Hello, everyone! I'm here for a Style Injections update, one that is terribly late due to an overload in school and sports. Sorry! :(
Yesterday, as every person in this country (and world) should know, was President Barack Obama's Inauguration. Many reporters have been speculating on what his wife and current-First Lady, Michelle, would wear ... and she did not disappoint! Her confidence in bold ensembles by up-and-coming designers is truly establishing Mrs. Obama as a chic icon and inspiration.
For the swearing-in ceremony Tuesday morning and afternoon, the First Lady chose a cremy yellow dress by Cuban designer Isabel Toledo. The glamorous dress and matching overcoat were made of satin-backed wool guipure, a kind of lace used most often in French haute couture. She accessorized the look with a sparkling crystal necklace and green leather gloves and shoes. The yellow symbolizes optimism for the new times and era her husband will bring!
For the Inaugural balls that evening, Obama chose a beautiful white gown by Taipaei-born designer Jason Wu. It was bedazzled by swarvoski crystals and inspired by the 1950's elegance and romance. The white is speculated to mean a pure beginning, almost a rebirth for the country.
What do you all think of Michelle Obama's ensembles? I was thrilled yesterday to witness a pivotal moment in history. I'm faithful in what President Obama can do for the United States. Have a great week!

Oh Nicole,
What a beautiful day! I loved The First Lady's dress and the Obama girls looked so cute!
Wink...Posh
I loved her dresses! The first one was a bit confusing, though. At first it looked yellow, then in certain light it looked green. Weird. I adore the white dress. It's so beautiful!
