it was an odd length (like a tunic), and the colors coordinated with the chocolate leggings. If you notice the trim on the coat was chocolate. HOWEVER, she needed it buttoned for proper effect.

where you raise your head slightly up to indicate you see them or are to acknowledge them? Usually involves a crowd...you see the person a bit away....and you do the quick upward head bob to let them know you see them.

Melania does that while coming down the steps. About the 12-14 second marks.

Who is she acknowledging?

She wore a jacket to visit the children her husband locked in cages that said "I really don't care do you?" She is herself an immigrant that worked here illegally. She did what her husband is locking up people for, however she is white so it is A Okay! She was a birther. She plagiarized Michele Obama's speech. She is as evil as her husband.

Her clothing was totally inappropriate and makes a mockery of the dignity of our White House. You have an issue with my saying "crotch shot?" Well I wasn't the one that showed mine, she did for the world to see.

Anyhow, many of the most tiresome folks have moved to JPR, where they can continue to bash Hillary and enjoy Glenn Greenwald to their hearts' content. And if people leave for other reasons, it's unlikely that one of those reasons is snark about Melania's trashy wardrobe.

Appropriateness is another unknown in their worldview.

Stilletto's while handing out relief supplies, or walking across the lawn; ubiquitous, schlumpy, wrinkled and apparently un-tailored navy suits; formal gowns/shower curtains fit for a Hollywood bash; Jackets with big, bold topical lettering; hideously long ties and pants cuff dragging trousers; you name it, they don't get it. The concept appears to be beyond them.

And it has nothing to do with tan suits and sleeveless blouses either. It's their lack of awareness or maybe just a who-cares-ness.

since they stopped at the ankle and you could she had sandals on.

But without having seen that, it looked almost like she was wearing a micro-miniskirt over tights (but I'm guessing that was a long, form-fitting tunic if it is attached to the white upper blouse part).

Much of what I see here would be over-the-top praise if Michelle Obama had worn it. Many of the items that have been heavily criticized here were ones I find quite attractive - and most even appropriate for the occasion. (And there have been times when I found images of Obama wearing similar things on similar occasions that no one batted an eyelash at.)

That said, wearing a button-down shirt tucked into your skin-tight leggings is just bizarre.
