Michelle Obama and her footwear

Bookmark and Share

First the shorts, then the shoes. What a summer Michelle's had.

Apparently, the fashion press made a stink over the Crocs she wore out for lunch on Martha's Vineyard last week. No, not the kind that my hubby wears. The newer, more sandal-looking kind, which I thought were perfectly fine and even cute for a beach vacation. (Ok, maybe not Martha's Vineyard, but whatever, she's Michelle Obama.)

She apparently made up for her Crocs-faux pas by wearing asymmetric black sandals by Maison Martin Margiela, who is known for modern shoe designs. Check them out in the picture. (Personally, I like the dress more than the shoes. And check out those arms!)

ok i get compliments on my black crocs ballet flats. just saying. and they're the only ones i've ever found that i can stand in for hours without feeling like i'm standing on cement. i have yet to have a problem with her "fashion faux pas" like the rest of the world.

Really!

Some people, including many in the media, need to get a life and focus on what's really important these days. Hint: sandals, shorts and other things the POTUS' wife wears is near the very bottom of that list.
