If we had her money, we’d all dress better.
I know Michelle Obama paid a good bit for the vintage brooch she was wearing simply because I know where she bought it, and nothing comes cheap on that site. However, as a vintage jewelry and accessory fan myself, I know that you can get the same look for lots less money if you shop around. That’s the beauty of vintage goods compared to new designer goods. Just about anyone can look stylish if they shop for vintage bargains.
She is a beautiful First Lady. In addition to being well educated she is a great Mom. Being a Mom is the most important task she has and she does it with grace. I’m thrilled to have her represent our gender!
