Michelle Obama's Swimsuit Style

After "Shortsgate," the First Lady is playing it safe when it comes to her fashion choices.

There haven't really been many photos of the First Family since they landed on Martha's Vineyard, MA on Sunday, save for the President playing a few rounds of golf.

Now images have surfaced of Mrs. O taking Sasha and Malia out for a bite at Nancy's restaurant located in the beach town of Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard.

Michelle donned the same black one-piece swimsuit with plunging neckline that she wore while vacationing in Hawaii last December.

But post-shorts controversy, she covered up in a white button-down shirt and matching capris, over the more revealing sarong she opted for previously.

She completed her look with turquoise Crocs (see below) and oversized Jackie O shades.

Do you think Michelle Obama should be cautious about being photographed in a full-on swimsuit while on summer vacation because of the public criticism and debate that will undoubtedly ensue? Leave a comment below!

And for more of the First Lady's fashion choices, click through the following gallery.

Style Evolution: Michelle Obama

    During a trip to Martha's Vineyard in August 2009, Michelle Obama went casual in sky blue Crocs. According to the company, she's wearing the Malindi style--and they match perfectly with daughter Sasha's outfit.

She did not have her license revoked, she voluntarily surrendered it. I thank you for sharing what for me is a new right wing myth. I try to keep up with the latest in right wing mythology but there is so much that it's hard to do. Thanks

If you find the racist thing getting old why not just give up your prejudices?

Why is it automatically considered racist when you say you don't like Michelle Obama's look? What does race have to do with your own personal standards of what is/is not attractive? I didnt think Barbara Bush was good looking, and goodness knows Eleanor Roosevelt was no looker, and their race played no consideration in that opinion. That being said, Michelle Obama is a truly repulsive creature.

Yes, Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her license, just like Van Jones "voluntarily surrendered" his czar-ship.

Oh well.......Our First Lady could learn a thing or two from Barbara Bush and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Michelle Obama is too heavy for a two piece bathing suit.
