President Barack Obama addresses a joint session of Congress this Wednesday evening on Capitol Hill in Washington. Mrs. Obama sits in the audience as the president is expected to discuss the future of America’s health care.
For this event, Michelle Obama is wearing a chic, modern skirt suit, quite similar to the many fashion forward skirt suits worn by Jackie Kennedy during her years as first lady. The jacket of the suit has detailed seam work and bracelet length sleeves. The jacket closes with a bowtie and is adorned with one of Michelle’s signature jeweled brooches. Her stylish and elegant look features a kick pleat skirt in the inviting color of dusty rose. This color and style of dress is perfect for almost any business casual affair; this ensemble is simultaneously warm, inviting and chic.
Mrs. Obama chose to wear sleeves tonight, possibly due to the negative response of critics when she chose to wear a Sleeveless Dress to President Obama’s first address earlier this year.
