Okay, just had to add one more thought on the day. Among the things I expect from the next four years is a parade of interesting outfits from our new First Lady.
I think Michelle is a snappy dresser on a good day, and with her lovely figure and beautiful smile, she can carry off outfits most people couldn't dream of getting away with. For the first time, perhaps since Jackie Kennedy, we have a First Lady who has her own sense of style, and who isn't afraid to be herself. When she has a hit, she is spectacular, and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with.
But seriously. When she misses? Wow.
Today, for the swearing in, she hit a home run, in my book. She looked amazing in that outfit - absolutely stunning.
It almost erased the vision of her on election night. [Let's just not even go there. I'm still having nightmares.]
Tonight, well, hm. Back in the desert, are we? I mean, if you know you are going to be dancing, should you really consider a floor length gown with a train that you will then have to manhandle every thirty seconds?
I think the next four years will be a boon for young American designers. I think we are about to see a whole different world of fashion, led by a First Lady who obviously loves bold colors and exciting patterns and contemporary styles. Whether it's good or bad on any given day, it certainly is going to be interesting.
