Mixed Blues Mrs. O

The First Lady hosted an event about food marketing to children in the State Dining Room of the White House last Wednesday. For the event, Mrs. O wore a navy blue and turquoise tweed dress with inverted pleats at the neckline and an embellished stone belt.

Update: Mrs. O wears a custom blue multi tweed sheath dress from Jason Wu.

This Week in Mrs. O

September 12: The First Lady, joined by actress Eva Longoria, visited Watertown High School in Watertown, Wisconsin as part of the Drink Up initiative to encourage people to drink more water. For the event, Mrs. O wore a blue tie-dye Jasmyn dress from Tory Burch, previously available here and here. From the Tory Burch website: "the jacquard-based fabric is hand-dyed by women artisans from the Kindia region of Guinea (in collaboration with the There Is No Limit Foundation) using century-old techniques that make each style truly one-of-a-kind."

September 11: The President and First Lady were joined by Vice President and Dr. Biden for a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House on the 12th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

For the appearance, Mrs. O wore a purple sheath dress that recalls the classic, clean lines of Maria Pinto's aesthestic. The designer is unconfirmed, but vintage Maria Pinto would be my guess! The First Lady wore a similar dress for her recent interview in Parade magazine, here.

Later on Wednesday, Mrs. O visited the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, VA. For the visit, Mrs. O wore a Jason Wu custom teal linen and silk double bow sheath dress, first seen in July 2009, here.

Have a splendid weekend!

As part of the trip, Mrs. O visited Sterling Farms Grocery Store in Marrero, Louisiana, seen above, which opened this past year as part of the "Alliance For A Healthier Generation."

Dots on Repeat

The First Lady attended the presentation of the 5,000th "Daily Point of Light" award for volunteer service in the East Room of the White House. For the event, Mrs. O wore a Jason Wu dotted ensemble previously seen in 2010 here and 2012 here, paired with a black patent leather belt and red drop earrings.

Bush Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania earlier today. Later, Mrs. O was escorted by Tanzanian First Lady Salma Kikwete at the airport.
