I'm now convinced that Michelle Obama suffers from fashion Dissociative Identity Disorder. On the one hand, the First Lady openly brags about her cheap J Crew duds.
On the other hand, Mrs. Obama hides the identities of premier designers such as Narciso Rodriguez, Givenchy and Sonia Rykiel (belts), Jason Wu, Thakoon, Lanvin (those $560 tennis shoes), and now VBH!
VBH; Very Bad Habit, Michelle.
How come Washington Post Pulitizer Prize-winning fashion czarina Robin Givhan - following Michelle on her overseas jaunt - isn't reporting this in "Who They Are Wearing? It's A Matter of Public Record."

Compared to what she's wearing, I suppose J.Crew IS cheap. What ever happened to her shopping for clothes at Target?
Not to pull up the Bush family again, but if this had been Laura Bush people would have been slamming her left and right. Well, from the left. I haven't read many blogs lately but I hope, in an effort to balance the universe, the right is slamming Michelle for these designer duds.
You're absolutely right about had it been Laura Bush.
White people are so damn jealous and hateful. Michelle Obama has the full right to wear whatever she chooses. We don't pay for her outfits. She is a Harvard educated attorney/former executive married to the most powerful man in the world who also happens to be a best selling author and Harvard trained attorney himself. They can AFFord to wear what they like without regret. I wear wht I like and so does everyone else. Should she be traveling with other spouses of leaders wearing cheap clothing or slave rags? The Obama presidency has uncovered racism in every form. Have you ever stop to think that designers loan her clothes or give her clothes like they do stars? Is cheap advertisment for them. Get a life.
Actually anon slave rags would look better than some of the stuff she has been seen in. The Obamas tried to sell the world that they were/ are palin folk who just worry about the status of the poor. If she contributed what some of her clothing costs to a food bank they could eat prime rib for a Hell of a long time. It is not racist to point out a clear double standard. Tell people to live one way--live another.
Amy you are correct. If Bush wor a new pair of JC Penny underware the world shuttered about the oil barron money and rich snobs.
Oh lordy, are we off on this jealous and hateful whitey crap again? Talk about a need to get a life.
Marty,
Look I don't have a problem with the alligator bag, I mean as long as she didn't kill more than she could eat. No reason not to use the rest of the animal's hide up LOL!
Did you know you can get gator fingers down in NOLA of course you know you can get gator fingers down in NOLA :) You can pick your gator out of the tank, they are kinda of greasy, I hear they taste like Chick... hmmmm....I wonder if she made a necklace from the teeth ;)
The shoes will be next along with, of course, the belt.
My thing is if the WH is going to thump thrifty free clothes from J Crew, full disclosure is required. I don't care if Michelle sports a six grand bag. Don't think she pays for it. Gratis. But that's par for the course. Nancy Reagan, Jackie Kennedy, all of them. Celebrities. Free clothes just for the designers' publicity.
I find it fascinating that the only person here showing racism is the one pulling out the race card. Funny how it seems to work that way...
Oh well. I don't care what she wears, really (unless it's God-awful and then I cringe). I just get irritated by the hypocrisy in the reactions. It happens on both sides and I find both equally irritating.
But I'm just an irritable person.
