update her slutty wardrobe.

(Waiting for Letterman to joke about this train wreck. But not holding my breath.)

[Doogle]

....she has a sweater fetish, and it must be two sizes too small to have it's effect.

[squarebarb]

LOL!!!

[Fishtalk]

[Dinah Lord]

OMG

[Right_in_Virginia]

I’m starting to think she’s mentally ill. Really. No sane person can look in the mirror and think this looks good.

[Fishtalk]

Did I tell you?

My husband is the LAST fashion critic on the planet. But I forced him to look at it.

He asked what the hell she was thinking.

[maggief]

Here's a full-length image that captures the gray Sansabelt trousers. :)

[VanDeKoik]

And she is supposed to be setting fashon trends for women supposedly????

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

It reminds me of that hilarious outfit Carol Burnette wore, complete with the curtain rod!

[Safrguns]

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh... BAT GIRL!

[pke]

"Michelle has a real sense of fashion!"

[netmilsmom]

Corin had the quote of the day yesterday regarding this outfit

>>I think she got up and said “I believe I’ll wear the kitchen curtains today.”<<

How fat is she going to get? I mean really, she is beginning to look like a pear.

[bimboeruption]

It looks like Moshell has those cheap, plastic Hawaiian leis around her barn sized hips. You know, they give them to you as prizes at carnivals.

She looks fat and frumpy.

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL!

[Crawdad]

Has anyone copied that high belt look yet?

[Carley]

If I am not mistaken that is an arab thing. Adding little bits of this and that for decoration.

Everything is done by design with these people.

Check out Drudge and the picture of O and his dirty shoes on the desk in the oval office.......pointing the soles of his shoes at Prime Minister Netanyahu.......

[SERKIT]

All that, and a bag of chips. Literally.

[anniegetyourgun]

What the hell is her husband thinking? Here he is with feet on the desk in Oval office. No respect...

[Carley]

And what the heck has she been eating. Even Mr. O has gotten a huge butt.

I guess all the new rules and regs about healthy eating don’t apply to them.

[mancini]

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[autumnraine]

Daily Mail.uk called this “chic”.

If wearing a belt over your open sweater is chic, I don’t ever want to be in fashion.

[Atlas Sneezed]

[reagan_fanatic]

And what the heck has she been eating. Even Mr. O has gotten a huge butt.

That's just your imagination.

[Kakaze]

Shoes on The Resolute Desk..........I seem to say it every day, now.

"The Obamas have arrived and the wheels are off the trailer."

He simply disgust me.

[Always Right]

The outfit looks like something a bag lady would reject.

[Sacajaweau]

Ruffles and junk....same stuff we sold at our garage sale this week. What a cra**y dresser she is...What we would call...a slob.

[blu]

That’s just embarrassing. Jeans and a clean t-shirt would have been more tasteful than that!

[FreepShop1]

The British press is on drugs. She looks positively atrocious. How far will they take this white guilt train? She wore WHITE at the Normandy memorial, with a huge silver belt! Garish and ill-mannered. No other female wore anything lighter than black or navy blue, out of respect for the occasion. But she doesn’t care about D-Day, or American sacrifices. She is only proud of herself and Barack.

[blu]

Dude looks like a lady (you can thank me now for that tune running thru your head all day;)

[Andy from Beaverton]

"You will eat those comments!"

[blu]

Oh, wait! got a better one. If Michelle-my-belle is a tree hugger, we should sing “Druid looks like a lady”!

[bimboeruption]

Thanks for the TELLING photo.

Moshell's calves look like tree stumps.

My gosh, is she packing on the weight.

[Thrownatbirth]

That's just your imagination.

That would be Michelle's "Abbey Road" outfit.

[angelcindy]

someone must of told her wearing a belt does something for her....hmmmmmm

[homegroan]

Including the pants worn underneath the skirt-how Muslim of her.

Maybe her kids made the skirt as an art project?

Next thing she’ll be wearing is a spray-painted macaroni & glue necklace. (’member macaroni “art”?)

[magslinger]

Not a drapery, shower curtain, or table cloth is safe from this woman.

But she will never wear curtains with the panache Carol Burnett did.

[Sophia777]

and she must wear two at a time as seen in the cup cake picture.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Even a crack whore tranny wouldn’t wear that.

[Sophia777]

What about the mentally ill writers that think she is a fashion icon?
