Well said, NA.

Compared to Laura "I bought the same old lady suit in 5 colors" Bush it's quite the breath of fresh air. I'd also contrast it with Hillary Clinton's boardroom suits.

Michelle is not dressing to show that she's as tough as a man, and I think it flatters her far more than the usual female "power" wardrobe.

Yeah, that's why I said better than her recent predecessors.


But since I compare them all with Jackie O., everyone comes up short.


And better is not good enough when compared to the Bush ladies or Hillary anyone else since Mrs. Kennedy. They have all sucked. And, it's a matter of taste, but I don't like Michelle's style in dresses (i.e., shapeless sacks), but she's ok in casual clothes. Her style in gowns leaves much to be desired, too.

IMO.

So interesting and so many high waists and tight little sweaters with 3/4 length sleeves. Thanks for the link, Strangler Lewis.

I like her style. I love that her style is easily available to all of us. Not that it will look good on everybody, but at least it's normal.

I don't know that I like those patterns, but the look overall, yes I do.
