FLOTUS Melania Fashion

[Silver Pines]

I'm on the fence re:  wide leg cropped pants.  But she does wear them well.  I've seen too many women wearing them who look like they're wearing tight leggings with a flare at the bottom to allow for blood circulation.   

@CatherineofAragon

@Right_in_Virginia

Yes, I've seen that, too.  Also, it's a look that really doesn't flatter anyone who's not tall and slim.

[Silver Pines]

He looks like your average metrosexual.  They're quite common.

@Sanguine

Yep, unfortunately.

Can you tell me what does flatter someone who is short and fat?

Several million.

Well......

.....oh, forget it, lol.     

[Silver Pines]

Several million.

That's universally flattering!

[Right_in_Virginia]

@Right_in_Virginia What does that shirt mean? Movie?

No one's figured this out @flowers .... but there's a team of specialists working on it!  LOL!   

[Right_in_Virginia]

Pretty much anything that fits correctly.

Got'cha....

[austingirl]

@Frank Cannon

Did you have to post that? 

[Sanguine]

Got'cha....

I do appreciate her...um...exuberance.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Got'cha....

Newsflash @Frank Cannon ... this wouldn't look good on a tall, thin woman.   ^-^

But, let's cut her some slack.  This looks like it's from the Obama years.

It could have been worse. Anyone remember Mimi from the Drew Carey show???? (unsee)

[Silver Pines]

We're having a dry spell, so does anyone object if I hit Pinterest and Tumblr a little later to snag some Melania pics?

Speaking of the Mooch:

Last Tuesday, while giving a talk at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, Michelle let it slip that her husband, the former leader of the free world, wore the same tuxedo to every black tie event during his two presidential terms. “That’s the unfair thing,” she said. “No matter what we do, he puts on that same tux.”

Michelle, a graduate of Harvard Law, also noted just how unfair the double-standard is when it comes to expectations for men and women.

“Now, people take pictures of the shoes I wear, the bracelets, the necklace,” she noted. “They didn’t comment [on] that for eight years, he wore that same tux, same shoes."  ...

Travel and Leisure

Poor Moochelle and her First World problems.

[libertybele]

Not FLOTUS by any means...but as far as fashion; Chelsea was criticized for wearing 'frayed' shoes.  Certainly she can afford another pair just like it and secondly, wearing nude pumps with a black suit looks hideous.

I just came up with a brilliant idea, I think

A page a day calendar of Melania's beautiful dresses and shoes.....with her in it obviously

You ought to patent that!

Shoes in poor condition.
Ugly shade of "nude"...looks like cat upchuck.
Clunky shape when she could have chosen a more attractive one.
Skin on legs ugly and dry looking.
Veiny feet.

Par for the course.

I'd give the profits to here.

sometimes it's best to wear nylons, tights or something!

I vote "something."

[Silver Pines]

This is why I will never stop loving nylons and tights.  I don't care if I'm the only one who wears them, they just make legs look good.  And you can find them so sheer they're barely there.  No need to resort to Leggs Suntan, lol.

I refuse to wear them.  Maybe to meet the Pope, but even that's doubtful.  It's hot and humid here, most of the year. Not gonna do it.

@Sanguine

Most women agree with you, I think.  We have hot, humid summers here, but they don't bother me much, and I don't find them constricting.  I actually like the way control tops feel. 

My sister-in-law got married and the wedding was held on her farm....it was warm, but not bad.  My husband's aunt kept asking me if I wanted to crawl into their truck to take off my pantyhose (super sheer, barely there Spanx brand that comes in a range of shades for fair skin).  I said nope, but she kept at it..."Come on with me, let's go so you can take those things off."  Geez!  I finally had to say "IT'S NOT HAPPENING." 

[mountaineer]

I suspect that few - if any - women around Chelsea's age have ever worn them, so they think the bare leg look is flattering. In this case, not so much.

@libertybele

Well, this criticism seems a little out of place .... considering the praise that was heaped on her for this outfit   

[Smokin Joe]

Well, she has her mother's hips.... It looks like she lost some weight since the pic in the shiny pants was taken. Either that or she got a clue about muting her form just a little.

[Silver Pines]

MEOW!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a thread on FLOTUS fashion or another 'Silliness Thread'

That depends entirely on what she is wearing.

In the second picture Chelsea looks like she has to poop.

I saw new posts and came to the thread hoping to see FLOTUS- only to have my eyes assaulted by Chelsea.

Something my Chippewa wife's grandma used to say: "Chicken one day, feathers the next."

I'm kind of hoping to see more pictures of Barron, too.  I thought he looked cute as a bug's ear in the "Expert" shirt.

A couple of my grandkids got a kick out of him messing with the fidget spinner.

To be fair, Chels was preggers in that pic. Having gone through three rough pregnancies, I will abstain from commenting on this particular pic.

[goodwithagun]

I'm looking at Baron's mannerisms and seeing what I see with my son, who is on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum. I really hope that his parents use this opportunity to humanize the issue. Many people tend to think that those on that end of the spectrum just haven't been punished properly, mainly because they "look normal."

[libertybele]

Melania always looks great and so well put together.

[libertybele]

 Resized the photo. Mod1

@libertybele ,

Any idea where the photo was taken? I think I see a man in a yalmuke

Hospital visit last night. Guy in the yalmuke is a chief surgeon.

@Freya

Maybe the hospital?  Trump visited Scalise last night.  He looks pretty grave there.

[Gefn]

Perfect and practical for a hospital visit. And the shoes match the belt.

Thank you to the surgeon.

[mountaineer]

Nice dress. Can't go wrong with that classic style.

[libertybele]

Agreed.  Classic elegance.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Yes, Melania is dressed appropriately and looks lovely.  But don't miss the expressions on their faces ...

Melania is a 2nd Amendment supporter because she likes to display her guns.
