A Little Politics…Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Gown!

The soft ivory gown worn by Michelle Obama to the 10 inaugural balls was artistic and sophisticated. The one shoulder goddess silhouette was a great selection for her physique. You’ve got to admit that our new first lady is in great shape and has the toned arms that can carry off this look! The glam gown was bedazzled in sequins and fluffy appliqués on chiffon. The curious fluffy appliqués are both amusing and very unexpected. She a serious woman, but her gown shows us she is also a fresh and fun fashionista!

If you love Michelle’s look you can get your own goddess gown for less at http://www.edressme.com/012209.html. Or you can see the real one of a kind dress by designer, Jason Wu, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History this summer.

If Michelle left you disappointed…I will have to argue with you that her dress is still way better than Laura Bush in 2001!

What do you think about Michelle Obama’s look for the inaugural balls?

First Lady

Soon America will have a new first lady, and every detail of her life will be under scrutiny, from what she eats to what she wears - like that hideous Narciso Rodriguez dress she wore on election night. I don't know what I hated more - the dress or how she wore it. However, in my eyes, this was her only fashion faux-pas.

Anyway, Michelle Obama is this generation’s Jackie O – an every day woman and mom. She’s fashion forward and fashion conscious, and she’s not shy to speak about her frugal fashions finds. In the media, she's mentioned that she wears clothes from Gap and J Crew, and she's even been spotted shopping at Target.

OK! Magazine ran a story on Michelle Obama in their November 24th issue. I was excited to see that the editors of OK! recommended one of metrostyle's short skirt suits to match Michelle Obama's look! Now you can look like a first lady too!

Ladies In Waiting

With the election just a day away, can’t imagine the kind of pressures that Cindy or Michelle have endured all these months. And the big question….will their husband be president, will they become 1st lady? The eyes of the nation have been on the candidates and their wives, scrutinizing their every word, deed, and even their sense of style, what they were wearing.

Don’t know about you but I panic just deciding on the right thing to wear to work each day. Sorry ladies, but we can be catty critics at times. ‘Did you see what she was wearing’ or ‘what was she thinking’ and “she obviously doesn’t own a mirror”. Come on, admit it. We’ve all been there, done that. Talk about some major anxiety!

So , trying to imagine one of those lovely ladies is me, I prepare my hair, makeup, wardrobe all by myself (okay, so they probably have a stylist helping them). I have several last minute campaign obligations and need to present myself in a confident, but approachable way. With a last minute TV appearance and campaign luncheon to attend I know I have just the right outfits to pull off any event. This morning I am a guest on The Today Show and will wear a soft cardigan with pashmina scarf and pair that off with leather jeans.

Then I make a mad dash to the airport to catch a flight to Virginia for a luncheon. I am confident that I will look fabulous in a jacquard skirtsuit. I think the ladies will approve.

And, after a long day of campaign stomping, I am heading home and spend time with my family. Wearing a velour pantset and my favorite velvet ballerinas, I am ready for bedtime stories and pizza with the kids!

Am anxiously awaiting the voting results tomorrow night, and making that final decision on what to wear to the ball!!!
