January 20th was a big day for all Americans. It was an even bigger day to fashionistas waiting to see what our new first lady, Michelle Obama, would wear for her day of inaugural activities.
Mrs. Obama started out the day in a gorgeous Isabelle Toledo dress and coat combination. I loved this outfit for many reasons. First off I thought it was a wonderful choice of color. Its fresh and really looked beautiful against her skin. I also just love the fact that she chose Isabelle Toledo, a Cuban American designer. Fairly unknown to most of America, Isabelle is very well known in the fashion world and has been around for twenty five years.
For the evening events Mrs.Obama chose another fairly unknown designer Jason Wu. While I thought this dress was pretty, I wasn't amazed by it and expected more.
It will be interesting to see what the next four years brings in terms of outfits and how her sense of style will grow in the public eye.
I like the second dress better than the first, but actually neither are very flattering on her. (The colors are nice, but the shapes don't accentuate her body in a nice way.)
