1. meh. the outfit has a nice cut to it. complimentary to her body. shoes are over. she needed

something more plain. it made it too much.

3. Wow, I was thinking the very same :) n/t

The outfit is inappropriate on so many levels, with "age" being the most obvious. Ann, you've been around the block enough times to know to pass up the biker fashion boutique.

[gulliver]

52. I'm thinking black cowboy boots

[seabeyond]

72. nah... looked at outfit again, need something less, not more. nt

[snooper2]

64. What do you expect Sarah Palin dressed her

Yo Ann, you're never going to be 15 again LOL

[patrice]

65. That's right! They're too much. Making the whole outfit kitsch, in the neighborhood of

super-sentimentalized paintings on black velvet.

[movonne]

104. I liked the shoes...not the dress...plain black dress and the

shoes would be great...

[loli phabay]

114. i love the bolero style jacket, i got no problem with her wearing this, im sure a lot of the people

judging her fashion sense are total fashion disasters, PS ho9pe you are well ya nutter

[trueblue2007]

152. ANNE ROMNEY LOOKS LIKE A HOOKER

my friends... i think this looks SLUTTY.
I would never wear that.

i am about her size, and her age.
I DRESS BETTER THAN SHE DOES.


THIS OUTFIT GETS AN "F"

[Waltons_Mtn]

2. So that is what a first lady is supposed to dress like?

My god we can see her knee!!! Snarch!!

[arthritisR_US]

4. An upscale biker chick ;) n/t

[appleannie1]

82. I thought 1950's biker chick wannabe.

[arthritisR_US]

106. Yes! Now I know why I recognized it.

[Arctic Dave]

136. Yeah, like a richie rich slumming a biker bar.

Maybe that was her motivation.

[goclark]

34. She is trying to upstage Michelle O ~

Her problem is that she is NO WAY going to upstage Michelle!

Michelle has style and grace and a sincere smile that lights up the world.

This B.... is evil with every step she takes, it doesn't matter what she wears, she is hateful and self centered.

[gateley]

55. Michelle has something Ann lacks -- class.

[tblue37]

98. I have to say that while I am stunned by the beauty and style

of some of Michelle’s outfits, I am sometimes stunned by how klutzy and ill-fitting other ones are. In terms of style, she often hits it right on the nose, but sometimes misses by a mile. Fortunately, though, Michelle is so charming and classy in herself that even her fashion misses do not detract from her overall charm and appeal.

Ann, on the other hand, is not a charming or appealing person, so her fashion misses seem much more damaging. In general, I think her hair is her best feature. It usually looks sleek and attractive, as well as entirely suited to her face, her age, and her position.

But her clothing choices are often often simply weird. I think this outfit is cute in its own way, and would be attractive on a younger woman, but I do think it is over the top for both Ann’s age and her position.

As for the shoes, I think they are very cute, but they don’t really go well with that outfit, and especially they do not suit Ann’s age or status.

I assume she was trying to prove that she and her husband Money Boo Boo are cool and can "kick it with the young, hip crowd." They have been told that they seem stiff and unrelatable to most American voters, so she is trying to come across as more relatable with this outfit. Unfortunately, though she is trying too hard, and it shows.

[TheDebbieDee]

132. Princess Diana had great fashion-sense as well. But I've seen photos of her in

a couple of outfits that made me wonder "What the hell was she thinking?"

Same thing goes for Mrs. Obama. I once saw her in a photo with the first ladies of France and Italy - Mrs. Obama looked as though she was trying to mimic Snow White!

Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, Mrs. Obama dresses fantastically.......but that one time? Damn........

[BlueToTheBone]

9. lol n/t

[calimary]

129. DUzy!

I think this outfit was too much. Certainly as a suit it was too much especially for her age, plus those shoes were WAY overboard. She's not supposed to be telegraphing "I'm Sexy!" with her clothing if she's going for First Lady. I would have gone plain, plain, plain: simple black top and either simple at her age and standing, but still with plenty of "Wow-factor." ONE statement piece at a time, especially with the leather and the laser-cut "lace" effect. And plain black slippers or even satin evening boots.

But all that stuff going on at once - WAY too much. It would only be appropriate if she were editor-in-chief of W or Vogue, instead of being a political wife in her 50's or early 60's who fancies herself living in the White House, NOT Trump Tower forcryingoutloud! She shouldn't be presenting herself as out there or trendoid, or allegedly "edgy" like this.

[Happyhippychick]

7. Where's her whip? Is Mitt a closet leather daddy?

[flamingdem]

87. LOL

magic leather underwear perhaps?

[HillWilliam]

145. That's EXACTLY what *I* thought

That's the kind of thing someone might wear in a dungeon or a Fetish Expo, not a political campaign event.

Mitt, the daddy? Somehow I doubt that. Magic dydees perhaps.

Now I must hasten off for brain bleach. Perhaps total immersion for full effect.

[onecent]

8. OMG! Doesn't she have a fashion advisor??????

those shoes are HIDEOUS but go well with THAT HORRID DRESS....BWAAAAAA

[tanyev]

11. Somewhere Sarah Palin is sobbing.

In envy.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. Having all the fashion-consciousness of a goldfish,

I marvel at the level of snark that a pic like this can generate.

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. Same here

'Spew alert' seems such an over-reaction. I assumed this would be about something a woman (I guessed Ann Romney, at this stage) said, not wore (I assume this is about the clothes/shoes, since her hair doesn't look different from before).

[Honeycombe8]

12. Maybe she's a witch!

Double bubble, boil and trouble.

[Waltons_Mtn]

18. See if she weighs the same as a duck!

[flamingdem]

89. A pointy hat and she's got her Halloween outfit nt

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

123. She thought about turning Mitt into a Newt

But she looked at a recent pic of Newt and decided she already had it better than Callista.

[lumberjack_jeff]

125. Dammit, you forgot the nose. And the hat. n/t

[avebury]

13. Between the outfit and her shoes I do not think that it

compliments her legs at all. She looks like a Madonna wanna be and definitely not First Lady material. The shoes are just plain trashy. It looks like she is trying to dress like a teenager.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

33. Stripper shoes

seriously

on edit: and Silver Glitter nail polish!

[HappyMe]

37. No, not stripper shoes.

They are just wrong for this dress. The shoes would look fine with a plain little black dress.

[avebury]

42. OMG! I hadn't noticed the nailpolish.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

105. Which doesn't match the toe nail polish....

This outfit is so unbecoming to a woman her age...

[mucifer]

15. Flame away at me but, I think this is a very petty thread and DU would get upset

at people criticizing Hilary Clinton in the way she dressed and the way she talked and it's just petty and stupid in my book. Maybe this thread is more appropriate in the lounge.

[lonestarnot]

23. Excuse me, but when did Hillary ever put on a garb like that?

[etherealtruth]

26. No flame from me

(as I stated down thread) ... there is so much associated with this woman and her family to be offended by .... why focus on something this irrelevant?

[seabeyond]

31. +1. group think, approved hypocrisy. nt

[99Forever]

35. Petty, indeed.

There are so many SUBSTANTIAL reasons to detest this arrogant, out of touch 1%er. I'll pass on the fashion snark, it's juvenile.

[DavidDvorkin]

51. Agreed.

[WinkyDink]

76. Oh, too bad about ya. This condescending rich [expletive] deserves every criticism.

[Logical]

120. You must not notice the Christie fat posts.

[gollygee]

135. I agree

100%

[C_U_L8R]

17. Shiny and over-doily-ed

But that big honking Rolex is the ugliest part

[Warpy]

38. And much more appropriate on someone a third her age.

I shudder to think how much she paid for that. There is entirely too much going on, the skirt is the wrong length and those shoes are hideous with it.

One of the main criticisms of Mitt is that he changes his policy plans every 5 minutes, that he doesn't know who he really is and we don't, either. This and the leatherette biker suit she wore on Leno suggest that his wife doesn't, either.

[goclark]

47. missed the biker suit...maybe

she is trying to attract a richer Younger man from her church.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Leather works on the new airplane window planes

Mitt is installing, WWII pilots wore leather to fight off the cold and wind.

[HappyMe]

20. Wrong damn shoes!

Take away that sparkley stuff at the neckline.

Just because a woman is middle aged doesn't mean you have to wear dumpy clothing.

[Chorophyll]

21. She wasn't thinking anything; wives of presidential candidates are dressed by stylists.

And honestly, she looks pretty good. (On the outside.) She's a vile person.

[Hutzpa]

22. How old is she again?

nt

[etherealtruth]

24. I want to spew almost every time she speaks ...

I am sickened by her lack of graciousness and the absence of gratitude for how much life has given her an her family.

The outfit, however, is reasonably flattering ... it is not my specific taste (far too much embellishment) ... but she does not look bad (she looks kinda nice and if she were a democrat, we would probably be positive about the look). I could understand being disgusted by the (potential) cost of the outfit ...

There is so much 'bad" associated with this woman and her family ... why focus on something this shallow ....? There are very real spew worthy things associated with this woman.

[Mad_Dem_X]

27. No. Just...no.

Those shoes are not First Lady material.

[originalpckelly]

28. At least it's not the overpriced bird shirt.

[hatrack]

29. Can't really comment on the clothes, since I have zero fashion sense . . .

But I couldn't help noticing that her tritium laser sight gaze is just as gentle as it ever was, and that her face remains unchanged, sculpted as it is from industrial diamonds.

[tibbiit]

30. Blatant Palinization

They hoped to add some Palin spark.
tib

[Freddie]

32. Actually I kinda like it

Although the shoes are a bit much and she can't quite get away with the bare-leg look. The dress is flattering to her very nice figure and as a female I'm jealous (always a bit too "hippy" to wear a cut like that even in my younger thinner days).
A bit too tight and short for the magic underwear? Many Mormons are speculating!
But not a First Lady dress. Wonder what the lady on NPR who said Michelle "dosen't look like a first lady" thinks of that.

[Waiting For Everyman]

36. She is the worst dressed Presidential candidate's spouse I have EVER seen.

And I remember back to Ike and Mamie. And those shoes are just reprehensible -- they're on a par with that sickening bird shirt. I for one don't believe a stylist did that, it's 'her', it has the look of her other outfits. I saw a pic of her and Mitt in HS in 1966 and her dress looked like something a dog barfed up in that one too. I'm roughly their age, so I know what 'good' looked like at that time, and what she wore was nowhere close. Money can't buy taste, that's for sure!

[tblue37]

100. No, I think Cindy McCain's expensive, boxy dresses and

Last edited Sat Sep 29, 2012, 06:06 PM - Edit history (1)

suits in vivid day-glo or electric shades were much worse. The colors, the cuts, the fabrics, and the fit were always painful to look at.

With her fair complexion and very blonde hair, Cindy always looked much better when she wore softer shades of blue, green, pink, or rose or neutral colors like black, white, grey, beige, or tan—but she seemed toprefer brilliant hues. Vivid reds and oranges are actually my favorite colors, even for clothes, but on her they were simply too much, especially since she would wear an entire outfit in one overwhelmingly brilliant or electric color, rather than breaking the color up or just using it as an accent to energize an outfit in a softer color.








Here are links to some of the other ones that hurt my eyes:

44. I like the outfit....

HATE the shoes though.

[magical thyme]

46. like everything else the GOP does

waaaay over the top.

Each piece, in and of itself, would be ok by itself. The top a bit much, but with a plain black skirt and simpler shoes, fine. The skirt by itself a bit much, but with a plain silk top and simpler shoes, fine. The shoes with a plain black dress, ok.

All together, at once? It's like green plaid with red bubbles and purple stripes together. It's just all too much. And it's all too shiny.

And her legs are waaaay too old looking for that much attention drawn to them.

I'm sure she thinks she looks hip and young and kewl, or something. Just another FAIL.

And since the GOP has seen fit to attack Michelle's beautiful look since day 1, not to mention claim Michelle just doesn't "look" like a 1st lady, Ann's appearance is fair game, imho.

[flamingdem]

91. The high cut of the shoes make her legs look stubby

She needed less pronounced shoes to pull this off and neutral nail polish pleease

[cali]

50. She looks fine. Plain black pumps would have been better

but I don't get this kind of shit at all.

DU little gossipites loved to accuse Laura Bush of being dowdy and now here we are with Ann Romney.

I despise this kind of petty catty stereotypical female behavior.

57. Kind of like the dress, though the jacket should be more fitted. I don't care how much they cost,

the shoes look cheap and trashy and besides that they are ugly.

58. Bare legged? She should be wearing hosiery with such an outfit. It's too dressy for bare legs!

67. +10

[K8-EEE]

59. Is that leather? Looks plastic....and I don't like the clown buttons on the jacket

With high heeled slippers, and Mitts watch.

62. Is this crap really necessary?

With all the negatives her husband has does DU need to resort to clothing criteria posts for the would be 1st lady?

I find it disgusting when the right does it to Michelle and its just as shabby when we do it to Mitt's wife.

Grow up. This post doesn't even belong in the lounge.

[MiddleFingerMom]

[LadyHawkAZ]

63. And the problem is?

There's nothing wrong with the outfit. It's cute and it looks good on her- certainly better than the too-bright red trainwreck she wore at the RNC.

[Retrograde]

68. Top OK, skirt borderline, shoes - just no.

Mormon goth. But overall, better than the getup she wore on the clip on the Daily Show (a mostly red dress with various colored streaks. Or was it white with mostly red streaks? I have a shirt with a similar look - I've been wearing it while painting)

And yes, I've criticized Michelle Obama's outfits at times: still don't like the full skirts with the 3/4-sleeve sweaters that make her look cut in half.

ETA: and too shiny for TV imho: it draws one's focus.

[jackbenimble]

69. I kind of like the outfit.

And it looks nothing like biker chic to me. But the shoes are all wrong. If nothing else was available then just some plain black pumps would have looked better. The shoes also make it appear she has thick ankles. I usually don't criticize the way women who are public figures dress, or their appearance, because I think we all have our own style and it is a little petty really. But, since this gal seems to think it's okay for her to criticize others I thought I would chime in with my opinion of her choices this time around.

If you want to go for it - do it all the way.

Not this namby pamby look of sweet and saucy.

She is the lead on this week's Yahoo!/OMG! ""What were they thinking?!"
http://omg.yahoo.com/photos/what-were-they-thinking-09-28-slideshow/

I agree with that sentiment. The outfit is hideous, and I'd say that even if Michelle Obama was wearing it. The shoes are okay--for a 20-something out on a date. And, the Michelle-copycat gray nail polish makes it look like she smashed her fingers. It worked with Michelle, because of her skin tone, and the pink and gray dress she wore for that convention speech. Here, it just looks like she has bruised nail beds.

of her outfit.

It was on yahoo and many other sites.

STOP IT THIS IS HARD

[GreenPartyVoter]

94. Streamline the jacket a bit more, plain leather skirt, some stockings, and different shoes. At any

rate she wears it better than I would so I can't say much.

I do think it's fine to wear a fun outfit to a late night show. This is not high tea with international leaders or anything.

[DevonRex]

95. Every woman here could make it look better on her.

Even if we hate the material and everything.

1. The buttons on the jacket have to go. The whole thing is too busy as it is.

2. The jewelry has to go. Same reason.

3. The shoes are terrible. Replace them with a high pump that elongates the leg. No strap to bisect that line of the leg. Stockings!!!

4. A nice coral for the nails and lips.

5. If the sleeves are 3/4 length then try them down instead of pushed up. The outfit has the feel of a late 50s, early 60s sort and if so the 3/4 sleeve complemented it.

Nothing we can do about the skirt length. Pity it doesn't hit at mid-knee.

Once all the changes are made then she could experiment with a single bracelet that matches her nails and a matching necklace - that hangs and doesn't stay up around her neck. Thin coral.

I don't like the outfit personally. It's too busy. I don't like leather and I don't like layers and I don't like the lacy stuff. But the cut is good. It could be made to be more attractive than it is with some changes and she would have looked much nicer. I believe she must have been advised by a much younger person. Or her husband. Mine has talked me into things before when I knew better. Like 6-inch heels.

I just tried this as a fashion exercise. Kinda fun.

109. White, black and red seem to be good colors for her

(Is that kind enough?) Prints are not her friend, nor are froo-froo getups. There's one picture where she seems to have a sincere smile - she's very attractive in that one.

[sammytko]

111. I thought she looked good in the red convention dress.

And you are right, prints are not for her. She looks good in a strong blue.

Was she insufficiently modest?

Or is her body communal property?

107. ahh, I dont' really go for the dress and

with the jack her husband makes she should go for some lazer hair removal on the legs.

Those razor nicks look hurtful.

108. I have to say she has nearly 20 years on me

and I admit I wouldn't look as good in the male equivalent.

[FloridaJudy]

110. What was she thinking?

"I paid a fucking fortune for all this plastic surgery, and by God, I want my money's worth!"

She's not that unattractive, if you can ignore her personality (and her DH's). And no particular piece of that outfit is too outrageous. It's the total package that fails. My mother would have told her to take off at least half of those accessories.

But what would I know? I even thought Sarah Palin was kind of cute, in a "naughty librarian" way. Until she opened her mouth and revealed one of the ugliest brains in the world.

[nadinbrzezinski]

112. Why exactly?

This looks good on her, maybe the shoes were too much.

Sorry if I cannot get in the bandwagon of the other side can be gone after for dressing in a certain way.

Oh and yes, there is a mirror post at the mirror site, I am sure.

[aletier_v]

113. Eh. I'd hit it.

122. Ehhh Is that Ann Romney? She looks damned good. Sorry, don't shoot me.

I am not afraid to admit a woman* who looks and dresses like that is worth a nice long look (if you're single, and if she is). Plus I am all for First Ladies ditching the traditional dress. Fuck tradition, be adventurous! Break the shackles!

There's no emotional block against me admitting a woman can be stunningly beautiful and also the scum of the earth. This is one of those cases. If the Devil came up in female form she would look even better than this.

Anyone ever see that new (short-lived) "V" series? Yeah, that. She was as horrible a creature as they get and she was eye-poppingly gorgeous. Oh, snap, wait, that monster's name as ANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!


* Note, I said a woman who looks and dresses like that. Not Ann Romney in particular.

149. Condy actually looks pretty good

The boots are a bit much, but at least she matched them with something that didn't cry out for handcuffs as an accessory. A single daring choice doesn't make one look like a bad joke. Am I the only here old enough to remember Bella Abzug and her signature crazy hats?

As I've said, it's not the Republican women's fashion choices that disturb me: It's their way of thinking.

Except for Ann Coulter. In her case, I find both nauseating. Jeezuz, lady, how old are you? Don't you think it's time to dress like a grown-up, instead of like a middle school girl who's doing her best to look like a dominatrix?

134. Outfit is not my cup of tea, but she looks great nonetheless

People should be able to wear what they want, IMHO.

[mitchtv]

137. no fashion sense here, but

There's a whole lot going on with that outfit, I think a bit too much for daytime .

139. I think there was too much going on here with that outfit. Needed to be sleeker.

Queen Ann looks better in something like this:

?1332353149

Solid, bright color and the material is better for her.

She needs a new stylist. These women rarely pick their own clothes so was it really her fault?

141. Most knees over 45, look better covered

I know she's trying to be hip, but we all know they are pretty square

143. women over 45 shouldn't wear shorts. or bathing suits. or skirts that don't cover

their offensive, ugly knees.


Jesus. H. Christ.

150. Hey.. "they" can wear anything they want to

but knees especially on tv (and even more so on HD tv) are not all that attractive..

We all have knees, but most people in a high-profile situation on tv at least try to accentuate the positive ..

Going to the beach/pool or on vacation with family/friends is a LOT different from being the wannabee president's wife on tv.....

142. Actually I think she looks hot in this one

I've seen some pretty awful pictures of her but this isn't one of them. She looks stunningly sexy here

Of course it is what is on the inside that counts and that is why she'll never be truly attractive to me

[BlueToTheBone]

147. Just what we need...a stunningly sexy First Lady

Actually I like the looks of our real First Lady; who has class and style. Her deep natural beauty and attraction shine through without looking like a hooker.

[lillypaddle]

144. That is hideous

[coldwaterintheface]

146. Well it's a look

Perhaps in her world that outfit is considered fashionable.

[Catherine Vincent]

151. I love the outfit but the shoes doesn't go with it

Is this a typical outfit that she normally wears?

[BlueToTheBone]

154. She wants to be our First Lady.

OMG. Think Mittens would ruin us. Think on this. She would set the style of the nation and it makes my head hurt.
