Had Michelle Obama or Kate Middleton worn it, it would have been sold out last night.

That cost a lot less or have knockoff versions that are cheaper. Not too many people can afford or want to spend $1100 on a silk blouse.

She has looked utterly miserable. As to the outfit, I doubt it had any meaning and I doubt many thought it similar to Clinton's as it is pretty normal.

I am surprised no one is commenting on her smile meeting Bill Clinton.

My disclaimer being I'm not a 'clothes horse' and have developed my own very economic style.

And, of course, I'm not married to a b(m)illionaire. But even if I was, my old hippie sensibilities would likely still have me in gauze skirts and cotton shirts.

Almost more of a rose color. I'd like a nice cotton gauze shirt in that shade. I'd pay about $25 for it, unless I could find it on clearance, somewhere.

Had Michelle or Kate worn it, it would have been gone in a second. The stories been up for over 10 hours.

She just needs a tattoo with a message like one of those old car signs: Body by __________.
