I really liked the dress, cardigan and all.


But who gives a shit what they were wearing? History was made last night!

Exactly, I highly doubt Michelle was standing up there thinking "Gee, I wonder if my dress is a hit or miss?"

Seriously.

meow85 said:

thats why its important.

design, materials, colors, smells are always and forever engrained into moments in time.

its what evokes feelings from the past in the present.

Almost forty years later, they're still talking about Jackie O's wardrobe.

please, she picked it for that occasion, it was definitely part of her thoughts.
i would say from what the entire family was wearing it was very much on her thoughts.
Plus they are from Chicago, we are into these sorts things. Its part of the life style. Just like being conscious of what one eats.

I liked it!


It's nice to see a trendy, chic woman in the white house.

Enough of the stodgy suits!

I thought she looked nice.

you want it

i agree it was relevent.

purplesweat said:

Ummmm. . . hence why it's in General Discussion and not in P&R.

I liked the color and the fit but I thought the waist band thingy should have been left at home...

chocolate1 said:

Exactly! Even the color she chose to wear is VERY significant.

RenHoek said:

I can't even express how great it felt to be there with all these ppl.




And Oprah.

rushing07 said:

Lucky duck! I bet it was electrifying.

chocolate1 said:

I absolutely agree.

SCNDLS said:

It was!

Too bad my mood was later spoiled by the sad news from California.

rushing07 said:

Yeah, that shit sucks. . . and not in a good way.

rushing07 said:

Don't get me started on my freakishly stupid ass state... edge of western civilization my ass...

I'm ashamed to be a Californian right now...

on another note. His oldest is definitely daddy's girl. She's going to be the one that writes a book one day. They always look like they are two peas in a pod. She probably talks quantam physics with him.

i loved the way they were all styled. as a unit they looked fantastic. i liked the dress as well.

So, this morning my beloved 68 year old aunt called me and made me promise to post on here that
1. She hated the dress
2. Somebody needs to teach Michelle how to dress
3. It was atrocious to dress the younger daughter in black cuz black is for funerals
4. Michelle walks like a maliante (think Mary J Blige in the Real Love video) and needs to learn how to walk gracefully

Sheeeeesh, she's so judgmental. . . guess I got it honest.




I told her that I thought she looked chic and that although some people didn't like the dress I'm starting to think some of the disdain may be a generational thing. I bet Jackie Kennedy was criticized by the old guard for being so modern when she did her thing. I bet they had a lot to say cuz she showed her bare arms in a lot of her sheath dresses. It was kind of scandalous for Jackie to use designer Oleg Cassini and other European designers to design most of her wardrobe. Some things never change.

So, this morning my beloved 68 year old aunt called me and made me promise to post on here that

1. She hated the dress - I agree to the point that I disliked the dress !

2. Somebody needs to teach Michelle how to dress 100% agree

3. It was atrocious to dress the younger daughter in black cuz black is for funerals - not so much agree - kids looked fine I thought

4. Michelle walks like a maliante (think Mary J Blige in the Real Love video) and needs to learn how to walk gracefully 100% agree

I think they were all beautiful. I am just glad that Michelle was not in a pant suit or anything like this:

HATED IT!

You AIN'T right!

I didn't like it. It made her look wider than she is. I did love the red and black color scheme, though and how the fmaily was coordinated.
I do like how she dresses most of the time. she's not boring or afraid to wear color or wear emasculating pants suits.
