Her mother-in-law is a class act, who had no desire to be a fashion plate, so why do we judge against a woman like Jackie who worked so tirelessly to be one?<br /><br />Michelle Obama has her own style; she is an extrovert, sports brash colours that demand the spotlight and dresses for the fact that she and her husband are celebrities first and foremost.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04741062569246094417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-45003446357021646752008-06-15T17:12:00.000-04:002008-06-15T17:12:00.000-04:00I am trying to ponder Michelle Obama or Cindy McCa...I am trying to ponder Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain. Neither one, thank you!<BR/>I find that clothes may make the person but Michelle Obama seems to totally lack any trace of elegance-no finesse whatsoever This may seem like a criticism- It is not. <BR/><BR/>I don't know her. Yes, her clothes are lovely but, perhaps she should not try(and I don't even know if she does)<BR/> to emulate Jackie O, I think the reason it worked on Jackie was that it wasn't contrived. I see Michelle Obama better suited to a more athletic wardrobe- I think she would look fabulous in great trainers and yoga style clothes- Perhaps casual though not casual chic-<BR/>Maybe I am relegating her to a place where she would rather not be.<BR/>I just can't see her in a gown or a suit or a drees- sheath or not. She has a more 'masculine' look and it can't be played up or down. Her look now is not her- Both of them seem like Kennedy shadows- His mannerisms and hers are more like a projection of a PR company than a natural wardrobe- self imposed. She should try to be herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-54009939318401974862008-06-09T18:50:00.000-04:002008-06-09T18:50:00.000-04:00GP: Yes, when pearls are huge they lose their drap...GP: Yes, when pearls are huge they lose their drapiness. <BR/><BR/>I have experienced Pearl Shrink.<BR/><BR/>My 10mm rounds were lavishly large when I bought then, but then 12mm freshwaters became (occasionally available....mmmmm.

But a propos of pearls, whilst I fully agree with your mantra, duchesse, that 'life begins at 10mm', I'm not overly attracted to enormous pearls. In the UK they are considered to be a little too flashy and I also see them as rather starchy. I much prefer a long string wrapped nonchalantly round the neck a few times like a casual scarf finding its natural position. Also with the low V neck a longer string would be more flattering.<BR/><BR/>And I don't remember Jackie Kennedy wearing very big pearls, just rather unassuming medium size. And if I remember rightly it was discovered after her death that the famous three string set was false. That should be encouraging for our bank accounts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-1909202711628430912008-06-09T09:25:00.000-04:002008-06-09T09:25:00.000-04:00I too favor oversized pearls!!

Poor things will always be compared and either told they are imitating or "wanting". Ms Obama looks amazing, she knows how to work her silhouette.
