Michelle Obama dazzled us all in a white chiffon one sholder creation by designer Jason Wu at the Inaugural Ball. This is s moment not only in fashion history, but in American History.
I lived in DC for a number of years and my house was on Capitol Hill. I lived next to a park and from that pak you could see the Capitol Building, we used to watch the Fouth of July Fireworks from there. The Capitol is on the edge of the National Mall so sometimes I would walk or take the metro to the museums there. National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian Museums line the Mall with some of the most amazing sites on earth.
When I was a little girl my Mom took my sister and I to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History and we walked through the wonderful exhibit of dresses from past First Ladies, which I will always think of as the "Hall of Dresses". How thrilling it was when as a small child I could see pieces of history through out the ages in these beautiful gowns for Inagural Ball and Inaugration Day dresses. Jackie Kennedy's dress was always a particular favorite of mine - I've always loved fashion.
What a thrill it will be in years to come when I can bring my own children to the Smithonsian's National Museum of American History and take them to the "Hall of Dresses" and see Michelle Obama's Ball Gown!

Michelle Obama wears Isabel Toledo for Inauguration Day!
Michelle Obama is wearing a beautiful gold Isabel Toledo dress to Inauguration Day!
Isabel Toledo is the creative Director for Anne Klein and Michelle has rocked her styles before.
Michelle Obama looks SO beautiful! She really is having a fashion moment and her outfit has real impact.
Our new President: Barack Obama is wearing a long black jacket, black suit, white shirt and red tie.
When they met the Bushes for the traditional coffee at the White House, Michelle Obama towered over both of them - yes, she is taller than W. I was a bit surprised to see Laura Bush in a powder blue suit dress with a quite short skirt with light tights and black shoes that were not flattering to her cankles, her stylist really owes her an apology and I hope she gets a new stylist when she moves to Texas today. On behalf of America let me just say: GOODBYE!
And on be half of America let me just say a giant HELLO and WELCOME to the new first family!
This is a beautiful moment in history and I am so proud of the progress we have made!
