Effortlessly Chic

Just look here and here. The swing of the wool coat, the bracelet length sleeve, the peek of delicate fabric at the hem, the oversized clutch. Mrs. O, you are simply breathtaking.
Update: Another gorgeous photo from the Chicago Tribune; plus a bit of investigative work on Mrs. O's knee high boots - Stuart Weitzman perhaps?
Date: November 8, 2008
Venue:Dinner with President-elect Mr. O at Chicago restaurant Spiaggia

wow wow WOW
They both look chic, sleek and modern.
When was the last time we had a young glamorous first couple in the WH ?
Not in my lifetime.
They are SO exciting! RJT - I'm glad we share the same sentiments.
Michelle Obama is a truely beautiful woman. She has it all to wear lovely clothes. I hope she will wear a gown gathered to one shoulder in a bold blue or forest green. She is so beaufitul I wish she would stand tall and not slump over. She should not hesitate to wear heels and put her shoulders back and be proud of herself. Just love her!!
FAB-0-LOUS!! You make us proud Mrs. O.
WONDERFUL CLOTHING SUCH GREAT STYLE It's about time someone dressed NOT to look as if they're in mourning at the White House!
Does anyone know where Mrs O got the coat?
The last time we had a glamorous couple in the White House was in my lifetime. Well, I was just a tot, but even then I knew JFk and Jackie had style. It's almost as if the Obamas' outward appearance of calm, cool sophistication is a manifestation of their inner beauty. Am I gushing too much? Then I'll just say I adore the Spiaggia photos. Thanks so much for this very fun blog.
