Melania Trump told student visitors to the White House garden created by Michelle Obama to continue eating a lot of vegetables and fruits.
“Trump wore a Balmain plaid shirt to the event, along with Converse sneakers, CNN’s Kate Bennett reported on Twitter,” said businessinsider.com. “Net-A-Porter is selling the shirt for $1,380, and it perfectly matched Trump’s [red] gardening gloves.”
The site noted that Melania’s outfits are not on the taxpayer’s dime, “so the cost of her attire doesn’t affect the American people at all. However, the first lady’s style is a series of calculated, strategic decisions.”
Footwearnews.com found Melania’s shoes more affordable — navy Converse sneakers at $50 a pair.
“A fashion-savvy woman, Trump is a follower fan of high-end footwear designers — Manolo Blahnik is one of her favorites, but she has quite often been seen in Christian Louboutin and occasionally Chanel,” the shoe site said. “This pair of sneakers may be the most accessible pair of shoes Trump has worn since moving into the White House.”
On the way to visiting victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Melania was pictured wearing the Manolo Blahnik stilettos as she boarded Air Force One.

Every photo of Melania in a Designer dress should be tagged with a bill from a contractor Trump bankrupted or investor he defrauded.
