Michelle Obama is fierce…but…not everything she wears works. Today’s New York Daily News did a pictorial on “Michelle’s Smashing Summer Style”. Now, I will be the first to say that Michelle is fierce…she has had quite a few sensational looks since entering the Vanity Fair International Best Dressed List. But like every other human, one can not be flawless 365 days out of the year. Unless you are Blaine Trump or Carolina Herrera. That said, since Michelle–prior to White House duties–was a working attorney mom, she definitely proved a great sense of style, considering lawyers are known for their fashion savvy. Either way, here some snap shots from the pictorial from Daily News (DN) of her smashing summer…which I know you will agree with me…are not even remotely smashing…rather…crashing and booming.
Here''s what I think: she should be able to wear an outfit as pedestrian as this while schlepping through Grand Canyon National Park.But the Daily News needs to edit the Smashing Summer nonsense to feature only her best looks...this not being one of them.
This shmatta looks like one of those Woolworth house coats from the 60's that my mother wore while cleaning the house...sans lei. And no, they are not coming back into style..belted or otherwise.

Here's a schleppy ensemble...if I've ever seen one...for her meeting with the doyenne of "perfection". The Daily News (DN) calls it "economical" but the GAP twin set thing is fotz. It's like that same fashion fotz Michelle Obama made when she meet the Queen of England. (See below)
This is what Michelle wore at Buckingham Palace that prompted Oscar de la Renta to say, “You don’t go to Buckingham Palace in a sweater.”
Michelle loves her lace frilly things. There have been a few yikes-aroo outfits with lace.
See what I mean....oy.
The Daily News actually refers to this look as "Parisian style". Now, excuse me. I know DN is no WWD...but they just have to just shut up.
And DN calls this sporty. Really? I call is unflattering for the shape and color.
Here, DN point out her trendy madras shorts, when I say, "Oy...leave these kinds of images out of your story. Period."
The minute I saw the photo of Michelle in shorts, I *knew* they would show up on here! I cannot believe the uproar over that!
Abe,you wrote in an earlier post that the point of getting dressed was to look your best,and I agree.The thing is,most people think they are going to look good BECAUSE they're wearing clothing that looks good on display or what have you,even if it doesn't fit or flatter their body type,unfortunately….
