The first lady spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative this afternoon, focused on best utilizing the skills of military veterans and their families in the workforce. "Today I promise to continue to use my platform as First Lady to bring people together around this issue. I'll work to spark not just a national conversation, but national action to give our vets and military spouses the opportunities they deserve," said Mrs. O. For further reading, click here.
Mrs. O's dress is from the Moschino Cheap And Chic Fall Winter 2010 collection. The first lady debuted the dress for a Mother's Day luncheon in May 2010.

First Lady Mrs. O hosted a Mother's Day event in the East Room of the White House today, where she acknowledged her mother Marian Robinson, who was seated in the audience (and wearing a sweet, tie neck top).
On the style front, the first lady mixed things up today, quite literally. Her three-quarter length sleeve dress combines a floral top and graphic plaid skirt, brought together at the waist in a twist. The first lady is on a bold style streak as of late. My sense is that this particular look may be a bit polarizing in that it challenges convention. Does anyone recognize the designer?
Update: At last we have the answer! Mrs. O's dress is from the Moschino Cheap And Chic Fall Winter 2010 collection. Seen on the runway, paired with a fabulous pink jacket, here.
