Michelle Obama's Botswana Looks (PHOTOS, POLL)

After dancing in Johannesburg wearing ASOS Africa, picking a pair of ensembles for her day in Soweto and doing push-ups in Duro Olowu with Desmond Tutu, Michelle Obama was off to Botswana on Friday with her suitcase full of suitable ensembles.

She stepped off the plane in Gaborone in a vibrant Jean Paul Gaultier pantsuit paired with the Kerala reverse wrap belt by Tory Burch. She made a quick outfit change into her Rachel Roy knit jacket, white capris and sneakers before painting murals at the Botswana-Baylor Adolescent Center. Then, it was one more look for dinner -- a beaded collar jacket by ASOS Africa (available here for $41.37), a Duro Olowu scarf, black leggings and flats.

On Saturday, the Obama gals set out for a safari in the Madikwe Game Reserve. The first lady picked a neutral palette topped off with her fringed Prova scarf. And on Sunday, Michelle bid Botswana adieu, heading home in a cropped trenchcoat over a yellow sweater, black trousers and flats and her square-framed sunglasses.

Take a look at Michelle in Botswana and tell us what you think.

Not attractive. Too cheap looking clothes. I wonder if the lady who stood by the car picked out those clothes for Michelle.

I don't know... I usually like what the First Lady wears but this time, not so much. Although the red suit was nice, besides the outfit worn of the safari, I think she was a little too casual this time. But really like her hair pinned up, she would look great in a short do.

At least 20% of the comments here have been deleted, assuming 5% are vulgar, and that's probaby high, a certain percentage gets deleted because one of Mrs. O's fans went over the top in her defense..
Why not just call this a fan club ? That should keep the naysayers away.

I've read this thread over the past few days. Approximately 50% fell into the vulgar range. Why do trolls flock to these threads about our First Lady?

Because the so called trolls speak the truth.
