I don’t have a problem with either the blue-and-white flowered dress or the coral one . . . at home in DC, doing some daytime casual entertaining. Go to a foreign country representing your own nation, and you should wear something resembling business attire, at least something simple and elegant. And if you have or are developing a weight problem, there’s nothing wrong with wearing an Empire-waist dress, but do resume the workouts you’re famous for and display some self-control at the dinner table.

That cheap looking plastic ‘boob belt’ adds nothing to her outfit. Saw her going up the stairs to AF-1 in that outfit yesterday, she forgot to attach the Wide Load sign before she left the WH.

She has no personal fashion sense but is able to decorate and wear, badly, a 1960’s era ghetto living room.

It’s a costume. Who is she trying to be? Note the pearls. Vote: June Cleaver or Donna Reed or Harriet Nelson?

I realize you are being sarcastic...I was referring to the media.

It is almost impossible to type because I’m laughing so hard. Quick, look at this photo!

LOL! When I see a dress that looks like curtains I have to think of Carol Burnett in “Went with the Wind”

Is this her new Dead White Woman look?

[LucyT]

when she first got to DC in the winter, she was constantly in short sleeves. Now that it’s summer, she’s wearing these stupid sweater coverups.

How about the belt under the armpit?

Fashion ping!

U.S. President Barack Obama walks with first lady Michelle Obama and their daughter Malia (obscured) on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington July 5, 2009 before their departure on a trip to Russia, Italy and Ghana.

she’s got a BIG booty!

room to serve a large pizza and a few drinks?

You make an excellent point about sleeveless in winter and sweatered in summer. There is something very goofy about her fashion choices. She is far too old and above pay grade level to try and dress so eclectically. Her fashion choices are totally clueless....I guess they reflect personality.

There just are no words for this.

Pillow case’s with leg holes new fashion statement??

Actually, she looks like Aunt Tillie at the Church jumble sale.

If she lost maybe 25 to 45 pounds and had that dress cut down into something other than a shapeless bag with a belt, she might look better.

The sweater is just secretarial pool.

Maybe she sweats like a cold beer can on a hot summer day? So going sleeveless might work in the winter, but in the summer, she needs something to absorb her perspiration? I don’t know.

What the deuce is she wearing?

Looks like second hand shop stuff my Grandmother wore in the 60’s
