    Ugly comes in all price ranges.

    Michele has worn her share of ugly as well as some stunning outfits. 

    Overall I like Ann Romney's style, but this is definitely ugly.

    So unless their strategy was "have Ann where this crazy shirt and it won't matter what she says", they're failing. 
    You think that wasn't the strategy?

    she wore those out?  ew

    Yeah, definite ew.  I dont even care that they cost $500 for a shoe that probably cost a mere fraction, but  fug.  And now I feel icky talking about these women and their fashion.

    Eh we praise and gush when they wear something awesome so I don't feel bad criticizing them when they wear something awful.

  • That shirt is going to give me nightmares.

    If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat. image

  • I voted SS because "grossly overpriced" wasn't an option.

    Meh. I think it's a shirt some someone younger than her. But whatever. If large scale birds speak to her... I guess I don't care much what she wears. 

    However, I think she could have found a cheaper version at one of those hippie booths that sells clothes and jewelry at music festivals and such.  

    I chose SS.  I happen to be a huge bird lover, so I actually think it's kinda cool.  However, it is quite bold and over-the-top for my taste.  And like sparrow said, you could probably find something like that for a helluva lot cheaper. 

    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

    The shirt is NMS. As for the price, she can afford it.  FLOTUS has worn some pricey items and they are not always my style either. 

    THIS.  

    Plus, you can bet if she'd worn a shirt from Target or Penney's, she'd be seen as trying to pretend she's not rich.

    I'm just glad to see that the next first lady is going to make choices that are outside of the box, just like the current first lady. ;)

    Yes 

    I truly think she's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.  But then again, there's probably a happy medium between a Target shirt and a $990 shirt.

  • It's definitely true that if she had worn an Old Navy shirt, people would be ridiculing her for trying to pretend she's not rich.

    But it does seem awfully ridiculous to wear a $990 shirt while saying "I'm just like everyone else!" You're not. You're incredibly rich. You don't have any clue what it's like to *not* be able to afford $990 shirts.
