Lightening up the Mood with a bit of Superficiality can be a Good Thing!

So I just want to say that Michelle "O" is batting 500 on the Fashion Front since the Inauguration! :)

1. She always looks fabulous in blue

[FrenchieCat]

3. My favorites though are the ones with those great shirts......

and the lighter blue outfit on her day out to the Restaurant.

She's earning her fashion creds quite effortlessly!

21. i love that lighter blue outfit also, especially the coat, but Michelle looks beautiful in all

the photos, and just ravishing in the Kennedy center pic

2. My dear FrenchieCat!

She is just gorgeous! What a great sense of style, and timeless too...

Wow!

A great First Lady!

K&R

And let me hasten to add: As smart as she is beautiful!

4. She looks great!

and the DC mayor is kinda hot. ;-)

11. He is, isn't he? nt

[FrenchieCat]

14. A real honest to goodness Cutie Patootie! :)

[NYC_SKP]

5. OMG, at the Kennedy Center she looks...

stunning!

[FrenchieCat]

6. I wish I could have seen the whole outfit.

But what we do see is very nice......

[jhain]

7. Thanks, I needed that

lovely..just lovely......

no more Laura looking like a truck driver.

[AtomicKitten]

8. Tres elegante. n/t

[firedupdem]

9. My girl! She looks great!!! n/t

[roguevalley]

10. I would hate to be her. Imagine having to be fabulous every

minute of every day. She is so beautiful she could make a gunny sack look good but imagine the strain. I would love to see the size of her closet. GO, MICHELLE!

[Terran]

15. Yes, but you can tell that her make-up, at least, is minimal

when she's in non-formal settings, like in most of those pictured in the OP. I think it's pretty cool that she doesn't feel the need to look 'fabulous' like at Alvin Ailey all the time...says a lot about her and her self-confidence. Very different from Laura Bush, or, I imagine, Cindy McCain.

12. Wow, Frenchie! You don't mess around..

Even your "superficiality" isn't superficial. Those are fantastic pics of the First Lady and her outfits are dressed to kill!

I got this US mag still on the stands with Michelle and the girls looking ever so beautiful! Eight pages of stunning photos of the happy First Family:D

US magazine is part of the Rolling Stone Family that helped get the facts out during the primaries and the General..Love the publisher, Jann Werner, ..he's priceless.

[FrenchieCat]

13. I've got that issue.....

And yes, Bless Jann Werner's heart.

[Cha]

16. Yes, and I get every

issue of everything I see on the stands with the Obamas featured. I've always been interested in fascinating stories and this has it all.

[Clio the Leo]

17. I think she's finally figured out the importance of solid colors....

.... and how much better they do on TV.

(and LOL! at that pic of Sasha.)

But ultimately, I think we all take comfort in the knowledge Michelle understands that being a good mom, wife and First Lady have much much much more to do with how you ACT than how you LOOK.

And as for how she CARRIES herself and sets a good example for all of us, *I* would give her a big old...

[Ceela]

18. Those outfits!

I like all of those outfits. Very nice. :fistbump:

[calimary]

19. Good Lord, that 's a fabulous-looking woman.

So elegant and chic and tasteful and modern!

DANG! I think I'm loving her even more than I'm loving him! As an American woman, THAT is now MY face to the world. HERS is now MY face to the world. SHE is the one representing me to the world. laura bush didn't represent me at all. Nor could she ever hope to speak for me. And hers was NOT MY face to the world - could never be. Only now do I feel like I have proper - and legal - representation.

Sorry to break it to you, cindy mcsame. But I had very little about which to be proud of my country during the last eight years. And even before that, while your republi-CON friends were persecuting Bill Clinton for a frickin' blow job. Maybe you were proud of that, but I wasn't. Only NOW am I feeling a sense of pride again. And Michelle Obama is a BIG reason why.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Aye......!

Me too....I'm finally proud of this country again after a very long time. :)
