The presidential election is getting a lot of coverage, but not just about the candidates’ qualifications. The candidates’ style and their wives’/husbands’ style is under fire, as well. Hillary isn’t taking much heat for Bill because he’s been in the office before, so we know what to expect fashionwise from him (doesn’t seem he’s changed much since the late ‘90s). But Barack’s first lady Michelle is being compared to Jackie O. I’m pretty sure that can’t be a bad thing.
Besides the obvious similarity (Michelle O., Jackie O.), the hair is a big thing – Michelle wears hers either flipped up or curled under, oh how Jackie O.! Mrs. Obama has, like Jackie O. had, a classic style. Think business-like sheaths worn with thin belts, clean-lined pants, collared shirts and, of course, large sunglasses.
Michelle’s style probably won’t help or hurt Barack’s chances of winning, but if the votes are in his favor, at least she’s ready to take over the role of fashionable First Lady.
