Pastel Parade! Top 10 White House Easter Outfits (SLIDESHOW)

When you wake up to the smell of vinegar and hard-boiled eggs, you know it's time to whip out that light blue seersucker pantsuit and prepare yourself for a feast of chocolate woodlawn creatures. Yum! But when Easter Sunday is over and the plastic grass has inevitably made its way from your basket to every carpet in your house, the fun doesn't stop. Since 1878, the White House grounds have been open to the public for the Easter Monday Egg Roll where the President and First Lady play host to thousands of children and rolling eggs in matching pastels. The eggs and the kids aren't the only ones looking good, though.

Here are your Top Ten White House Easter Fashions:

• • • • • • • • • • 10) A tailored blue jacket and a winning smile are the perfect spring accessories. Blue eye-shadow is hard to wear, but here she pairs it nicely with a flashy corduroy vest with orange polka-dot lining. And Laura doesn’t look bad, either.

We must remember that the Easter Egg Hunt is for the Kids. Thinks about would you where heels if you took your kids to an easter egg hunt, or fun in the parks? The Obamas made it real and not a photo op.

Where heels? Or wear heels? Good grief!

What a suit of John F. at the end there. If I had a tailor that was able to make it fit like that. Coupled with the slim tie, and pressed white shirt, that is all a man needs. For some reason, just the captures of old cameras make the photos seem so foggy, and because of that it makes the Kennedy's seem surreal and unattainable. Its an interesting thought, I feel it every time.

Trying to be funny doesn't make you funny.

Great pictures and funny, witty captions. Lindsay, your slide shows always bring a smile to my face and sometimes a chuckle. Keep it up!

What an odd headline, when neither Jackie, Hilary or Barbara Bush is wearing pastels in any of their photos.

The Clintions are great beautiful and intelligent people. This country is very proud to have them ran our country. The whole world love them.

All looked matronly except Jackie O - no wonder the designers are going crazy over Michelle - look at what they had to deal with in the past - ghee

Some of these pictures with the Easter Bunny are so silly and cute. My favorite is the last picture. Bush Sr. and Barbara seem like they'd be good grandparents. Bush Sr. has all the stories to tell (i.e. jumping out of a plane, being president, etc.) and Barbara seems like a warm grandma.

A warm Grandma.....maybe...but for those without money...heck, for them, no compassion.....they were "better off" in the stadium than in their own homes...right Barbara?!
