The wonderful Michelle Obama was on Jay Leno tonight on NBC. She discussed her appreciation of all the prayers and concern for Barack's grandmother, as of course she discussed the 20 month campaign that she has been an intricate part of. Jay brought up the Palin shopping spree, and Michelle mentioned that her outfit was from J Crew. The outfit looked great on her, except for that brooch. By now, you all must know that I don't like brooches in the middle of the chest... but the yellow against her complexion was perfect, and I thought that the colors played well together.
I love J Crew by the way, and I decided to go online to research the cost of her outfit. Here we go, along with pics of the pieces she wore (minus that brooch she wore... I wish it would just stop):
Metallic cloque pencil skirt - $175
Italian Deco Tank - $148 (sale $99)
Crystal-button Colorblock Cardigan - $118 (sale $89)
Total Cost: $441
If purchased on sale: $372
So yes, Michelle Obama also shops at J Crew, and spends HER OWN MONEY to buy a $400 outfit, minus the shoes. Sounds like something a hockey mom would do...
$441? No where near the $2500 Fendi Coat that's in Palin's Campaign Closet, that she knew nothing about (You see Neiman Marcus bags full of Valentino and Fendi, and you don't "know" that you have $150K worth of merchandise? Riiiight)
