Modestly chic: Michelle Obama dons a headscarf as she visits mosque on Indonesia trip
Daily Mail (London) ^ | November 10, 2010

Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.

So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.

The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.

But there was a nod to her sartorial instincts in the form of beads and turquoise fringing at the neck.

Though her wide-legged Stephen Burrows trouser suit was simple in cut, Mrs Obama is never one to shy away from vibrant colour, and the edgy chartreuse hue was evidence of that.

She last wore the outfit by the Harlem, New York-based designer back in July.

Taking off their shoes, as another sign of respect in the place of worship, she and her husband strolled along a carpet laid across the sprawling courtyard together.

“Impeccable dress sense” ??!

The woman generally looks like a bag lady.

Embarrassing for only HALF of us. The world knows only half this country wanted these abominations. They can’t embarrass me- they don’t represent me any more than do drag queens. Disgust me, yes- the Husseins, not the drag queens( at least they are honest about what they are- screwed up, but honest.)

The Obamas-I didn’t want’em, I’m not claiming’em, they’re not my fault!

The interesting thing is that on the RIGHT body & in the right & appropriate setting, some of her outfits might work

But many are just plain outrageously ugly

I think we've been slow to catch on here folks. I think the media has been laughing at her all along, calling her a "fashionista" and all, and laughing like loons every time they publish that.

I think it's a private joke by all the "journalists".

So how effective would the Secret Service be in stocking feet should someone want to attack Obama?

I have no explanation why the photos of the First Couple at the mosque brought Edward Lear's famous nonsense poem to mind.....I must be getting giddy.......

The Pussycat with her Owl went to mosque garbed in a puke-green suit
She looked undone-y despite plenty of money
And designers and dressers, to boot
The Owl looked up to his wife above and sang to a small sitar
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love
What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Then they dined on quince and slices of blintz
Which they ate with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, to the Taj Mahal band
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon
They danced by the light of the moon.

"TJMaxx should sue you."

Forgive me for pointing out a typo in your post.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama do their shopping at TJMarxx.

I tell my very tall daughter that she must get new jeans because those make her look like she is “ready for the flood”.

When she saw this picture, she said, “She’s ready for the drought!” lol!
