Pretty sad that it makes the news when Mooch wears an outfit that costs what the vast majority of American women wear.
(Daily Mail) — She famously chose to wear his frothy white design to her husband’s inauguration ball, propelling his name into households around the world.
Now, Michelle Obama, 48, is supporting Jason Wu again – albeit on a rather more diminutive scale – while watching her pennies.
The First Lady chose to wear a Jason Wu for Target dress, costing around $35, to a home visit in Ocoee, Florida, where she ate dinner with a local family over the weekend.
The navy sleeveless chiffon dress, in a floral pattern, cost a mere snippet in comparison to what the Taiwan-born designer usually charges for his coveted frocks, which run into the thousands of dollars.
The first lady chose to pair her dress with a red belt, rather than the ‘gold’ – closer to a mustard yellow – accessory that is sold with the dress.
Sold out online and in most Target stores, the cut-price dress is just one component of the designer’s collaborative line that sold out within hours.
A Florida couple snapped up their entire local store’s worth of the designer collaboration, totalling around $7,000, with the sole intention of selling the pieces online at a vastly inflated prices.
