Mrs. O x Shop-a-Matic
Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:58 PM 
Anyone spending time on the east coast this week will agree that the start of fall feels undeniably here and now. Last week's skirts and sandals have begrudgingly been replaced by rain boots and light jackets. C'est la vie. If you haven't already, there's no better time to start thinking about fall fashion.
I recently had a chance to guest edit New York Magazine's Shop-a-Matic, selecting 20 Mrs. O-inspired looks using Fall 2011 trends like polka dots, tuxedo dressing, midi-skirts, and updated color blocking, all collected HERE. The selections center around the fall trends while staying true to Mrs. O's signatures: a penchant for color, bold prints, and an avant garde cardigan or two. A fun exercise!
What looks would you like to see the First Lady embrace this season?

Mrs. T, how exciting!! I really love fall and I love many of your selections. Thank you!!
Can't wait to see what Mrs. O will be wearing this season. I'd love to see her in some gorgeous wool!
The Colorblock tan/black sweater by Clu and the green dot skirt & blouse are the ones that call out "Michelle" to me.
ooh, I would like to see Mrs. O in Ted Baker and Kate Spade.
I would like to see her wearing the wonderful jacket she wore in Oslo. The silver/blue one with all the pleating around the neck. The most beautiful thing she has worn--remember it?
