OK. Recently someone said that Michelle Obama needs to start dressing like a First Lady, because her style is too casual.
I disagree, I think her style is refreshing, but hopefully those of you underwhelmed with her style choices, will agree that this purple Isaac Mizrahi Pre-Fall 2009 sheath and coat, will be more in tune with what a ‘First Lady’ should wear.
Michelle glowed as she was on hand to cut the ribbon, at the reopening of the entrance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Wing yesterday.
I think this one will go into her Top 10 looks of the year.

This colour looks amazing on her. Beautiful!
As Terry said, the colour is insane!
Gosh, I LOVE it!
What I do not love is the shape. It makes her bulkier than she could be.
LOVE this! And I totally agree about the “refreshing” comment. Though this suit is lovely, it doesn’t have to be the only option for a woman in politics.
Color = perfect.
Overall look = took me TOO literally when i said “dress more like the First Lady”. Honestly, I could see this same outfit on Laura Bush. Michelle needs to find some middle ground.
The likes of Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan has made Americans think that first ladies must dress like spinsters. So when Mrs. Obama comes along, dressing like the powerful, beautiful, youthful woman that she is, people don’t get it. Such a shame, because what I love most about her is that she has fun, and doesn’t really give a crap about how a “first lady” is “supposed” to dress.
