michelle_obama_in_yellow_blueflys_blog_flypaper_1.jpgIn less than two hours, America will welcome both its 44th President and its first African-American President. Yay! By his side, will be The First Lady, Michelle Obama, who will be wearing Isabel Toledo (note: a female, Cuban born designer) at the swearing in ceremony for Barack Obama. WWD, was unable to provide any further details as to exactly what the items will be. I'm thinking she will go with a simple sheath dress and form fitting coat.

Just in: Michelle is actually wearing a skirt and jacket set, in a gold tone with a brocade pattern, by Toledo.

It was super UGLY! I did no think she photographs well at all!! I love the fact that she chose a Cuban designer, but she did not pull it off!!

Hmmm I have mixed feelings about it. I liked it, but maybe it should have been done in two tones or with less glitter. I did like the olive green accessories

Erin how do you look? Are you tall & slender? Do you wear designer outfits? Is anyone interested in what you wear? Has anyone ever told you that you have impeccable taste?

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
