8 years of fashion

“Your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.”

                                                              --Michelle Obama

 

With the presidential election being only weeks away, I want to take this time to pay homage to the first African-American First Lady Michelle Obama.

 

First Lady Obama gained the fashionista’s vote with her style.  She is not your typical First Lady to grace her presence in the White House wearing pants suits, blouses and skirts.  First Lady Michelle likes to switch things up a bit with her fabric choices, colors and prints.  Wearing designers such as Brandon Maxwell, Naeem Kham, Christian Siriano (my Project Runway favorite), Gucci and more.  One of my personal favorites is when First Lady Obama graced everyone at the White House Correspondent’s dinner wearing a champagne colored sleek, body-hugging dress and a crystal-embellished sheath layered on top, all from Givenchy couture.  She was glammed from head-to-toe if you ask me!

 

This blog could go on and on about First Lady Michelle Obama and the 8 years of fashion that she has been serving us. Not only is she intelligent, elegant, a role model but she is also a fashion icon.  Fashion has not graced the White House since former First Lady Jackie O. in the 1960s.

  

First Lady Michelle Obama said, “If I can have any impact, I want women to feel good about themselves and have fun with fashion.”
