what's so hard to understand, the haves are getting richer and spending more. the rest of us have to go to discount stores.

"CNNMoney posted an article on an interesting theory this week, entitled "Consumers: We want Gucci or Target. Forget the Gap." The site reported that sales of luxury goods increased 10 to 12 percent last year in the U.S. and although there are apparently no hard stats, spending at TJ Maxx and its ilk is up, up, up. Meanwhile, "middle-of-the-road shops, such as Macy's and JC Penney, have struggled to gain ground." Also among those suffering? Gap, Chico's and Ann Taylor. "

Interesting.... it's almost as if Americans are either fabulously wealthy or dirt poor... who knew??

Hey--I was too busy MAKING style news.

It's obvious to me that there's no middle ground in shopping because there's no middle class. It highlights the extreme differences in income in this country

Mrs. Obama is fierce!!

You look marvelous Mrs. Obama. I'm sure the tea nuts will make the price of her bag into a national scandal by Monday.....and of course snarky Sara will have to comment because that's the only way she gets any press....meanwhile, WINNING at the WH!

Simply fabulous. You go FLOTUS.

Did you notice that Michelle Obama item, was price on her and not the other female. It's like, that black woman is carrying a $1000 bag! And so? She and her husband has money and she worked very hard to reach where she is.

I've noticed that...like, somehow, they think she's undeserving. How convenient that people forget (a) she pays for her own clothing and (b) she was making $300,000 a year long before her husband became the President.

Gwen, a bird made a nest on your head.
Gisele lookin' fine as always.

Why would I care what kind of handbags or hats are worn by people I never meet ?

You didn't have to click on the link!

I know that of course. But I did, in order top raise the question in your mind. My pleasure.

Does Mrs. Obama pay for her own clothes?

[roxette]

06:13 PM on 03/12/2011

Yes she does

[smilingasa]

06:19 PM on 03/12/2011

YES!

AND the Obamas paid out of THEIR OWN MONEY to redec the Oval Office

AND AND don't forget they gave away almost 2 million to charity last year!

Whomever MO's new dresser is deserves congratulations. Her outfit is both age appropriate and well fitting.

[madatnewsmedia]

08:14 PM on 03/12/2011

She doesn't wear anything that isn't age appropriate.

[december30]

07:35 AM on 03/13/2011

Or ill-fitted.

[Daisytoo]

04:06 PM on 03/13/2011

Most of what she wears a teeny-bopper would consider unsophisticated.

Listing price tags about what elected officials (and their families) wear and do inevitably ignites a useless class war on this site.

[youvegot2bkidding]

How else will aitch p get those clicks?

[cdnbystander]

12:25 PM on 03/13/2011

If they paid for it themselves, why should it matter?

[InfinteShibumi]

Optics. The Obamas, while not as rich as the Bushes (or McCains) get bad press for buying into the American Dream. Read some of the comments here -- and anywhere else on this site when H P talks about what the Obamas wear, do or how they spend their vacations.

That aside, I like your question! ;-)
