Feeling Dotty

The First Lady was in Chicago yesterday to attend campaign fundraisers as well as a bill signing with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. The latter will allow military personnel to more easily transfer their professional licenses to Illinois. For the appearance with Governor Quinn, Mrs. O wore a Jason Wu dotted ensemble, previously seen here in 2010. Dots are nothing new to Mrs. O's wardrobe (see here and here and here), but they're certainly on trend for summer 2012. Lovely!

Blue Belle

The President and First Lady hosted a dinner for members of the US armed forces who served in Iraq and Afghanistan at the White House last evening. Mrs. O wore a floor length blue gown by Jason Wu and earrings by Suzanna Dai, available at Fragments. Gorgeous!

Business Chic

The First Lady appeared in Tampa, Florida today to help announce a commitment by Goya Foods to put resources behind the USDA MyPlate (or MiPlato in Spanish) food group symbol. The company is creating various materials such as brochures, posters, coupons and cookbooks for consumers, developing educations tools for elementary school children, and imprinting the MiPlato icon on some Goya Foods products. 

For the event, Mrs. O kept her look business chic, wearing a sleeveless black dress with exposed seam detailing.

Update: Mrs. O wears a dress by Jason Wu, confirmed via tweet.

The First Lady debuted the White House holiday decorations today. For the occasion, Mrs. O paired a black dress with a metallic collared shirt and polka dot stockings. A diamond flower pin completed the look. Fabulous!

Update: As several have observed in the comments, Caroline Kennedy wears an Alexander McQueen Slashed Sleeve Military Knit Pencil Dress, available here. The First Lady wears a two-tone pink dress by Jason Wu, which appears to be the same dress that Mrs. O wore on the cover of Vogue in March 2009, here.
