Does MO know best?

First lady Michelle Obama is being likened back to the days of Jackie Kennedy. A compliment bestowed and not to be taken lightly. Michelle has really impressed me by wearing the accessible American brand J.Crew mixed with Indy American designers: Jason Wu, Isabel Toledo and Maria Pinto.

MO"s perfect architecting of hi-lo American dressing. Give em what they know while throwing a curve ball. J. Crew=the gimme, indy design=the curve. THAT'S STYLING!

Michelle Obama while in Europe has opted for European designers: Alaia, Moschino and Etro. The first lady came out of the gates with her support for American designers and should be In Europe showing the world her support for America through and through.

Because Jackie Kennedy wore Hubert De Givenchy on her European visit doesn't mean that our new first lady has to follow suit.

American designers on American soil and European designers on European soil in my opinion doesn't show leadership.

The first lady came out of the gates with such a brilliant fashion strategy. Sadly her latest move of wearing the designers of the country she is in, makes you wonder whose in charge.

Style tip- I have talked about this before, when you create a signature style, consistency is king. Authenticity in your wardrobe is imperative when you are leading in your own life.

Double style tip- Who doesn't look great in a beautfiul LBD, American or not. Consider your shoes, they are just as important as the dress. The first lady is rather ho hum in the shoe department..
