    It’s very purple.

    but why she would choose to wear it in the first place. We suppose it’s possible she was unaware of DVF’s political leanings–

    Maybe its that most onservatives don’t care what your political leanings are… Unless you think it’s good that our troops commit suicide

    though that seems unlikely given von Furstenberg’s high profile and the huge amount of time and money that goes into picking a campaign wardrobe.

    Maybe, unlike the first lady, she dresses herself.

    Maybe she likes the dress and doesn’t care who designed it.

    I must admit that article made me laugh, thinking about how much some people think the world revolves around them.

    An aside: Not a big fan of that dress. I’ve seen prettier things in WalMart.

    Well Diane, if you were paying attention, you’d know Ann gathered her minions, they mounted their expensive horses and rode in the night until they could find a liberal fashion shop to raze for plunder.

    I’m beginning to think the liberals are ALL as dumb as a box of rocks.

    I hate that freaking dress. It is loud and tacky. If Ann Coulter designed it I would still hate it.

    I know, I got no taste. Whatever.

    I sure hope this isn’t a harbinger of what we can expect in the White House in February: tacky liberal dresses.

    PS: the article says DVF has helped dress M.O.?? Does that explain why M.O. frequently looks like she is in severe need of sound fashion advice?

    At first I thought the dress was a nod to Target Stores with the print looking a little like the logo.

    After reading the article, maybe she bought it to thumb DVF’s nose a little bit.

    Its a busy pattern that is for sure!

    I’m not a fan of the dress either but then again…I’m not too into pre-contrived fashion.
    I definitely have MY OWN style.

    I prefer MY clothing to be without labels :)

    Liberals the pettiest of all!

    ^ Well to be fair — even though I blasted it — there’s the possibility that it looks better in person than in the photo.

    Wonder if Stacy Dash would like to label a fashion line of her own? Something “financially secure” conservative women could wear with pride. (No big belts, please.)

    Pretty much concur with all of the previous comments.

    Lol about the designer (maybe she expected Ann to call her personally?)

    Love Ann Romney, but that dress makes my eyes hurt.

    I read a story the other day intimating that Anna Wintour has put out the word that designers aren’t to dress Mrs. Romney.

    DFV must be doing damage control.

    I’m sure the dress she wears to the Inauguration Ball will be much nicer.

    (But yeah, this one makes my eyes hurt.)

    In the meantime, Ann’s explanation should be “This dress? I dunno, it just showed up on the doorstep one morning.”

    I think Anne’s trying to embarrass DVF by wearing one of her more hideous creations.

    ^ What Ann ought to say is that she picked it up in a pile of discards at Good Will for $2.

    It was a dare.
    I lost the bet.
    I took pity on a bag lady and swapped outfits with ‘er.
    I was goin’ for a lower-middle-class slash trailer-trashy look today.
    We’re stoppin’ off to visit Grannie at the home afterwards, and I wanted to fit in.

    Reportedly, Oscar Wilde’s last words were, “Either this wallpaper has to go, or I have to go”.

    After seeing that dress, I’m getting my affairs in order… just to be safe.

    It is kind of ugggley. I guess she could call it ‘bi-partisan’ dress wearing.
    Awwwwww come-on, can’t we all just get along?

    Doug 19: all really fine ones.

    LLoyd 21: ‘bi-partisan’ dress wearing. yesssss.

    Claire 22: Shooozz…. dang, I rechecked the linked story and still can’t see what they were, so here’s my nomination(s):

    1) Flip-flops, originally lavender or pink, but now faded with age. Fits with the dress.

    2) Crocks, white. For doing light work in the flower garden before tea is served on the veranda.

    3) Uggs, also white. For the funky I-got-no-fasion-sense-but-I-am-very-hipster look.

    4) Doc Martins, black and high lace-up. These will clash with the dress but should help Mitt with the stoner, goth and skinhead demographics where he’s been polling behind.

    Am I supposed to give a hairy rat’s ass where she gets her clothes?
    Unlike Moochelle, she’s not perfect, thank goodness. That is an ugly dress on her.
    Personally, I refuse to own clothes that have visible labels and be an unpaid advertiser for the brand, so I don’t understand the obsession some people have with the source of their clothes, or esp. the source of others’ clothes. And WTF is DVF? Latest music format? Or is that overated skank Furstenburg still around?

    I pretty much assume that anyone to whom ideological purity is more important than success is thinking of things like work camps when they look at me.
