Michelle Obama is not a fashion/style icon for me, or for countless other people, for that matter. The clothes she wears are either buttoned incorrectly, competing tones of the same color family (think greens and blues), incorrectly accessorized outfits (her belts and shoes), or the dress is just plain ugly. I was reminded of my grandmother's bedspread when I saw her long white dress, and a black widow spider with the read/black monstrosity. Michelle Obama would look stunning in perfectly tailored and accessorized suits and outifts with LOTS of help from a stylist. Please. This reminds me of the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes". Who among you is brave enough to declare that Michelle Obama does not dress in the style becoming to a First Lady, and continuously offer her some great suggestions, as you did with the stunning pomegranate suit? That was elegant and VERY fashionable. I salute you for that move. What in the world is the hype all about?

The colors though seemed to be relevant for the occasion. While red was fiery and forwardthinkingly aggressive, black represented the mood of the nation. So it was a well balanced color coordination of restricted happiness. On the other hand, yes, the design could have been altered significantly...for good!
