Dresses have caused\u00a0 a sensation for years.<\/p>\n
This is evidenced not only by the popularity of retrospectives, such as the Costume Institute at the Met’s wildly popular, “Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House years” which, as this several time attendee can attest, had a slowly snaking and patient long line of onlookers no matter the day or the hour. We didn’t wear gloves. Good taste never goes out of style. <\/a><\/p>\n And the recent\u00a0 “Golden Age of Couture”<\/a> show in\u00a0 London\u00a0 seems to speak to our interest in what makes for an enduring classic. I haven’t even mentioned Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, which has been stated as the most copied of all styles.\u00a0 But I don’t think that any of this is what Michelle Obama had in mind, when she went on The View.<\/p>\n She wore a dress. We all know, off the rack $148. Why is this front page news? That you can be stylish and not spend a lot? That this speaks to issues of race and class? That it was well made an simple? That we are tired of hearing about the gumball sized pearls<\/a> and have moved on? But stories continue to crop up, just Google Michelle Obama dress and see how many news stories you find.<\/p>\n
