THE MISSES:
Melania’s 3D fl oral appliqué embroidered
Dolce & Gabbana jacket that she wore
in Sicily on her fi rst trip abroad cost
a whopping $ 51,500! It came under
immediate fi re for costing the same as
an average American’s annual income!Melania’s choice for gardening was also rapped as
she sported a smart designer Balmain shirt priced
at $1,380 to plant vegetables with children in the
White House kitchen garden.Aware of the criticism for being too high end, Melania
has toned down her look and has even started repeating
her dresses! She recently sported a $ 75 shirt and $ 303
pink J. Crew pants for a vacation look.Another blooper arrived when the fash forward First Lady accompanied her
husband to Texas to support the relief efforts of Hurricane Harvey. While Donald
dressed down in khakis, Presidential windbreaker and work boots, Melania strode
out in an army-green bomber jacket, Hollywood aviator sunglasses and black
snakeskin stilettos, leading herself to be coined “A Disaster Barbie”!
But must say, the First Lady - along with the rest of the White House - now
realizes the power of clothing and will continue to use it as a strategy to impact
how she and the Trump administration are percieved.However, fi tting into the gloves of a First Lady is never so easy,
as Melania has had her share of disasters.SAVVY DECEMBER 2017 106
