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.

Ok, if she had been wearing 4-inch heels under the pants and then took them off, I could understand the pants being too long. But she always wears flats! So why so long?

Oh that shot is rather unfortunate

But it does capture the “pear” look, both shape and color
Her butt is twice the size of Barry’s! LOL!

ROTFLOL

Obama looks like he is enjoying having her tow the Muslim fashion line.

Actually I think her modest loose fitting fashion is an improvment.

Everyone’s pants are too long when they take off their shoes. Looks like Michelle was worried about tripping in one of the pics. She seems to be trying to hike up the pants. It makes her look like a little kid that has to go to the bathroom though.

"Her impeccable dress sense . . . "

These Obama worshippers are truly idiots, and blind to boot.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, I see the back view.

What is her problem? With all the people working for her, no one can think ahead about the various ways she will be photographed and make sure she looks decent from all angles?

I can’t stand the woman, but I’d do that job for free only because as much as I don’t like her, I really HATE the image she gives to the country. Like her or not, she is the first lady of the US and she should have some common style and decency....

PLEASE..every first lady has donned a headscarf when in a Muslim country. This is not a big deal. I’ll tell you what a big deal is though, the first sentence that tries to reinforce the lie that she is a fashionista. Impeccable fashion sense...if you’re main store is TJ Maxx.

By printing the pictures I think their msm is ridiculing her...

JMO

Even a blind person wouldn’t consider her impeccably dressed.

In post #16 it appears she is hiking up her pants so she doesn’t step all over the hems.

How embarrassing for us. But then there was a recent picture of hitlery on Drudge. Looking for all the word to see like a great big pumpkin.
