A lot has been made of Michelle Obama's decision to wear shorts during the family's vacation visit to the Grand Canyon a few days ago. Temperatures in the canyon can reach upwards of 100 degrees this time of year. The shorts look like some standard Old Navy cargo shorts...nothing particularly fashionable about them. I think that she wore for comfort and not fashion, but a debate has sprung up about whether or not she is "too casual" as a first lady.
Michelle already won my 'Swag Award' following the Obama's first trip to Europe, where she wowed the media and other female heads of state while President Obama was meeting with officials at the G-20 Summit.
Personally, I think the shorts are fine and I would be more outraged if she wore a pants suit in the middle of August to the Grand Canyon than these simple shorts. I wanted to pose the question to my readers though. What do we think of her shorts?? Comfortably chic, or crossing the line??

Confortably Chic!
ReplyDeleteYes she was dressed comfortably chic. I don't see what the big deal is. America seems to forget that is has been a while since we had a First Lady that was a fashionable, fit, young mother. There is nothing wrong with the shorts. They were not anything special or even cute, so she obviously was dressed for the occasion and the weather. The fashion police should know by now that she knows what's fashionable and appropriate and this time is no exception.
