Happy Monday all!
I’m filled with pride today that President Obama was sworn in for a second term (yay!) and remembering the courage of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. The gains of the Civil Rights Movement allowed me to obtain a higher education, become a professional and enjoy the same rights as other Americans. I can now say in my lifetime Ive witnessed my country elect a biracial man for president twice. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. King and all those who sacrificed so much for my generation and generations to come.
Now there is no way I could write this and not mention my style hero Michelle Obama. She wore a magnificent fit and flare blue (checkered I believe) coat accentuated by a wonderful statement belt from J Crew. And her bangs?! Gorgeous! Under that fab coat Michelle rocked a simple blue and white striped dress which made me clap with glee. Why so happy you ask? Stripes happen to be my latest print obsession. So when I saw the FLOTUS wear it I had to share some wonderful striped pieces to add to your wardrobe!
Have a great day!
Preach it! I loved your message today! And stripes- I’m in that ASOS peplum top today!
Thank you hon! I saw your post and I LOVE IT!!!!
Ooh, that black-and-white dress on the right looks really fantastic!!
Its fantastic!
I’m a woman with ample hips, so I must be careful with stripes. You have inspired me to do OOTW on my blog, just fyi.
REALLY?! Im so happy I could help out!
Peplum AND stripes in a dress! That must be your current favourite piece. lol.
Me, I’m more of a polkadots girl. And yes. GO OBAMA!!! He rocks!
You know me so well! LOL
Yes Obama rocks! Im so glad he is still our president!
I second your emotion – FLOTUS, POTUS, Malia, Sacha and Moms ALL looked fabulous yesterday. Missed seeing YOU in stripes instead of the magazines pics
Aww thank you! I had stripes on in last Friday’s outfit post. I promise I will be striped out this Spring/Summer!
All of the obama ladies looked fantastic yesterday. Love your stripey picks:)
Yes they did! Michelle’s coat was FANTASTIC!
Mrs Obama is just all types of magnificance, i adore her too – and yes to the second term, there were fingers, toes and everything crossed! x
