First Lady Michelle O. Tells Women to Wear What They Love...


Via HuffPo:
We're totally ready to turn the page on Michelle Obama McQueen Dressgate.

For those of you not caught up, here's the saga in a nutshell: the first lady wore British label Alexander McQueen to the State Dinner with China last week.

Michelle O. mainly wears US designers, so it seems a bit mean of CFDA to cavil.

* ditto what colours look best on our skin-tone...

and from that lot, wear what we love!
