What will the First Lady wear next?

FLOTUS has worn high heels to survey hurricane damage and an apathetic-messaged army jacket to tour prisons sequestering asylum-seeking children from their families. Let’s predict Melania’s next sartorial choices!

A fair-aisle sweater knitted with the word “CHILLY” and decorated with polar bears and their cubs, to oversee an ICE sweep at a meat packing facility.

Riding boots over jodhpurs to watch wild horses get rounded up and culled by the Bureau of Land Management.

A rhinestone encrusted water bottle sling, holding a “White House” labeled water bottle, worn over the shoulder during a visit to Flint, Michigan.

A silk blouse that says “I (heart) Aunt Lydia” in Comic Sans font, worn to a UN conference on Women’s Rights.

A gold nameplate necklace worn while rallying voters in swing states. The necklace says “no pee-pee tape” in Russian Cyrillic.

A beaded headband with a feather in the middle, worn to welcome copper mining companies to Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

A silver belt buckle with the word “NUKES” boldly displayed across it, while visiting South Korea.

A sweatshirt emblazoned on the front with, “If you can read this you’re in my way,” to visit a children’s literacy campaign.

A fun, summery dress patterned with illustrations of candy bars and ice cream cones at a trip to tour food pantries for hungry communities.

A fascinator hat with a miniature tent bouncing on a little wire, to a tour homeless encampments around D.C.

A satin bomber jacket, the word “bootstraps” embroidered across the back, worn to visit opioid treatment centers in Ohio.

A #BeBest beauty queen sash worn to her husband’s impeachment trails.

A MAGA baseball hat as she departs the White House for the last time.
