A Fashion Message from Michelle Obama


Although I am still undecided about Michelle Obama's Inauguration outfits, my opinion greatly improved when watching the Today Show yesterday morning.  The Today Show interviewed the designers of both outfits, Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu, and I have to admit, I was inspired.  Both designers have budding careers which were immediately thrust into history when Michelle stepped out in their creative designs. Toledo and Wu, beamed on TV and gushed that seeing Michelle Obama wearing their label was a realization of the American Dream.  Kudos to the First Lady for choosing American designers who represent the achievement of dreams, and she did it in style.  

Furthermore, I must add, I was impressed to learn that Mrs. Obama wore J.Crew gloves and shoes.  What plays in the back of my mind is, "I'm every woman."

I'm looking forward to witnessing this presidential term for its fashion, adorable children, and the realization of that already overused word, "hope."
