Mother's Day Cheer
Friday, May 11, 2012 at 10:22 AM 
Yellow was the color du jour at the Mother's Day Joining Forces event held in the State Dining Room of the White House yesterday. The First Lady and Dr. Biden met with children from military families as they created Mother's Day cards and other crafts. Both women donned yellow, as Mrs. O re-wore a Rachel Roy frock, previously seen here.
Festivities continued beyond the White House. Joined by spouses of members of Congress, the ladies later gathered at the Naval Observatory to assemble Mother's Day packages that deployed US troops have requested to be sent to their mothers and wives at home. For her more casual look, Mrs. O wore a Sonia By Sonia Rykiel knit top and cardigan. A banner day for Joining Forces!

BEAUTIFUL, INSIDE & OUT!!!!!!!
Good looking ladies.
Mrs. Obama's knit top and cardigan by Sonia Rykiel. You can see them at asos. Très français! : )
Love both ladies casual outfits. Everything Mrs O has worn from Sonia Rykiel is so adorable!
It helps that the French and US colors are the same, this look definitely screams USA and is perfect for a military event!

I love Rachel Roy's two tone dresses. I have been trying to buy one online in UK but can't find any websites. Can anyone help ? By the way, both ladies look exquisite. It is so lovelty to see political sisterhood !
I'm still in love with this dress! FLOTUS & SLOTUS are a formidable twosome. Both ladies look lovely in dress attire as well as their casual duds.
@ Jestina, there are several Rachel Roy two tone dresses on ebay. I did not see this particular one on there, but quite a few with the drape necklines for extremely good prices. Several sellers will indeed ship to The UK, also.
Ladies, the Rachel Roy dress that our Michelle wore last year in Brazil is on ebay @ $268! It's brand new with tags. This seller has a 100% rating with 661 transactions. She ships worldwide and the dress is a size 10. Check out item # 120899417842.
HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
Thanks for the info, Charlene. I am off to Ebay right now.
