Picture of the Day

The President and Mrs. Obama are on a state visit to the UK, so  naturally the crucial question is what did Michelle and Kate wear?!?  Here you see the pretty and proper Kate, looking simply chic in a dress from British retailer Reiss that sells for $285. Michelle looks smashing in a gray dress from California-based designer Barbara Tfank,  with a "peony pink" bolero and gun metal sling-backs.  I know you can't see her shoes in this picture, but I just love saying "gun metal sling-backs." I also love that our First Lady is fashion-forward with her own sense of style. 

Michelle Obama White Dress

I know that Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president, because that was all there was on television yesterday, but what was waaaaaaay more important than that was the dress that Michelle Obama decided to wear to the inauguration balls.

Michelle Obama decided on a white (or ivory, or eggshell) dress designed by Jason Wu and she looked, dare I say, lovely in it. I say "dare I say" because I know that all the morning talk shows are going to disect the outfit Michelle Obama wore as though it reflects how the next 4 years are going to go.

Michelle Obama looked conservative with a hint of sexy and Barack Obama, well, I think we're all thinking the same thing about him. Let's just hope he's not a fan of cigars... so what did you think of Michelle Obama's white dress?
