Watch out Michelle Obama!
The fashion magazines writers are on you like white on rice!
[For those interested in that expression, which makes no apparent sense, go to http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/27/messages/299.html ].
Lesley Scott, the editor of the blog www.fashiontribes.com, commented the day after the US election that the First Lady-elect's choice of a designer dress for election night was a mistake. She stated, "...every fashionista worth her salt takes risks (two words: Carrie Bradshaw) which means the occasional misstep." Ouch! (I wonder whether she learned how to deliver a backhanded compliment from her mother!) And here I thought Mrs. O looked fabulous.
But then, what do I know about dressing myself, never mind dressing another human being.
Also all over the blogosphere are notes about Michelle Obama's style. There also is a style icon website for Michelle Obama - www.mrs-o.org - as well as a book coming out about her sense of style, and much more. And it's only been a couple of weeks since the election!
As for my opinion about the dress, at least it was shared by the editors of Vogue, who put Michelle Obama on their best-dressed list because of that very dress. (Who ever heard of Lesley Scott or fashiontribes.com anyway?)
