My apologies for only getting these images to you now. I was attending a conference late last week and am visiting family for the holidays, so I haven’t had the time to keep as up to date with this blog as I would like.
This is the first in a series of posts on the First Lady’s trip to Oslo, Norway. As you likely already know, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize a few months ago. Consequently, the President and First Lady traveled to Oslo, Norway to participate in the Nobel festivities.
Here we see the President and First Lady leaving the White House for Andrews Air Force Base. The First Lady is looking good in her black peacoat and red scarf. Of course, as good as they look, neither of them look too happy. I’m not sure what the story is here…
First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the media for a preview of the White House holiday decorations. “Reflect, Rejoice and Renew” is the theme for the season. In her speech, the First Lady said that
for the Obama family, Christmas and the New Year has always been a time to reflect on our many blessings, to rejoice in the pleasure of spending time with our family and our friends, and to renew our commitment to one another and to the causes that we believe in. And I wanted to continue that part of the tradition during our first holiday season here at the White House.
Also of note in Mrs. Obama’s speech is her announcement that this holiday season, the White House is supporting the Toys for Tots program with a toy drive. Toys for Tots is a program associated with the US Marine Corps Reserves that distributes toys to needy children.
For the event, Mrs. Obama chose a teal silk matelasse dress by Michael Kors, pairing it with matching drop earrings and placing her hair in a chignon. (Hat tip to Mrs. O for the style info.)
Last week the President and First Lady held an event at the White House to get kids excited about space. The First Lady looks stylish in a blue Zero + Maria Cornejo jacket with half-length sleeves and tan pants.
The First Lady returned from Copenhagen yesterday after lobbying for Chicago’s in the race for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. While the city may not have come out on top, the First Lady’s fashion certainly did. Here we see Michelle in a beautiful knee-length black and white checkered dress with a high neckline and cinched at the waist. with a black belt. Below are a couple more photos of the First Lady in this great dress.
