Michelle Sparkles in Bronze

The First Lady wore a bronze sequin dress at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's Annual Awards Gala in D.C. on September 15. Love her arms! {Seen on InStyle}.

Power to the Purple!

The First Lady has been rocking the color purple during a lot of meetings with other First Ladies. Love it! It's definitely sarting to feel more springy in DC, and I love the bright colors!

Pretty Pretty Purple

The First Lady rocked a plum Isaac Mizrahi ensemble at President Obama's State of the Union address. Speaker Pelosi, Vice President Biden, and the First Lady all chose to wear a shade of purple. Were they trying to send a message of bipartisanship to the US? Seen on the White House Flickr. Photo by Pete Souza.

Surprise!

The First Lady made a surprise appearance on the White House tour on January 20, 2010, which marked the one-year anniversary of Obama's presidency.

I love her outfit here. I am in D.C. and can attest to the cold weather, but rather than a pantsuit she opted for a dressy coat and flat boots. Both stylish and weather appropriate.

While shopping for clothes to intern in, my friends and I kept saying "we want a Michelle suit, not a Hillary suit!" I love Hillary, but I prefer Michelle's method of dressing up. From the White House Flickr. Picture by Pete Souza.

Anniversary Dress

Michelle Obama looking dashing in black! I love the neckline of this dress and I love her up-do. Mrs. Obama wore this when she went out to dinner for her and Barack's 17th anniversary. So sweet!

Michelle Obama Speaking on Health Care!

Michelle Obama wore this FIERCE outfit when she spoke about health care on Friday, September 18. She said this:

"Women are disproportionately affected by this issue because of the roles that we play in families. And women are more likely to work part-time, or to work in small companies or businesses that don’t provide any insurance at all.”

She makes a great point and looks awesome in this white and black geometric skirt, green cardigan, and white blouse. Again, she is so great at picking an accent color and making it work!




Spotted on Just Jared.

Loving the Pop of Color!

This is from August, and I think the pops of turquoise are so cute and it is a good outfit choice for Sumemr. She has such a great sense of when to where what. She knows when to look dressy (like at Senator Kennedy's funeral), professional (like at Obama's health care speech), and casual (like when she was painting). I love Michelle's choice here to wear a comfortable but still very appropriately dressy outfit to meet with Justice Sotomayor.
