The Gown

[Buffacuse]

Sorry...looks like a prom dress to me. And, poor color choice.

HE looks great.

[christie1111]

And someone else was saying the outfit today looked sallow.

Oh well. Not likely to please everyone.

I am just glad I don't analyzed for what I wear. But I think I looked fabu today.

I hated the dress and the gown.

I loved their relationship.

GW and I liked both the gown and the dress she wore during the day. We hated the dress at the convention - that looked like she was a cat burglar that someone had hit in the belly with a giant fluorescent paintball.

I always look good. It's a family curse.

Loved the gold suit! Didn't love the gown, but didn't hate it either. It might be one of those outfits that look better in person than on (non-high def) TV.

The little "puffball" looking thingies were probably lovely flowers close-up. And she was definitely exercising her Right to Keep Bare Arms (with arms like hers, who can blame her?!)

"The bow" made Obama look like a Nation of Islam preacher.

I thought "the bow" was referring Aretha's.

Yeah, what other bow are we referring to?

Loved both the suit-&-coat & the gown on Michelle O. Would not have looked good on me, but I wasn't the one wearing them. Did not like the election-night dress, but Michelle O looked better than others would in that, which is probably why she chose it.

Yes, I have edited my post. Convention night I was listening to the acceptance speech on the radio while at The Last (sob) Thomas Point Bluegrass Festival, so I couldn't have seen Michelle O's dress on that radio. I don't think.

After the ugly red/black dress I was really hoping to love her Inauguration outfits. I didn't like any of them, and thought they did absolutely nothing for her. She's a lovely woman, and I've seen her in really nice looking outfits. And most likely, she dint lose any sleep worrying about whether I was pleased with her choices.

????????????????

I'm pretty sure Jeemie was referring to Aretha's hat!!!! (Sorry, I'm at work & can't find a pic )

Wasn't this the dress she wore in Grant Park the night of the election not the convention?

Whichever. We thought it was hideous and most definitely not the color for her.

I was referring to the white tie that Obama wore with his tux at the balls. As for Aretha, someone should have told her not to stop in mid-word on "My Count...try 'Tis of Thee".

I'm with Christie -- I looked fabu yesterday too. All black (almost) for the party. Slacks, though, not gown.

I'm not a yellow fan, because it makes me look dead, so I'll probably never be that enamored with Michelle's choices. As T points out, I'm sure that suits her just fine.

FABU.

I thought it was ridiculous.

RIDCU.

You are not allowed an opinion on her hat if you are going to disagree with me.

Now that is funny!

[peacock2121]

I saw the designer of the gown on TV. He did not know she was wearing it until he saw footage of the ball.

How cool that musta been!

[mellytu74]

A report from DC.....

One of my old Hill co-workers attended the Mid-Atlantic State ball; she said the gown looked MUCH better in person than it showed on TV.

This woman generally has pretty good fashion sense so I will take her word for it.

My friend's coworker, however, said SHE wished that the First Lady had worn a more eye-popping color.

So. a split opinion from two women who saw it up close.

I suspected it might!

Well, from work I couldn't find a pic of The Bow, but I'm home now & Aretha's Hat is everywhere!





And, much as I love Hillary, I'm glad Michelle didn't go with a Silly Hat a la Hillary-1993!

Funny, funny, funny! (And Hillary's hat, too.)
