Melania Trump is not a doormat, an arm piece of candy, or anyone's shadow. She is a very powerful and independent woman clothed in elusiveness. And that is her strength. Mysterious simplicity which speaks loudly if you look closely...
"All eyes were on incoming first lady Melania Trump, who made a statement in a crisply tailored navy blue coat by New York-based fashion designer Adam Lippes, topped off with a matching hat by Eric Javits, another New York designer, as she stepped into the Capitol rotunda for the inauguration of her husband, Donald J. Trump, as 47th president of the United States. She finished off the look with leather gloves and stiletto pumps." (Ingrid Schmidt, The Hollywood Reporter)
From that same article, “Melania looks armed for a historical, and long, day in a navy look, ready for battle,” says Rothman. “Her military-inspired look allows her to blend into the background, but the distinctive boater hat sets her apart. A wool boater, rather than the traditional straw, is unexpected and screams fashion — elegant yet effortlessly carefree.” (style strategist Lauren A. Rothman)
Her outfit immediately reminded me of another era in history:

What is a disclaimer? (according to the Cambridge dictionary:)
a formal statement saying that you are not legally responsible for something, such as the information given in a book or on the internet, or that you have no direct involvement in it.
And this brings me to make mention of Melania's new book of memoirs, simply entitled, "Melania."
To be fair, I am a supporter of pro-life, but I do admire a strong woman who has the courageous to stand on her beliefs, even/especially if they differ from those of her husband's...keep in mind he is now the most powerful man in the world.
