Everyday Alexander McQueen

                                                                                                       
Just when I thought I had seen all the amazing dresses I ever could on Michelle Obama, she pulls out an Alexander McQueen masterpiece for the state dinner she and the President were hosting Wednesday night in honor of Chinese President Hu Jintao.

Just think about it...Alexander McQueen on a First Lady? He of the armadillo shoe and Lady Gaga
ensembles. So I looked online for a McQueen frock that has an everyday appeal and found this little gem from the McQ line.

Mrs. Obama's Sheath Dress

I love a woman who isn't afraid of color! Our first lady is fearless when it comes to color in her wardrobe. When I think of her, three words come to mind...bright sheath dress!

 

I love her floral sheath dresses and it took some time to find one for myself. I finally did. This is a Jones New York sheath for petites. I like that it fits both my bust and hip areas! A major obstacle when I look for sheaths which is why I don't wear this shape often, even though I love the look. 

Now, I just have to wait for spring. I told my husband this a good look for a garden party, Easter or if I get invited to the White House. Whichever comes first. But the woman in the dressing room said "That dress is a keeper, wear it with black tights now!" So that's what I'll do for now.
