Ann Romney’s $990 shirt – worth it?

Like the shirt that Ann Romney was wearing on Tuesday? It’ll cost you a pretty penny.

The bird print top, made by Reed Krakoff costs $990, a saleswoman at the designer’s store in Manhattan told Styleite. The piece is part of the Krakoff’s spring 2012 ready-to-wear collection. A publicist for the line told ABC News that they “had nothing to do with” Romney wearing the item. “She must have bought it from Saks or Bergdorf’s, we definitely didn’t send it to her,” she said.

Romney wore the shirt (but not the matching pants made to go with it) during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” with her husband, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Who cares? Not Bill Burton, former deputy press secretary under Obama, who defended Romney on “The Bill Press Show” on Tuesday.

“I’m of the view that Ann Romney should be off-limits,” Burton said. “…I remember in 2007 and 2008 when people would go after Mrs. Obama. I was enraged about it. Because you never know if they even signed up for this willingly. They may just be supportive and along for the ride.”

The Romney campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
