I’ll admit a secret to you.  I have been slavishly following all the fashion news about Michelle Obama for the last few months.  I’ve read all about her high/low fashion sensability, what shade of lipstick she wears, and her fabulous brooches.  But this editorial from the Calgary Herald gave me a bit of a shake:

She is a lawyer, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a community activist and former hospital executive. She was an adviser, strategist and impressive speaker in the Obama campaign. She was once assigned to be Barack Obama’s mentor; that’s how they met. But this week, what everyone wants to talk about is whether the colour of her outfit was chartreuse, lemon grass-yellow or marigold.

Right.  I really should know better.
