There is no way for Michelle Obama to win. This beautiful, sophisticated, intelligent woman’s every move is judged and written about at every turn. That in itself is expected by the position she is in. But to be attacked for such petty things makes my heart sick.
Now the same people who wrote that she spends too much money for clothes are now complaining about her wearing the same thing more than once. My goodness people you can’t have it both ways. Either she should spend like a wild woman or she should wear what she wants when she wants without being criticized at ever turn.
I feel deeply that this has less to do with her fashion sense than it has to do with the fact that she is the first lady and she is Black. Get the heck over it!!

If you are a fashion watcher like myself, you have been waiting to see what the first lady would wear on this great day. I can’t imagine what thoughts were going through her mind as she picked out the outfit that would define here style for the next four years.The whole world was watching and she did not fail to impress.
Michelle stepped out in an outfit in yellow wool lace designed by Isobel Teledo. This young, hip designer came through with a coat and dress set reminiscent of a young Jacqueline Kennedy with an edge. The yellow outfit popped with green gloves and Jimmy Choo pumps.
I sat and watched the ceremony and wondered how she could stand the cold weather. Silly me! The designer had built warmth into the outfit!!
I visited other websites and blogs to see what the remarks would be about her clothes. Many of the remarks left little doubt that these same people were not Obama supporters.There were cutting remarks about the price. I wondered how many woman would dress for an important occasion in a bargain basement knock off. Yellow? Why yellow? I say why not yellow? The color was picked for its feeling of hope and promise. Besides, the color was just right for her complexion.
