The blue sash and bow were NOT successful. They made the dress seem frumpy, and the color had nothing to do with the rest of the ensemble.

I think she needs new designers. When Miss Marple can think of things to improve clothes (v-necks, coral colors, shoulder pads, slimmer skirts,etc.) it is time to begin shopping around.

I think Laura should consider that some designers may secretly be in the anti-Bush camp.

Good, we are all agreed on the belt, lol. I thought possibly I was out of the loop when it comes to designer clothes. Mr. Mc would not be amused if I came home with a designer frock, so I know little about them.

I've been looking at that blasted bow and do you think it could be some award or something the couple from Poland gave her? She is just too "with it" to wear something like that unless it is for a darned good reason. And to be gracious to someone or not wanting to hurt someone's feelings would be a good reason. Ya think?

Dittos for ohioWfan!

I am hardly a fashion maven, but I know bad when I see it.....and that blue belt is bad! And how about some lower necklines, like the one she wore at the media dinner (I think)? She looked so sexy and beautiful in that dress!

btw, I read somewhere that you can tell alot about a woman by the shoes she wears. If that's the case, everyone can tell that I'm cheap and like to be comfortable! :o)

Miss Marple, I treasure xour comments.
There ARE reasons for what Laura wore
& I just finished posting them. And I
support her choice, even if no one
else does(well my mother did!). Here
is A FINAL POINT about it: Did any of
you notice that her gown was NOT an
actual dress BUT a two-piece thing??
A distinct TOP over a SKIRT? Seemed
to call for an accented waist, and I
say she chose the contrasting blue
for why I suggested(eye color & Blue
Room receiving line, see recent post).
SO YA'LL(the Texan in me) hated it on
TV; I didn't, but I'm betting ya'll
would've understood it more in person!
