In March Michelle, Barack, Sasha, Malia, and Grandma Marian Robinson took a trip to El Salvador.
As you'll see below, the First Lady's wardrobe choices on the trip were excellent, even by her always high standards.
The standout garment choice was a white and gold L'Wren Scott. In fact, you voted it as your favorite piece of the First Lady's formal evening gowns in our recent poll. Almost unbelievably, it received nearly half of all votes cast. Talk about a runaway winner!

First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the National Science Foundation's (NSF) launch of the new Career-Life Balance initiative at the White House on September 26, 2011. She lauded the National Science Foundation for their efforts to enable men and women to have a work-life balance.
If we’re going to out-innovate and out-educate the rest of the world, then we have to open doors to everyone. We need all hands on deck. And that means clearing hurdles for women and girls as they navigate careers in science, technology, engineering and math.”
The First Lady wore a simple, white, button-up blouse, but she looked amazing, her natural radiance shining through.

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.

Unfortunately, I don’t yet have any photos of Michelle in Copenhagen to post. However, I was able to find a video of her arrival. As you can see, the First Lady is wearing a patterned jacket with matching dress underneath. The design of the jacket/dress combination creates an interesting effect, as they are nearly identical, except that the jacket’s pattern uses circles and the dress’ pattern uses squares. The jacket is drawn in at the waist by a black belt tied in a bow and the entire ensemble is complimented by silver heels and simple stud earrings.
While the First Lady certainly looks nice, this isn’t my favorite combination on her. Mrs. Obama is a very sleek looking woman, and I find the patterns to be a bit too busy.
I’ll follow up with photos when I can get my hands on some, but in the meantime, you can also watch the short statement that the First Lady gave to the press after arriving.
What an ensemble! A white three-quarter sleeve jacket with silver belt and flats leave the First Lady looking lovely as ever.
