Michelle Obama's Latest Fashion Statement: Shiny Sneakers
Spotted: Michelle Obama ditching her trademark flats for a pair of metallic sneakers at yesterday's event at the Capital Area Food Bank. Whispers caught up with the first lady, who wore a casual outfit to help bag food for area children, and got some shots of her new plum-and-silver shoes. MIA: the belt she typically sports.
Here are the pictures:
While Jill Biden introduces the first lady, you can get a sneak peek of her sneakers through the crowd.
Here's a close-up of the shoes. When reporters asked for details about them, Michelle Obama's press people simply replied: "They're shoes."

Just Fashioni
As people we should set a better example for our youth period.The energy we put in negativity is mind boggling sometimes,I bet we could all be"First Lady." So listen up people, we the people should remember the sick, shut in, homeless, and forgotten,and instead of losing it over the first Lady shiny shoes, let's take a better look at ourselves and perhapes try to shine in a more positive light.And volunteer, help the sick, needy or just plain ole" for goodness sake live and let live.The shoes are not strange, it's just fashion,so please leave the First Lady alone while she just helps to feed the hungry.PEACE
Focus on something else!!!!!
People, people, people. I have read alot of blogs and comments about the first family and this one gets to me. If Michelle wore jeans and t-shirt, you guys would say something. If she shopped at Walmart, Sears, Target, or JC Penneys it would be okay. Recession or not she is suppose to look depart from the average women. She shopped at high end boutiques before she became the first lady. I think you fail to know this. She can afford whatever she wants. It saddens some of you that this smart, intelligent, classy lady has got it all. No other first lady has ever had the spotlight on them, you would think Michelle is the President. My goodness, some of you are quick to say it isn't about race, reading some of the comments, I beg to differ. She looks good all the time, JCrew or Wu. Take it or leave it. I have to deal with this daily on my job, about the clothes I wear. I think it's more about being JEALOUS. If you don't have the money for high price items......Whose to blame Michelle? Michelle keep up the good work. I love it.
Shoes should not be the issue!
So what, She shows up in a pair of expensive sneekers to help out at the FOOD BANK. Did The former frist lady barbara bush ever go to a food bank and give any of her time to help the people that are less needy. Does any one in D.C. other than Michelle go to the Foods Banks!
