Happy Monday, darlings! Here’s a shot of Miss Shelley to get your week started. Unfortunately, she’s up to her old Shelley O fashion tricks, which may cause you the same distress it caused us. Fortunately, there’s an uncommonly hot man to take the sting away. Also, it should be noted that former-FLOTUS told the young people at this event that it’s not possible to have it all at the same time so don’t stress about it: “That’s a lie. And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that shit doesn’t work all the time.”

There. Now you’re full of love and good feelings. Brace yourself for the outfit:

Okay, we overstated it just so you’d be willing to give it some slack. We don’t actually hate this, but we think the combination of massive peplum and open neckline is a bit much. This isn’t so much a propriety thing or a prudish thing as it is a proportions thing. A slightly raised and narrowed neckline would’ve balanced this out a bit more. The bottom half of the look is really cute. We just think the top could be edited a bit; not just in the neckline but the overall fit, which seems a bit large on her. Those sleeves are huge on her and the shoulder of the garment starts about 4 inches lower than her actual shoulders.
