First Lady Mrs. O was at Camden Yards in Baltimore today to promote her 'Let's Move' initiative, joined by the local Boys and Girls Club of America and the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program. For the sporting event, Mrs. O wore white pants - one of the first lady's summer staples it seems - with a blue printed top and sneakers.
We first saw this top last fall when Mrs. O shopped at a local Washington, D.C. farmer's market, here. Does anyone know the designer?
Update: Mrs. O was back at Camden Yards in Baltimore last night - and wearing an Orioles jersey - as the Baltimore Orioles took on the Tampa Bay Rays.

I believe that top is by Suno.
MRS OBAMA LOOKED NICE AS ALWAYS.
I love it makes me want to add some new things to my wardrobe. Love her chucks.
She has worn this top at least four times that i know. I really admire the fact that she never watches from the sidelines. She is always involved in all the activities and i hope children as well as adults take a page out of her book.The top could be a Moschino, a DVF or any of her favorites designers who do prints but i really don't have any ideas.
Mrs.T(B) can we please have that let's move video where the First Lady is wearing yellow?
Agree with Charlene. Looks like Suno New York, though not shown in 2009 - earlier or perhaps custom?
This top is by Suno. If you go on www.instyle.com and enter Suno in the search engine, they will pull up the captions with the stories our Michelle when she wore this. She also wore this last year when she was with Maria Shriver, First Lady of California, to roll out another Let's Move proram. Also, style.com has their runway show from last year with the model wearing this top with an extraordinary skirt. Really fashionable pieces!
As for our Michelle, she looks fantastic even while actively participating in sporting events. I think it's because she genuinely enjoys exercising and she reaps the benefits of being active. She's stated that it makes her happy and better able to care for her family. It's inspirational to say the least.
Very cute, summery and fun!
Welcome back Mrs. T!!
Love it and love her. The hardest working chick in the game !!!
Robin Givhan of the Washington Post has penned a suprisingly upbeat article about Mrs. O and her influence on the national art scene. It is a "must-read."
I need to know how you remember all these ensembles, Mrs. T! :-) (Edited to add: and Chrystelle!) I thought I had a pretty good memory but I didn't remember that top at all.
I think I need some crisp white pants to add to the wardrobe. I"ve tried this before, though, and all the pants I tried on were really see-through, even the ones that came with a lining. It was frustrating. Maybe there are better styles out now.
@Christina. she wore it underneath a thakoon jacket while discussing "the childhood obesity task force report". returning from camp david she paired with a cardi and skinny jeans.

New Mrs.O video.

@Charlène, the Suno top she wore when she was with Maria shriver looks starkly different than this one.
The First Lady is currently speaking.She is looking mighty fine and it looks like she is wearing a Isabel Toledo.Her tunic reminded of the Isabel black one she wore at a fundraiser during the 2008 campaign.
But what is really standing out is her accessories. the cuff she is wearing is the business.I think Tim Gunn is also in attendance.He is setting next to Mrs.O
This is a great top, I really like it. And from an outsider's perspective, I gotta tell you - there is nothing more quintessentially American than this photo!
@posh tater .... I agree about the photo, the only thing missing is an American Flag
@ regular bloggers in general (christina,chrystelle,charlene, ashley, etc)... I'm really impressed how you can remember all the outfits, various tops, belts, pins, earrings that have been previously worn by our fabulous First Lady. Those who remember the events where the items were worn are even more impressive.
Just curious if you are this way with your own clothing collection ? When you look through your closet, can you remember the last time you wore items and where?
The first one!
video of Mrs.O today event. no pics available. what a letdown those photographers are.

This video is HD quality and she looks great. The article says the pink ensemble she is wearing is Isabel Toledo.
Bummer.i really did guess right when i say her today outfit is an Isabel Toledo. Mrs.T(B) will have to rely on the video so you guys can catch a glimpse of her outfit when she stepped behind the lectern
here is the black version for people who want to see how the outfit looks like

@ River rush, You'd better believe it. I can tell what clothes I wore on what occassion. Where I'm having a little memory problem is with accessories. Since being inspired by FLOTUS, I find that I interchange my accessories more now than before. I've always admired and envied how women would take bold steps with styling their wardrobes. I used to play it safe, but not now. And it's a given, not all of my choices are hits. I've had some misses that left me scratching my head and laughing out loud at myself. It's only fashion, no harm no foul. Everyone gets to live another day!
Thanks Chrystelle for the video link. That fabulous Beamon brooch has taken the Toledo dress to a whole new level of the wow factor!!
I am an accessories addict. A simple dress with any of the right accessories (earrings, bracelets, brooch, shoes and purse) unstoppable.
chrystelle.....thanks for all the video links. I have had time today to watch them and appreciate it!
I'm also amazed by the ability that some of you have to remember so many details of what and whom MO has worn over the years. I see pieces that look familiar to me but couldn't tell you where I've seen them before. Kudos to you all with the minds for detail!
The thing I love most about our FLOTUS is her ability to have fun, and I can only imagine that she makes the people around her feel fabulously special and cared for. So no matter what she wears, she is always truly beautiful. I agree with Posh that this is a very American look, but unfortunately I also share Christina's experience in trying to find white pants that are not see-through.
Sorry for my bad language but -
You're a very so nice and beauty First Lady and I wish you and to your family, lot of goodness, love and prosperity.
Love and kisses from France.
Nathalie.
