What Was Michelle Obama Thinking?

Oh, my.

I know jumpsuits are a big trend at the moment - which is one of the reasons I don't like them! I just do not see this as a sophisticated look. It's an awkward silhouette on anyone. Jumpsuits, like " onesies, " are best left for children and prisoners.

If I could cut this jumpsuit in half, the top as a blouse tucked into slim trousers would be quite nice. Or a slim knee length skirt.

I like the jewelry. It's delicate enough, yet dramatic.
Chunky jewelry would have made this look even more of a disaster.

The hairdo is a bit too Elvis inspired for my taste.

Michelle Obama Is Stunning At State Dinner For Chinese President

Michelle - always game for a delightful risk and embracing the unexpected.

The color red signifies luck and happiness ( can never have too much of either ) in traditional Chinese culture.

Though red not necessarily my favorite color, I have to give kudos for this superb choice. The lines of this gown are soft, feminine, and the pattern chic and modern. The color is lovely on Michelle. I like the choice of a wrap on a smaller, more delicate scale that does not over power.

In all, a very flattering and pretty silhouette.

Mrs. Obama Arrives in Hawaii

Well - this is a ( nice ) departure from the T-shirt and dowdy, unflattering shorts ensemble worn on the plane last family trip.

Pretty color, without being too electric. Empire styles can often look too maternity, so one must be careful. It has to be just the right cut, fit, and fabrication.

This dress, not taken too seriously, lends itself to a "mature sundress" look. It's not bad.

I do have to add that, though I love turtlenecks, I am not a huge fan of a boat neck cut. It's just awkward, too much fabric, without being here nor there.

Michelle Obama's Sleek Ensemble

Aaaah! So refreshing. Love the classy, soft, grey hue to this ensemble. The flounced ruffle is a super feminine detail, and not over the top.

I love the hair as well. It's sleek and modern looking, and face flattering.

What Was Michelle Obama Thinking?

Well, this ensemble is just a plain old mess. What is Mrs. Obama thinking when she puts stuff like this together?!

The ruffled blouse is too stiff in fabrication, making it overwhelming. Ruffles on a blouse can be lovely and feminine, but work best in a silk crepe - like fabric. So we don't even really have to address putting a cardigan over - it's just more unnecessarybulk and sloppiness. The belt, alas, sure does not help. Again, just too much.

The only way the skirt, with that intense pattern, could look sophisticated and chic would be with a simple black or white tank or tee, and flat or low heeled sandals or ballet flats. The pumps just polish off the misery of it all - simply not the right style shoe.

Michelle Obama Sparkles at CHCI Dinner

Though I am not really a big fan of boat-necks (can look too heavy and awkward), or Michael Kors (heavy and awkward - just kidding) who tends to bore me a bit with all of the rehashed stuff he puts out (like Ralph Lauren), this dress is a classy move.

Like I always say - black always works, and the simple clean lines and sparkle of this frock are right on for a sophisticated, distinct, evening look while not going over the top or looking like Mrs. Obama tried too hard.

Aaaah...

Talk about hitting the nail on the head. This Jason Wu dress, worn on July 27, is just sublime.

I love the freshness of this look. The color blocking gives this frock a stylish, mod feel that can't go wrong. The cut gives Mrs. Obama a whittled waist, with just enough pleat detail and ease at the hips for the perfect silhouette. Uncomplicated and clean - no ridiculous jeweled accessories or clunky belts. So easy! This is how fashion should always be.
