Between the White House Easter Egg Roll and multiple magazine covers, what a week for Mrs. O! Today the first lady visited the Pentagon, where she thanked military personnel and civilian employees at the Defense Department. Mrs. O was hosted by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and his wife Becky Gates, shown in the photo above.

For the appearance, Mrs. O wore a floral and ombre print dress, paired with a sunny, mustard yellow cardigan. We had a first peek at this dress when Mrs. O visited Miami last October, seen here. How great to discover the interesting change in pattern through the skirt!

The first lady hosted a town hall meeting on childhood obesity at the White House today, as part of an ongoing effort to support her "Let's Move" initiative.

Per Political Punch, "Mrs. Obama spent about an hour answering students’ questions that addressed the price of healthy food, what schools can do to educate students about healthy eating and living and the role that government can play in this effort."

On the style front, Mrs. O playfully mixed print and pattern, working with a palette of white, black and navy in her full skirt, floral camisole and lace print cardigan. More to follow.

Update #1: Mrs. O wears a lace cardigan by L'Wren Scott, paired with a Talbots blouse.

Update #2: Mrs. O's patchwork skirt is from the Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 2010 collection.

The first lady is on the cover of Good Housekeeping's May 125th anniversary issue, wearing a teal wrap dress, accessorized with a classic strand of pearls. The first lady's Garavelli diamond flower pin - a gift from the president - adds a touch of sparkle and personal sentiment. Lovely!

The first family hosted the annual White House Easter Egg Roll today, which also included performances by Sara Bareilles, Justin Bieber and the cast of the hit TV show "Glee." (Mrs. O can be seen enjoying a "Glee" performance in the first photo above.)

Per the Washington Post, the first lady kicked off the festivities with a few remarks:

"Today we have transformed the South Lawn into a playground. We're going to have 30,000 people in our back yard today, and we want every single one of you to have fun."

Mrs. O was projecting "fun" through her ensemble as well, wearing a floral print pink shirt paired with a fluorescent pink cardigan, white pants and silver sneakers.
