Can she be impeached for wearing the same outfit twice?

[Diamonique]

1. Certainly not. :-) That dress is one of my favorites. nt

[roguevalley]

39. I love her little shoes. She reminds me of a little girl sometimes, a

cute and perky little girl. I love that dress. On her. :-D

[polichick]

2. Gosh, I hope she wears things more than once - only "elistists" wear things once! lol

[politicasista]

3. They both rock!

:yourock:

[islandgirl808]

4. according to huffpo, she's gonna be on Sesame Street!

ha how exciting lol :D!!
can't wait to see her with elmo!

eta: i'm still unsure about that dress. but whatevs, she could wear a paper bag i wouldn't give a damn lol. go FLOTUS!

[Clio the Leo]

5. Yep and remember these shoes....

They went to Europe!




Sigh ..... we ALL need to get out more! lol

And, on a related note, I'm wearing the same flip flops I wore yesterday. :)

[CakeGrrl]

10. And also to lunch at Georgia Brown's shortly after inuguration

I'll bet that's not the last we'll see of those Jimmy Choo's, either.

[Clio the Leo]

11. They must be comfy. NT

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

22. Hey, I think she wore those at the Nick inaugural special, too!

At least they look like the same shoes!



I do believe when you say "Hey, I recognize those shoes from a Nick special!", it's time for Mom and Dad to schedule a date night. :eyes: Sad.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. I'm wearing the same feet I wore yesterday. Shoes are so overrated.

;)

6. She certainly has fashion sense, just about anything she wears

looks fantastic!

SO much better than the "Shroud/Potato Sack" look of Pickles.

[MADem]

13. I thought Laura Bush looked fine. And so did Hillary. And even

George Washington Bar Bush looked OK, except for a dowdy hairstyle.

Every so often, each one of them has worn something that looked a bit dumbass, but so what? I think Mrs. Obama is charming, but that sweater that looks like Stevie Wonder buttoned it for her I think is ghastly, and so's that blouse with the clown bow. I didn't like Mrs. Bush's gown that looked like it was made from curtains. Mrs. Clinton had a few hairdo missteps before she settled into her groove. And Bar Bush always looked like she was going to take the dogs for "Walkies!"

But hey, sometimes they look good, sometimes they don't. They're human. That's fine with me!

[rasputin1952]

15. With Laura, it was the earth-tone pantsuits...

I'm no fashion guru by any means, but there are things that are relatively pleasing, and things that are "dowdy"...a lot depends on the occasion. To me, Laura's wardrobe was generally pretty bad, but for formal occasions, she came off rather well.

As for personality, I found Laura to be pretty intelligent...but I also think she despised the whole DC "thing". She was rarely, if ever allowed to be herself. With MO, it is the complete opposite, she's being herself every day, and she is intelligent, witty and her own woman. She is a pleasure to listen to. As an aside, virtually every woman I speak to around my parts, would sell their soul for MO's smile...:hi:

[cooolandrew]

18. I think Michelle gets a lot of designer creations sent to her. She seems the kind of person that >

doesn't want to upset anyone by not wearing their clothes. I've liked most things she's wore so far she has a way of making everything look great.

[MADem]

24. I dunno. I think she has a "dresser." That lady in the mumu they did a thread on awhile back.

I think the lady's motto oughta be "Hit or Miss."

In the big scheme, I don't care. I think Mrs. Obama is fine if she wears a bathrobe and flip flops, even if some of her choices look a little goofy.

[snooper2]

32. Oh come on

:rofl:

[MADem]

34. What's so funny about "This image link contains an illegal code?"

I imagine you want to make fun of someone...save your energy. I don't want to waste time making fun of people who did not appear on my ballot.

[snooper2]

37. I guess the pictures of Babs I found

at Bush 1's library don't want to be seen :rofl:

[MADem]

38. I don't expect Grandma to look like Hotty McTottie, anyway. NT

[democrank]

7. YAY!

The re-purposed-driven life!

[Captain Hilts]

8. Eleanor R generally had two evening gowns to get her through a whole social season...

and one tweed for traveling.

It horrified the chief usher that she would wear one dress all day. Tough.

[Thrill]

9. OH NOOOOOs

[livetohike]

12. If she ever gets tired of wearing that beautiful dress, I'll

gladly take it :-).

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. I've been wondering what size she wears. I shop at Good Will so an Obama hand-me-down...

would probably constitute a step up for me.

You want to hear the funny part?

I seriously do most of my shopping at Good Will and I have a reputation for being a clothes horse-fashionista. I constantly get, "that is so adorable/love the outfit/you always dress so nicely, where did you find it?!"

Yes I have a bulging closet because my suits only cost $7.99. Bwa!

[livetohike]

28. I wish I had done that (shop at Goodwill) when I was working

I wore a suit every day - it was a)hard to find a shop with nice suits for women and b) expensive.

I'm not good at guessing sizes. Hopefully, Michelle Obama is a size 12 like me :-).

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. Hmmm.... I'm a 10-12. I'll arm wrestle you for them.

[livetohike]

30. I think we are pretty average in size - we would have

plenty of competitors too :hi:.

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. As long as no one suggests jello or mud wrestling, I'll enter the fray.

;)

[Bucky]

14. I agree: she's a peach

[fortyfeetunder]

16. It's a nice dress

I am glad she could wear it twice!

[Norrin Radd]

17. Love her clothes. She has a punk-rock sense of style.

[polmaven]

19. It's a great dress...

and she looks super in it. Not afraid to be seen in public twice wearing the same dress.....Good for her...

She is apparently too focused on doing her job well, rather than on what a bunch of men might think about how the "wimmins" are supposed to look.

I think we should keep her....'course some of those very same men will say she is trying to go outside of her "first lady" limits. We will simply then need only to point out that she is indeed a lady, and maybe they need to concentrate on being gentlemen.

[Wednesdays]

20. K&R

:kick:

[progressoid]

21. That's nothin. I've been wearing the same underwear for 6 days.

:yoiks:

[Triana]

27. TMI, dude.

TMI

[noamnety]

23. Did you have any thoughts about what she said in her address? (nt)

[FailureToCommunicate]

35. Good call. No one could accuse Michelle of using the same ADdress twice! n/t

[Undercurrent]

33. I love this dress.

It's one of my favs!

Laura may have worn her clothes more than once too, but who could tell? Her clothes were distinctive only for their forgetfulness. Who remembers drab drapes, and sofa covers?

[ensho]

36. I dig that dress fabric design - wear it some more! love seeing it

I'd buy that fabric in a minute.
