Shelley O Watch

Darlings, if we DON'T do a post about Shelley O's outfits for her European trip, our inbox will collapse under the weight of all the missives begging us to do so. We do it for you, kittens. And for the children.

Well, at least she seems to have found the right heel height to wear when she's with her husband. Please, Shelley. No more flats. As for this look, it works. It's appropriately First Lady-ish.

We don't think wearing a belted duster like that is the best idea for a woman with a set of substantial hips, but it is a stylish and striking look, so points for that. Plus, that's probably the highest a First Lady's hem has ever gone.

J. Crew pencil skirt and sweater

Oh Shelley, honey. No. Just no. Don't get us wrong, they're lovely pieces and we're trying to get behind the whole "thrifty" thing in a time of economic uncertainty, but save the J. Crew pieces for Washington brunches and photo ops in your victory garden. Don't wear them when you're going to meet world leaders for the first time. Besides, pretty as they are, they don't actually go all that well together. You're all washed out and colorless, Shelley! No one wants that!
