"During her infamous \\\"Rainbow Tour,\\\" Eva Peron dazzled Europe with her outrageous jewelry, fur coats, and couture frocks. Michelle Obama's toned-down version: sparkly sweaters. Obviously, much has been made of her fashion choices this week, and bloggers have been breathlessly reporting the every Jason Wu, Michael Kors, and J. Crew she manages to rock. Even Howard Kurtz over at the Washington Post dedicated today's column to how all of England is obsessed with her clothes. But there's something about sporting those bedazzled sweaters in the daytime that get us. It's not exactly the typical first lady fare (but then again, neither is casually putting an arm around the Queen). There was that beaded and sequin-dotted J. Crew number she wore over to 10 Downing Street (the prime minister's house), and sequined Junya Watanabe at the Royal Opera House, and we're pretty sure she's not done yet. [Ironically, the press seems to be more focused on Mrs. Obama's sartorial swoosh than some of the issues the president is there to discuss](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/02/AR2009040204045.html), like oh, say, yesterday's G-20 Summit. But can you blame them? In times like these, Michelle Obama's sparkly sweaters are a superficial, yet much needed ray of sunshine. Eh, we'll see what the French have to say."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
