Over the weekend the new First Couple is seen on Michigan Avenue in Chicago after dinner at Spiaggia. The daily fashion and wardrobe choices by Michelle Obama, described here as "wearing an elegant black knee-length jacket and tall black boots", has inspired a website. Mrs-O.org is dedicated to taking "a regular look at what and who she's wearing" and encourages enthusiasm for "the budding style icon, Mrs O."
Michelle Obama's Tuesday night victory dress, the black and neon-red dress from Narciso Rodriguez's spring 2009 ready-to-wear collection, has pretty much been derided by critics and the public. But there was no denying the patriotic red bursting out of black like a firecracker out of the night sky was major fashion statement," Reuters notes. "You either loved it or hated it, but you couldn't ignore it."

Our new First Lady will give many of us "regular" woman something to aspire to. Not just in her dress but in her classy feminine style. I'll be watching with a proud smile on my face.
They are also such a cool couple. Being single I now have a new HIGHER standard to seek.
btw...I read you daily I just don't comment as much as I should. I'm working on that *wink*
