Sunny in the Buckeye State

The first lady spoke at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio today. For the appearance, Mrs. O wore a sunny, embellished L'Wren Scott cardigan (previously seen in March, here) paired with pinstripe grey trousers. Love the optimistic hue! A Miriam Haskell crystal and pearl necklace completed the look.

Any style predictions for the debate tomorrow night?

Ladylike in L'Wren Scott

The President and First Lady traveled to Fort Stewart in Hinesville, Georgia today where they met with military service members. For the occasion, Mrs. O paired a full-skirted red dress with an embroidered L'Wren Scott cardigan. (Mrs. O is on a L'Wren Scott kick this week!) A structured black bag and red flats completed the look.

Update:  The First Lady also wears a crimson double face stretch wool crepe square neck flare dress by Michael Kors, from the designer's Pre-Fall 2012 collection.

Pretty as a Peach

The First Lady hosted an event for children in the East Room of the White House today as part of "Bring Your Children to Work Day". For the occasion, Mrs. O debuted a gingham houndstooth pleated skirt paired with a L'Wren Scott embroidered peach cardigan. Lovely!
