No way - please tell me that photo is a fake. Dear God this is sooo terrible - for both women.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

omg! I just noticed that MO has the sweater buttoned wrong! Oy!

[sunny48]

Never heard of that before, but your post has me humming ‘We all live in a yellow submarine.’

[mrs tiggywinkle]

oh dear.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Yes that was my first thought as well - how the media made Barbara out to be so matronly because of her suits and pearls.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

**I’ve seen estate jewelry that included double strands of pearls, so they’re not out of the ordinary**

Very true, SuziQ. I have 2 such necklaces, one white pearl and one gold.

And they have the nerve to call that junk high fashion. I do not want any part of it.

[MamaB]

Neither one has good fashion sense. What is it with the hem of MO’s skirt and what is it with the belt? She looks like she does not know how to stand up straight. If I were that tall, you can bet your booty that I would be standing tall and proud of it. Alas, I am a real shorty.

Mrs. Brown actually makes Michelle look good, by contrast, in that picture. The tight fit of that dress on an out-of-shape, middle-aged body, borders on the hideous. To be out of shape, or to be middle-aged is no crime, but to wear a dress that clinging should be. Why would anyone want to look like that in public, when there are so many other ways to hide one's figure flaws?

I suspect that these women believe they are somehow above criticism due to their "status," even when the visual proof is no further away than a full-length mirror.

Thanks for the ping, LucyT.

***Her skirt looks like it’s unraveling on the bottom right. Is this a J. Crewe outfit, too?***

I wondered about that, too. It’s not the pattern of the rug behind her because it also shows a tiny bit on the left side of the hem.

[azishot]

WHAT is that on the back of her so called belt? Is it really a bow? Ya know those package of bows you buy at Christmas for packages? Looks like someone stuck a bunch of those on her belt(?) as well.

Brown cheesecloth for a skirt? Maybe she just came in from tending her “garden”?

LOL I think if I were First Lady I would go back and see how Jackie Kennedy dressed for various occasions and follow her lead. I suspect her outfits were always appropriate AND she had a great sense of style (I would love to see the little pillbox hats come back!)

Michelle could start her research here: The Jacqueline Kennedy Collection

This (replica) Jackie O jewelry is sold on QVC, by the way...

[mrs tiggywinkle]

It’s a black tule overlay. :o/

Have you ever seen a socialist, liberal, leftist woman look classy? They don't WANT to look classy even if they had taste, which they don't.

They want to look classless, faceless, like a member of a group or commune rather than an individual. It's a wonder these two socialist wives of socialist husband even have makeup on.
