Serving in Style

Supporting military families has long been a cause close to Mrs. O's heart. As part of National Service Day and the Renew America Together initiative, our soon-to-be First Lady volunteered at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial stadium today to assemble packages for U.S. military personnel serving overseas. Voice of America reports that more than 75,000 kits containing food and personal items for soldiers were assembled.
For the occasion, Mrs. O was tastefully dressed in a medley of complementary shades of blue. A teal cardigan was worn atop a powder blue shell, while a royal blue patent leather belted cinched the waist. Mrs. O paired her layered tops with gray pinstripe trousers, lending the ensemble an easy going polish. Diamond stud earrings added just a touch of sparkle. Bravo Mrs. O, for an effort that was truly stylish through and through.

And here is a close-up of her make-up which was all shades of bronze and looked flawless. http://i41.tinypic.com/wt7eiu.jpg
Impeccable. As always.
Same belt?

I have that belt I got it for 8 dollars (on sale) at a boutique.
Wow Mrs T - your posts are flowing in tonight !
I can barely keep up - I love it !
wow! I love that eye make up she has on now! Brightens her eyes. This is way nicer than that powdered look she used to have in some of those earlier photos.
Jenna, thanks for posting that. You're right, the makeup is on point.
Mrs T - Thank you for this wonderful post. It keeps me updated without having to search sites! All of you guys are great.
I love how she thought to use the belt over a regular cardigan. I never see stuff like that!

This color really suites her.
What the brand of this belt? I would like one;-)
I like what she is wearing under the cardigan. It looks like two shirts. But, by far this is my favorite outfit by our First Lady :)
