“It (caftans) percolated up and became part of the zeitgeist of the era,” said Lauren D. Whitley, the author of “Hippie Chic” and senior curator of the textile department at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Yeah, I remember hippie chicks and spending time under their caftans.

I love this new look!

Now I can spot the truly deranged leftists further away.

Wait - Is this not some sort wrongful of “Cultural-Appropriation”.........

It would be called that if FLOTUS wore that.... wait, our FLOTUS has actual grace, style and good taste (not to mention she is not shaped like a weeble).

Hillary is as ugly outside as she is inside.

Getting long in the tooth does that to a woman.

Kankles has taken her caftans to a new level, they look like the’re made out of Motel 6 shower curtains and old tablecloths from Goodwill.

“Hillary’s isn’t a caftan, it’s a caftent.”
