First Lady Mrs. O visited the Department of Energy today, hosting a practice session for young people participating in the National Science Bowl.

We are loving Mrs. O's black and white Moschino jacket with Chanel-inspired lines and painted accents. A black and silver diamante bow pin, seen here, accessorizes Mrs. O's left faux pocket. What a timely choice considering the Washington Post ran an article by Robin Givhan on Mrs. O's favor for Moschino just this morning.

The Moschino brush stroke wool-blend jacket is available on Net-A-Porter, here (thanks Posh, Ari and jestina).

Must See: Isabel Toledo

Today is shaping up to be a treat! The first couple of fashion, Isabel and Ruben Toledo, were in Washington last night to show Isabel Toledo's spring collection at the home of the Swiss Ambassador Urs Ziswiler.

You must check out the video above that accompanies this article from Kiki Ryan of Politico. Ms. Ryan even got the scoop on another Isabel Toledo creation we need to be looking for:

One dress in Obama’s possession is a pleated jersey number with some real swing. "It's very Marilyn Monroe," Toledo said. "It's beautiful, it's got a beautiful flow.”

Must Read: Mrs. O's Moschino

Click here for today's Washington Post article, which includes an interview with designer Rossella Jardini. Both Rossella Jardini and Robin Givhan were interviewed for Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy, so we found it of particular interest to hear their combined perspectives on our favorite subject - Mrs. O's style.

From the article: "It's a bit difficult to handle the situation because you don't want to push it," Jardini says. "That would seem indelicate."

President and First Lady O are hosting an event to celebrate classical music in the East Room of the White House this evening. We love the flattering sweetheart neckline on Mrs. O's white sheath, and the "acres of gold bangles" add just the right touch of glimmer.

Update: The fabulous Danielle Datu, an Assistant Editor for mystyle, has pointed us to this double face wool sheath dress from Talbots. And indeed, we've confirmed with Talbots that it's their design.
