Michelle Obama cites these shorts as her biggest fashion regret

When asked what her biggest fashion regret was during an interview with BET's "106 and Park" this week, US First Lady Michelle Obama said the shorts (pictured above) which she wore as she exited  Air Force One with her daughters during a family vacation in Arizona was her biggest fashion regret.

Mrs Obama said she regretted wearing it back in 2009 because of the backlash she received from people who felt it was inappropriate for a First Lady to dress like that.

She told BET,
"Because people were like, 'she's wearing shorts getting off of Air Force One. Sometimes I forget I'm the first lady and I'm running around in shorts."
Michelle said she won't wear shorts on Air Force One or out in public again. But what's wrong with wearing shorts tho?

      I totally disagree with you Mich. Your logic of using Patience as an example is so wrong, why? Because Patience wouldn't look appropriate in anything other than being fully clothed. Besides, she was on vacation with her family. Would you ordinarily think a woman on vacation is inappropriately dressed from the pictures above, I would say a big fat NO.
