On the Campaign Trail

The First Lady has returned from London and is back on the campaign trail, making two stops in North Carolina today to rally volunteer support. The effort is part of a lead up to the Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina in early September. 

In Raleigh, Mrs. O wore a yellow floral Tracy Reese dress (previously seen in April 2011, here) to meet campaign supporters. In Greensboro, Mrs. O wore a navy and white stripe dress for a speech at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
