The First Family helped to light the National Christmas Tree at the Ellipse across from the White House tonight. Mrs. O wore a Narciso Rodriguez black and gold embroidered coat, first seen earlier this year, here, and paired this evening with a red scarf to keep cozy. Kara Ross NY earrings completed the look.

P.S. How chic is Mrs. Marian Robinson in the last photo? Love!

First Lady Mrs. O and her daughters Sasha and Malia received the 2010 White House Christmas Tree yesterday. The 18 1/2 foot Douglas fir tree hails from a tree farm in Lehighton, PA. 

For the appearance, Mrs. O wore the Merino sequin crochet cardigan from J.Crew, here (and on sale!), paired with a ruffled white blouse and camel trousers. Kara Ross NY earrings completed the look. Mrs. O wasn't the only one delivering a dose of style yesterday. It's become increasingly clear that an interest in fashion is a mother-daughter affair at the White House!
