Floral Remix

The First Lady attended two events today, first a ceremony marking Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, followed by a ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.

For the appearances, Mrs. O dipped into her closet to bring back two familiar floral frocks by Tracy Feith and Moschino respectively. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Back to Basics

It's been a sport-centric week for the First Lady thus far. Yesterday, Mrs. O addressed athletes from Team USA at a press conference held in Dallas, Texas. Today, she was back to the White House to host a Let's Move event honoring the LA Galaxy.

On the style front, black and white appears to be the palette du jour. Mrs. O paired an oversized flower pin with a striped top, blazer and white trousers (not shown) in Dallas. For today's White House event, Mrs. O wore her signature Alaia belt in white with a Moschino bow blouse and black trousers.

Update: Reader Elizabeth identifies Mrs. O's blazer as Moschino, available here.

Joining Forces in Style

Mrs. O and Dr. B were together at the Pentagon today to help reveal a report from the Departments of Defense and Treasury that "outlines best practices that states can adopt to support military spouse employment and license portability." The report is part of Mrs. O and Dr. B's ongoing Joining Forces initiative. Read more on the White House blog, here.

On the fashion front: The First Lady wore a Moschino Pre-Spring 2010 dress, previously seen here and here. Dr. Biden wore a teal dress paired with a coordinating tweed jacket.

Mrs. O spoke with students at Ballou High School in Washington, D.C. today as part of a mentoring program. Per the first lady's press office, Mrs. O was set to "share her experiences with students, and encourage them to strive for excellence while pursuing their career goals."

Later this evening, the first lady will invite mentors and students to reconvene at the White House's East Room for a dinner and program. On a fashion note, Mrs. O wore a floral Moschino jacket for the daytime event.
