Meet the 1%: Michelle Obama wears $2,720 sweater

Doesn't everybody have a  $2,720 sweater? Apparently, Ann Romney doesn't. Hers only cost $990. The media was outraged anyway. We are awaiting the mainstream media's reaction to Michelle Obama's extravagance. (crickets chirping)

Via WFB:
The first closet has increasingly become a subject of interest since Michelle Obama swept fashionably into the White House in her Jason Wu ball gown.
Yesterday, Ann Romney’s clothes stole the spotlight as she wore a fashionable top on Tuesday for an appearance with her husband on CBS “This Morning.” Politico reported that the Reed Krakoff shirt would “cost you a pretty penny,” at $990.
But Mrs. Romney will need to step up her fashion game if she wants to fill the shoes of Mrs. Obama.
In March, the first lady visited her British counterpart Samantha Cameron wearing a L’Wren Scott sweater in a trendy bright yellow hue. The embellished cardigan costs$2,720.
The first lady’s favorite embellished cardigans from L’Wren Scott range from $2,095 to $3,320. Plain cashmere-blend cardigans from the brand start at $910.

Guess Ann Romney got the message, wearing a $3800 dress and $1300 shoes at the RNC. Of course, it's possible that she doesn't spend as much on her clothes because she saves it for her Olympic level dressage horse - the one she got a $77,000 tax break for. On the other hand, she is legitimately rich enough to buy whatever the hell she wants. So is Michelle Obama. So what's your point?
