I would be ashamed to let my little girls dress with hiked up dresses that were way tooo short and did not look respectable. The youngest had a sun dress its in the 30;s the temp... and she has a sun dress on??? Who's dumb idea was that?. the older daughter looked like she had a t shirt on for a dress that was once a dress she grew out of or found in her sisters closet. NOTHING like the first time we saw these gals 4 yrs ago.......
100% disagreed. The outfits are cute and age appropriate in my book.
Malia followed the key rule for wearing a shorter dress: only "expose" one area at a time. She paired her short dress with opaque tights and long sleeves. Perfect.
Sasha's dress was festive and fun.
Great choices by all of the Obamas.
P.S. People wear sleeveless outfits to dress up occasions all the time. There are these magical inventions called coats that protect you from the elements outside. And the Obama girls did have very nice ones to wear on their way to the inauguration.
I had not seen the photos until the link you provided and I must admit I see nothing wrong with the way the two Obama Girls are dressed. Nothing provocative or offensive in the slightest. I find it cute and age appropriate.
They look like perfectly normal young women IMO. Not the kind of clothes I would wear but then I am 44. When I see what the average teenager is wearing I think those two girls are models of style and respectability in comparison. It's not as if they are wearing see through lace, or boob tubes with high heels or "hooker" boots. And I love their coats which are very classic.
And I think I am pretty conservative when it comes to dressing. I see nothing which is inappropriate or "disrespectful"...
I tend to favour classic styles and looks ( Blazers, neutral colours, lots of navy and beige, pearls etc...) but I would have no problem with my daughters wearing those outfits if I had kids.

I would totally steal Malia's skater dress! I love that shape! :P As long as it was the right length on me. I think she has 5 inches on me, so I bet it would hit just above the knee on me! Hahaha.

I totally agree. I think the girls look fine. I appreciate that they aren't little robots, and are allowed to dress age appropriately. Good grief...there are certainly more important things to worry about imo

I think they look great. The coats are very nice too.
