michelle obama in tracy feithCan you imagine dancing into the wee hours of the morning -- under the watchful of armchair fashion police everywhere -- only to come home to (of all things) a slumber party in a brand new house?tracy feith I'd want to stay home caffeine-loading in my pjs but that's not an option for the First Lady who had one last event for the inauguration: the National Prayer Service. All things considered -- the late hours, the chaos of moving a young family into a new home -- I'd say that the oriental-print dress was a good choice. I really like Michelle in this silhouette (fitted on top, full skirt). And the black patent flats? Perfect after hours on the dance floor. The dress is designed by another not-so-famous designer -- Tracy Feith -- who is a surfer-turned designer (he's the one in the picture, left, with the beard.) Love Tracy Feith's bright colors and prints? Your local Target may have them come May when his Go International collection goes on sale. (Photo Credit: (left) Martin H.

Jackie Kennedy she isn’t. Needs help learning to walk and needs much help with clothes and posture.
The yellow outfit, the coat needed lining in the same material. The white gown was ugly and didn’t fit her figure at all.

I think that First Lady Obama is a very intelligent and classy lady. She has a good eye for clothes and what things looks good on her and it’s important that SHE feels good about what she is wearing. I feel that she should be noted, more importantly than her wardrobe, on the fact that she is is good mother and she supports her husband. He (President Obama)has commented himself that she can do what he does only in heels and backwards. I like all of her choices of clothes, but most of all, I admire her as a lady.

I think Michelle has wonderful taste in clothes and I’m so happy to see her dressed in classy and feminine clothes as our First Lady! It’s so refreshing!

I think Karol was a bit harsh. When was the last time you saw a woman that tall with perfect posture? Mind you, she’s not a glassy eyed Stepford wife either! In addition, how often do you see clothes lined in the same material as the outer garment? Regarding the gown, I was hoping that she had worn something in a jewel tone, but by no means was the dress ugly.

Yes, Karol was a bit harsh. She would have froze if the dress was lined in the same fabric. Ms. Toledo’s chose of a cashmere was appropriate to keep her warm. Lining the dress in self fabric was not an option because of the cold and because we would have seen her skin, underwear etc.
