Oh goodness, it's come to this

If you're a runner like me, you know it's a pain to grab your keys, your ipod, your water bottle, an ID, your phone, your water bottle... and then run with it all! You either sacrifice and minimize, or are weighed down with items stuffed down your sports bra.

Well, the makers of the original BootyWrap are trying to make your life easier.

Wrapped around this model's waist is not a functioning sweatshirt, but a fake garment designed to hold your things and conceal your VPL when you work out. But is it just me or does this just seem so superfluous?

The BootyWrap claims to be flat and not bulky, but it seems like it's just an extra item of clothing to wear on hot summer days. And then your phone is banging around on your thighs instead of stuffed snuggly between your boobs.

Finally, I worry about your marketing scheme if you must compare your product to a fanny pack. A fanny pack! There is nothing stylish about that.

If I'm going to get extra storage gear, it's going to be a spi-belt. At least you can tell what that's meant for.

What a difference a week makes

Michelle Obama hits it out of the park 90 percent of the time, fashion-wise. Up-and-coming designers, classic staples, and figure-accentuating dresses round out her wardrobe, making her one of the more aspirational first ladies in recent memory.

But the other 10 percent of the time, it's pretty bad.

Like these pants, which she wore on the return flight from her family's winter vacation in Hawaii.

Huffington Post calls these pants questionable. God knows I'm a sucker for a fleur de lis, and I'm lusting over white skinny jeans right now - but even I realize these are worse than questionable. They're a bit too tight and a bit too trashy.

But let's not get thorny without giving our first lady a rose.

On Monday, President Obama and his wife observed a moment of silence commemorating last weekend's tragic events in Tucson. Fitting of the solemn moment, Michelle Obama dressed conservatively in this Narciso Rodriguez coat. Coordinating perfectly with her husband, Michelle did not take away from the significance of the occasion.

We all have fashion misses, but Michelle Obama bounces back with the best of them.
