J.Crew Blues

The first family attended the annual National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C. this evening. For the occasion, Mrs. O dug deep into her closet, wearing a J.Crew blue tweed coat from January 2009, previously seen here. The first lady layered light trousers with a blue cardigan, an ivory scarf and a statement necklace. Joining in on the fun: Neil Patrick Harris and Rico Rodriguez!

Kennedy Center Honors

The 2012 Kennedy Center Honors are being held this evening, and for the occasion, the first lady has chosen a Michael Kors gold lamé chiffon encrusted shoulder gown from the designer's Resort 2013 collection paired with earrings by Moritz Glik. Can you say gorgeous?!

Christmas at the White House

The first lady, joined by Bo, debuted the White House holiday decorations today. Military families were invited to the East Room to decorate holiday treats. Yum!

For the festive occasion, Mrs. O wore a gold silk lurex Michael Kors suit, previously seen for in December 2009, here.

O Christmas Tree

The first lady, joined by her daughters, received the official White House Christmas tree, a 19-foot Fraser Fir from Jefferson, North Carolina on the North Portico of the White House yesterday. On the style front, Mrs. O paired a black cardigan (belted, naturally!) with a full, red floral skirt and tall black suede boots. Festive!

Giving Thanks

As has become Thanksgiving tradition, the Obama family volunteered at the Capitol Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C. yesterday. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a burgundy and blue argyle sweater under a leather baseball style jacket with constrast sleeves.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! x Mrs. T

P.S. There's a great quote from Anna Wintour on Mrs. O's style influnce, here.
