6. I love these!
Now I'm going to get flamed, I would like for someone to steal all her belts, and never give them back!

This is coming from someone who wore their belts like that through a better part of the 80s.

11. Actually I lived in the eighties, and never saw belting used that
way. I think it is a disservice to all involved for her to wear them like that.
But, she does not wear the drapes, like Scarlet or Pickles did, and she is a wonderful, sensitive, caring, involved First Lady of the US and I love her.
So - I'll ignore the belts, but geez........

13. It reminds me of those back-strain things warehouse guys wear
Great outfit if she loses the belt, or maybe take it DOWN to hip-level....why is it so HIGH?

18. its an illusion to spare her hips. people use things like that to
marginalize a body part that might be proportionally out of sync with the rest of them. She has such a great figure, such a small waist. She is so wonderful, I love her.

19. I don't think she needs to do that! She has such a nice powerful body.
She's so statuesque....she doesn't need to resort to visual tricks at all!

23. It seems like all her belts end up in the same position.
Could be she's that short-waisted. :shrug:

In any case I agree that the belts should go.

29. I was just checking out a Vogue Magazine ...
today, and that belted thingy was prevalent. I noticed several belts stitched into the garment.

20. I'm with you on the belts. Love everything else about her, though...
... so I guess I can ignore the belts. :-)

7. Well, I don't like that high waisted belt thing.
I love the first pic behind the podium....where you can't see the belt!

Looks like everybody's having fun. Love our First Lady!

9. I think this is her "Star Trek" belt that Barack makes fun of
:rofl:

She wears it well with other outfits, but I don't think it works on this one. Love the sweater though...and her willingness to have fun with fashion in general.

8. It's the FLOTUS fashion trinity
The (asymmetrical argyle) sweater, the belt, and the bow.

She loves 'em and isn't afraid to show it.

:rofl:

10. Now, there's someone I would like to have a beer with. I'll bet
Michelle is a lot of fun. I love the look on the face of the little boy in #9; he feels like most of us do about this wonderful woman.

15. Please Michelle, I beg you, lose the damn belts!!!!
They do nothing for your figure. I was hoping that this particular blouse and belt stayed behind in Europe. Also, why wear the belts so high?????

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

17. I love Michelle but the belts need to go
That belt is way too high up. I always thought belts went around the waist and could help one attain the hourglass look. I can't believe that it is comfortable to wear a belt there.

However, I still think she is an awesome FLOTUS. I am happy that my only complaint is about how she wears her belt. That is very trivial in comparison to my complaints about Laura Bush.

22. Why are the kids looking at her funny?


<P>

I really wish she would lose the belt worn so high. It looks foolish, especially on the outside of a sweater. Doesn't she have anyone who will tell her these things? The Empire waist look is not for her.

25. Did Sasha and Malia Participate?
Did they get to sit in the Oval Office with Dad? Because I don't see them in these pictures with Mom!
