Michelle Obama: This Week In Fashion

First lady Michelle Obama has had quite a fashionable week.

She's been spotted in an array if beautiful ensembles from a slew of high fashion runway designers including Michael Kors (the official White House portrait released today) Jason Wu, (sparkling, strapless gown she wore to the Governor's Ball - I wish I was there with Earth Wind and Fire performing) Alexander McQueen, (a chalky pinstriped pantsuit.) Tracy Reese, (the beautiful pink lace dress on the cover of People.) Narciso Rodriguez, (purple sheath she wore to Barack Obama's Tuesday night speech.) And possibly Kai Milla (Milla is musician, Stevie Wonder's wife; Mrs. Obama reportedly wore the dress to the Stevie Wonder concert.)

I wonder what she'll wear on her reported upcoming cover of Oprah!

Personally, I think the first lady has  looked fabulous at every event.  She hasn't missed a step. Her use of color has been electrifying as she's steered clear of all things staid and boring. Michelle Obama is no fashion slob!

That's why I can't understand why people are making such a big deal over the fact that Mrs. Obama likes to show off her arms. I say bring on spring. Mrs. Obama's arms are beautifully toned. (She works out every day with hubby, Barack.) And she's age appropriate. I think that Mrs. Obama is wearing clothes that some of you out there wouldn't dare wear because you can't and its eating your crock,  driving you nuts, making your crazy. Mrs. Obama likes to shake it up. Some days she wears her hair up. Sometimes she wears it curly. Sometimes she wears her coif down. She's just as comfortable in pants as she is a dress. Here is a woman we can't put in a fashion box and it's driving us crazy. Her day-to-day looks are unexpected. Let it go people and enjoy the fashion surprises. I sure am.
