It happens to the best of us.

Don’t feel bad. You know how sometimes you leave your house looking and feeling like a million bucks, and then other times, not so much? Well, that’s how Michelle Obama felt yesterday, the “not so much.” She often looks fantastic, and usually looks pretty darn good, but yesterday was just a big ole miss. Floppy, too-long legs on her pantsuit, suit-jacket sleeves too long or too big or too floppy, and a belt added as if it could fix these problems. (Though the belt is similar in color so maybe it’s not a complete afterthought — hard to tell.)

Here’s an example of how she gets it right: Michelle Obama on vacation. Every vacationing American should take a page from her playbook!
