I think the peach outfit looked fine with the belt, but the yellow cardigan definitely needed to be out. Mrs. Obama is pear shaped, so it makes sense that she likes high-waisted dresses, but the Floral dress was so stiff it made her hips look even larger than she they are. She should stick with fabrics that drape.

FINALLY someone has stated what I've been thinking! Thank you, j.

I agree she looks nice and doesn't always have to spend a fortune on designer clothes but what she wears is more often appropriate for an office job or school teacher, not First Lady of the United States visiting a foreigner country on a state visit. Sometimes her "stylish?" accessories are the things that make the outfit more like a college girls than a professional woman's. I wonder if she dressed this way in her professional job before Obama went into politics, or if she was more appropriately dressed, like a suit? I mean wear the same cheap cartigan to have Nancy Regan to lunch that you then wear out to garden, give me a break! Someone help our First Lady, her daughters are more appropriately dressed than the mother.

Thanks for saying that. For months now, I was thinking I had lost all fashion sense---because the fashion police rave about her "homemade" looking outfits. I think the belt spoils the entire look and is worn way to high. Often time, her shoes seem to belong to a different outfit and don't compliment what she is wearing, either. Great example are the black patent shoes she boarded the plane with---paired with a white floral dress.

You don't know style. What are you wearing?????????

I think that Mrs. Obama looks fine...This is the 21st century and style has most definitely changed as well as other things. Why should she dress like all the other 1st ladies when she is clearly different. She is unique and has her own style...it takes a strong individual to do the opposite of what is expected and what is normal. It also bothers me that the media and so many others pay so much attention to Mrs. Obama's clothing when she is in fact a well accomplished woman with the degrees and merits to prove it.

There's more to Mrs. Michelle Obama than FASHION people!!!!

I agree 100%.

Yep, LOVE the looks!

You need to get a life! Don't be a HATER

Sounds like someone is jealous

HELLO, she is YOUNG! !

I totally agree with you.
Since when did having "an opinion" make someone a "hater"
You libs are supposed to be "open" to all differences and I think that includes difference of opinion!
Who is the real hater?

quit hating..she looks better than you will ever look.. belt out of place or not...
