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?

"You will eat those comments!"

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

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.

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”?)

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.

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?

[Always Right]

That outfit looks like the art project of a Kindergarten kid!

Yes, and next week everyone in the media will be wearing it. Like Hillary, the media is trying to convince of Michelle is the second coming Jackie Kennedy. Somehow the media mistakes thuggery for grace.

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

Maybe Karl Rove.

[sarasota]

It’s Chicago-style narcissism.

[lady lawyer]

The wedding cake is a good analogy. Big on the bottom, small on the top.

[Sophia777]

H needs to get his blankety-blank shoes off our blankety-blank table.

[TonyInOhio]

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

That was the first image that popped into my head, too. :)

"...her usually smooth lines"

What planet is this fashion-blind idiot from? Let me write down that name so I never abuse my eyes by reading her opinions again. What a butt-kissing sycophant. "Usually smooth lines?" Yeah, they are if line-busting belt-over-sweater "couture" is your idea of smooth. If mis-matched dresses and ill-fitting sweaters and classless rags are your idea of smooth. And all topped off with the famous MO scowl -- smooth as sandpaper.

Thanks for the Carla. Very easy on the eyes.

[txhurl]

Is that photoshopped? Or is she ‘rhoidin?

[sniper63]

I would prefer "I like big butts, but I don't know why?"

Another tune for your head.....
