Michelle Obama got a touch defensive about her shoes this week. When asked about her foot wear by an eagle-eyed reporter, she grumpily replied "They're shoes".
No Michelle, they are not "shoes". They are especially not "shoes" when you are wearing them to a volunteer D.C. food bank, and they cost $540.
Much has been made about the humble suede sneakers ; they were finessed with grosgrain ribbon laces and had metallic pink toe caps. They are as ugly as sin, look utterly Eurotrash tasteless . I wouldn't be caught dead in them - and neither should she - but that's beside the point.
What in the hell was she thinking strolling into a food bank in such shoes? Surely she knew that someone would do the usual fashion forensics on her and realise that he clodhoppers were wildly over-priced and wildly inappropriate? Yes, wear a nice frock to your state ocassions, your international hob nobbing and your important meet-and-greets. But Michelle. Please also realise who you are dealing with and where you are doing it and have a little more class.
