Happy Weekend

Well, apparently this little number is indeed flying off the racks. A salesperson at H&M in Soho informed me that people have been buying the "Michelle Obama dress" non-stop since yesterday afternoon. I managed to grab the last dress at the location on Broadway just below Spring. It is a size 6, and is destined for one of you, dear readers. A little Valentine from me to you!
Please leave a comment on this post by Monday, February 14, 9PM EST if you would like a chance to win the dress. I will then select the lucky recipient using random.org and mail it to you. xo
Update: Random.org has turned up comment #55, reader Yvonne. Hooray! Thank you all for the comments and excitement.

Hmm, not sure if I can carry the dress but it sure looks good on Mrs O.
Love your blog, Mrs T. I'm a size 6 so pick me!!
How do I love Mrs. O? Let me count the ways.
Love the dress, love the drawing, love the website.
Happy V-day!
looked for it at my DC H & M and it was gone!
YES YOU CAN SEND ME THAT DRESS
Mrs. O makes everything look amazing, and this dress is no exception! I love it! Happy Valentine's Day!
I thank you for your generosity. Yes I want that dress!! She is beyond beautiful in mind ,body and spirit she is destined to go down as one of the most beloved first ladies. Four more years!
Love the dress. I don't think that dress even made it to the stores in Boston!
Thank you for the wonderful offer! I appreciate all you do--this site is a gem.
I'm 5'11" and a size 6...perfect!
Lovely! She looks so chic in everything she wears!
I love the fact the First Lady opted to wear the dress with longer sleeves and a different belt, She rocks the dress with her own style!
I love this dress!
I love your blog...it always fascinates me what the first lady wears and your blog provides a unique perspective. Thank you Mrs. T for sharing a little of the first lady style with us devoted readers. :-)
It's my size - and would love it!
Ooh, LOVE the polka dots! Sign me up!
I would love that dress! Thought about trying to buy it at H&M but just assumed it would sell out in minutes...
Oh me please!!!!! I love Mrs. O's style and I love your blog. I've been reading it since the first few posts. I can definitely imagine rocking this number once this horrid Boston winter finishes. Fingers are crossed.
LOVE that dress! Mrs. Obama is such a fashion icon for us tall professionals!
i am no size 6, but hey happy valentine's day!
If I won this dress, I would give it to my friend Jill, who is the kindest, sweetest person I know. Then she could proudly say she was wearing a Mrs. O dress.
Just my size!!! Happy Valentine's Day!
J'adore! I want that dress to be my Valentine.
I am not a size 6 so don't enter me into the contest. However, that is a fabulous little dress, now isn't it? I will have to make me one like it for spring. My question is... how does Mrs. O, who is 6 feet tall, wear this off the rack stuff? I am 5' 10" and can rarely find anything off the rack that fits right. That dress off the rack would have too short of a waist and the length would be too short, too. More power to her. I guess that's why she's the maginificent Mrs. O!!
Yes! I LOVE this dress and it's just my size :). Thanks so much for such a fantastic blog. It always makes my day.
Super Cute!!
Okay those Polka Dots are all of a sudden looking like hearts to me! Hope I win!
I would love to have the dress it is my size and would be one step closer updating my war drobe.
Thank You for your generosity
Love this dress!! She looks fantastic, as usual.
This dress is beautiful, I would love to win. But I'm from Germany - does that mind?
Mrs. O is so cool, the fact that she's wearing a H&M dress makes her even cooler!
I totally want that dress!!!!
I love that Mrs. Obama makes such a strong impression on women all over the world. I love learning about her clothes and what she chooses to feature in her creative wardrobe, because it means I also get to learn about all the wonderful things she does daily for others.
Happy Valentine's Day to all! Remember, in order to love with all your heart, be kind and show love to yourself. What a fun dress and a nice opportunity to share the love today with your giveaway!
Too cute... Happy Valentine's Day!
A size 6 at H&M is really a size 4 elsewhere...but I'm willing to take the risk ;). Love your blog, btw.
Really loved the way Mrs. O altered it with the long sleeves. Just Beautiful!
Love this blog, love this cute dress!
Love it! Thanks so much for the constant inspiration! The dress is fab and I think it was absolutely marvelous that the sleeves were added!
Bravo!
Beautiful dress!
Love Mrs. O, would love to have that dress!
Cute dress!
Would love to have the dress!
Cute Cute Cute.
I'd love to have it!
I love the dress and good luck to those who enter the contest. (Unfortunately, I can't think of anyone I know that could fit a size 6 dress).
In the Caribbean, Polka Dots are for good luck :-) We wear it on January 1 and on Birthdays.
I am a size 6 and love Mrs. O and this blog!
Happy Valentine's Day.
~Long-time reader, First-time poster
Country/City chic, yet Mrs. O gave it another .......glamorous.
Wow the power of Mrs.O.
Mrs. T,
Quick question....with the fashion shows going on in New York this week, which designer(s) do you feel best reflect Mrs. O's sense of style? In other words, whose collection will she be wearing this fall? Thanks

happy st. valentine's day. that dress is so perfect.
My daughter is banking on getting down to a size 6. I wish lots of luck in that endeavor, Hopefully, she'll have a chance to wear the beautiful dress you are auctioning off.
