Striped in Bordeaux and Black
Monday, September 29, 2008 at 10:53 AM Mrs. O is officially into her Fall palette, wearing a striped dress in bordeaux, black, grey and white this weekend. She paired the look with the black patent leather belt worn earlier in the week. We feel almost certain that Narciso Rodriguez (Update: the dress is H&M! More to follow) is the designer behind this look. The cut and pattern of the dress bears striking resemblance to another Narciso Rodriguez dress that Mrs. O wore in April, below.

such strong accessorising, I'm loving the use of the same belt in different color way as she wore before
So chic, love the striped skirt. She always nails the fabric choice - any other material would have been tacky.
Great dress, Mrs O always looks amazing in those rich purple and plum colours. H&M you say? Wow, so you don't have to spend $50,000 to look good after all...
the skirt is H&M too. sold right next to the dress.
She does look great.
Dear Fashionism, I'm assuming your comment about Mrs. O's skirt is in regards to the image from April 8. The first dress was actually Narciso Rodriguez, as seen here:

[...] We’ve seen Mrs. O in Narciso Rodriguez before, but this particular frock is a fresh, feminine spin on the designer’s often minimalistic aesthetic. And this time, we’re almost certain we’re not being dupped for a H&M doppleganger. [...]

SO much more elegant than the Mrs.(Barbie)MC.
Let Michelle Obama be herself. Thank you.
The way she carries herself is a reflection of what she has inside... Self confidence, simplicity, and sensibility. I congratulate her and let's hope she (and the girls)graces us with with her sense style for the next 8 years.
your dress is sooo cool.. who designs your dresses b/c they are very pretty!
