3. I usually like Michelle's outfits, but what is that mess she's wearing this time?
Looks like something stitched together from my rag bag. Yuk.

10. I just don't care for those patchworky things.
I think it's garish. But tastes differ...

14. I like the blouse - fun! Here's a site that keeps up with her outfits if you're interested:

They're pretty quick on the draw when it comes to finding out who designed her ensembles.

And they printed a full shot of the flowered blouse she wore in Strasbourg hidden under her black cropped jacket. ;-)

Sasha looks cute as always.

It's really cool that they've opened up the WH to these cultural events as they said they would.

p.s. - FLOTUS' makeup looks great, but I like that she usually wears very little of it. I think it maximizes the effect when she does wear a little more.

18. I don't ever comment on the clothes but
that blouse is outstanding! My GOD it's nice to have someone with a unique sense of style to look at. And boy do they get looked at! Did everyone get photographed this way? Where are the photos?

Not that I want to SEE the photos...
