First lady Michelle Obama applauds during an event to kick off a White House leadership and mentoring initiative in the State Dining Room at the White House November 2, 2009 in Washington, DC. The program provides local high school students the opportunity to discuss career paths with members of the White House staff, including White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, White House Domestic Policy Adviser Melody Barnes and others.
The Net is all abuzz about the outfit Mrs. Obama wore here while leaving Westminster Abbey in Central London earlier this week. There’s a lot going on: florals, polka dots, lots of color and texture combos. Some folks seem to think it is too much. The verdict is still out on the designer(s) of this ensemble but the belt is reportedly by Sonia Rykiel.
.S. first lady Michelle Obama taps the shoulder of a child as she leaves the ‘Take Your Child to Work Day’ event at the East Room of the White House April 23, 2009 in Washington, DC. The first lady hosted the children of Executive Office employees and answered questions from the audience.
The First Lady has hit the ground running. I mean if she’s not at a school talking to a group of kids, then she is hanging out with world leaders or gardening or inviting regular folks to the White House. Did you get your invitation? On Tuesday, April 28, for the historic unveiling of the Sojourner Truth bust in the Capitol Building with the First Lady, sits Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on one side of Mrs. Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on the other.
