Voyage to Ireland

The Obamas traveled to Lough Erne, Northern Ireland where the president will attend the G-8 summit this week. Leaving the White House on Sunday evening, Mrs. O wore a Tracy Reese Combo Frock in Black and Parchment Gingham, previously seen here, paired with a cropped cardigan and structured ladylike black bag.

Landing in Northern Ireland this morning, Mrs. O had changed ensembles, debuting a Burberry trench coat. First up for the official events: the First Lady joined President Obama for a speech at Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Ireland. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a matte gold top paired with rust colored pants (seen earlier at Aldergrove International Airport). Layers of pearl and stone necklaces completed the look - a masterful neutral mix!

Later in the day, Mrs. O traveled with her daughters to Dublin, Ireland, where the family visited Trinity College, Old Library, reviewing archives that document the Obamas' Irish ancestry. For this appearance, Mrs. O updated her look by adding a printed, open vest from designer Lela Rose.

On Monday evening, Mrs. O viewed a special performance by the Riverdance company at the historic Gaiety Theatre, joined by Moya Doherty, co-founder of Riverdance, Fionnuala Kenny, the wife of the Taoiseach Enda Kenny, and Sabina Higgins, the wife of the President of Ireland, Michael Higgins. For this appearance, Mrs. O changed once more, wearing an Azalea Silk Crepe top and Navy Merino Wool blazer from Narciso Rodriguez, paired with black pants. Black pumps and earrings from Susan Hanover completed the look.

Boston Strong

The First Lady accompanied the President to Boston this week in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. For the somber occasion, Mrs. O wore a blue dress and coat, presumably both by Narciso Rodriguez. Mrs. O has worn the Narciso Rodriguez coat a few times before, first in May 2011, here. I believe this is the first time we have seen the dress to match. A belt at the waist and pin at the shoulder completed the look.

Mrs. O at Harper High

The First Lady met with students and counselors at Harper High School in Chicago, IL today in an effort to address youth violence in the city. Per the Office of the First Lady, "Harper High School is a Chicago public school that has been profoundly affected by violence – 29 current or former students have been shot in the past year; 8 of them died."

For such a serious occasion, Mrs. O opted for a more subdued look, wearing a clean-lined, blue silk shantung suit by Narciso Rodriguez, previously seen here.

Talk Show Chic

A few snaps from Mrs. O's recent and upcoming "Let's Move!" talk show appearances: on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts, and on The Dr. Oz Show with Dr. Oz.

Update #1: The multi print silk dress worn by the First Lady on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is a custom "Roselda" dress by Duro Olowu.

Update #2: Pictured with Robin Roberts, Mrs. O wears a custom Narciso Rodriguez dress from the designer's Spring 2013 collection. The red and black top in the botton image is also Narciso Rodriguez, from the designer's Spring 2012 collection.

Holiday O

This one slipped through the cracks! On Christmas day, the president and first lady visited military personnel at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a black and white Narciso Rodriguez dress, which first debuted in July 2009, here. Note the polish: neon toes added a pop of color!
