Thakoon Fall 2009 Fall Shoe Collection
Designer Thakoon Panichgul is a favourite of first lady Michelle Obama. Now that is understandable because he makes ladylike clothes. What I just cannot imagine is Michelle Obama strutting around in a pair of these? lol
I like the ankle boots above and the overall mirror-like finish of the shoes. I would actually like to see Michelle Obama in a pair of the ankle boots.
Which of these shoes would you like to see Michelle Obama wear?
