FLOTUS pulled out all of the stops when she wore this striped number by Carolina Herrera along with a pair of pointy toe stilettos.

Stilettos are actually very comfortable to wear. It does take some practice early on, but eventually, you can even run in them 😀 As for walking on grass, one walks tippy-toe and the heel barely touches.

When you see the unofficial or State visits, all of the suits and dresses are loosely or tightly controlled as a collective.
I remember visiting the Jacqueline Kennedy exhibit at the Met in NYC many years ago.
She was even then coordinating with other first ladies or her sister-in-law about colors and styles for all of her visits, so all
looked coorinated with each other…even for the black and white press photos.

that was very interesting, I didn’t know that.
Jackie was a style genius. Simplicity is key.
For a few years, I had a stylist helping me out, and she taught me so much. I had already learned that it is not an easy task to put together an outfit that “sings”. She was a milliner by trade (as was my maternal grandmother), and designed head pieces for Shakespearean plays. Helping people with their fashion choices was a sideline for her. Some people just seem to have an innate sense of style, and others like me are fashion putzes.
And while it appears that these days, anything goes, it really doesn’t. With so much leeway and apparently no rules, it is more difficult to make fashion choices than in the past.
I don’t think men are as preoccupied by what they wear … but I could be wrong about that, but I do love the president’s simplicity. He always seems to be dressed just right.

Nicely said, WSB. About time someone gave Mrs. Abe some props. She is an attractive woman.
I don’t think she would consider wearing something, either a dress or accessories, that would attract too much attention and overshadow her husband. She is always dressed elegantly and appropriately for the wife of the Head of State. I’d imagine that the Japanese populace are quite approving of the image she presents for Japan.
She’s a keeper.

Surveillance video captured city inspector Melinda Power getting in the face of the customer at Jaguar Power Sports on Blanding Boulevard.
The customer seen in the video is a military veteran who thought it was wrong to force store managers to take down the military flags.

At one point, the video shows Power getting in the man’s face.
“She says, ‘What did you do for this country?’
He says, ‘I took three bullets to the leg. I almost lost my life for this country. I’m retired. I’m a veteran.’ She gets in his face this close and says, ‘You did nothing for this country,'” store employee Katie Klasse said.
Soon after, the word of what happened at Jaguar Power Sports got to the mayor’s office.
Mayor Lenny Curry then sent out three tweets about 5:15 p.m.

None! That was the affirmative action Presidency, there is nothing else you can call it. And it was for both of them.
Dumbo gets a Nobel Peace Prize upon election for doing nothing yet, just hopes and dreams. Then he makes a mockery of that prize by proceeding to terrorize the world starting in Honduras, Venezuela, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and probably a dozen more. Did they revoke that prize yet?
Mrs. Dumbo ( allegedly ) assumes the role of fashion comedienne, becoming a parody of taste and fashion sensibilities. Her fashion sense is practically satire that would have been funny only if it came from National Lampoon or Mad Magazine. But it wasn’t funny, it was pathetic and sad. But just like Dumbo, she got the equivalent of Nobels from the entire official fashion world in ceaseless puke-worthy glowing praise presumably delivered with a straight face.
The long national nightmare is over.
