Real vs. Deal

Givenchy "elschia" hobo, $1,975 at Barneys

vs.

Gap leather hobo, $168

This well-designed Gap hobo looks better in person, and much more expensive than it is. Even though the details on the Gap bag are not identical to the Givenchy, the silhouette is quite similar. The color of the Gap hobo is an added plus, very neutral and of the season.

Michelle's Slightly Evolving Style

Is the dress great? You bet!

Is the way Michelle is wearing it as superfab as it could be? Unfortunately, NO.

Why Michelle has to preppify everything with either a cardigan or pearls, I'm not sure. This dress looks like an animal in a cage as worn by Mrs. Obama. The dress is fierce, but is made to look dowdy and prim by the black cardigan and dainty diamond earrings - Lose Them!

Here are the accessories that should accompany this great dress:

Lucifer Vir Honestus or Ileana Makri Earrings

or Cristina Rotondaro Earrings

A High and a Low Shoe Choice
Bottega Veneta or Pierre Hardy

or BCBGirls or Givenchy, if Michelle really feels like living on the edge...

or Jean Schlumberger Earrings from Tiffany, How can you go wrong?
