The first lady announced today that the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, a group comprised of food retailers and trade associations, has pledged to remove 1.5 trillion calories from their products by the end of 2015. The pledge comes a big win for Mrs. O's "Let's Move" initiative.

Announcing the good news, Mrs. O turned to a coordinating jacket and skirt by Moschino, first seen in October 2009, here.

After a much-deserved week off for Spring Break with her daughters, Mrs. O is back to her first lady duties today, speaking at the White House Council on Women and Girls' Forum on Workplace Flexibility. We missed you Mrs. O!

The first lady appeared at the event in a fresh spring ensemble, wearing a short-sleeve jacket and pencil skirt by Narciso Rodriguez, created from cream organza with a black ribbon jacquard weave and chiffon trim. The suit was paired with an orange camisole, beaded Moschino brooch and black kitten heels. Fresh and lovely!
