Michelle Obama Gives us Floral in Thakoon's "Inside-Out"

Michelle Obama has become a fashion icon over the months. For some, there probably was as much anticipation about what Michelle would wear to the first presidential debate as there was about whether there would be one and, if so, what the two presidential candidates would say. I admire Michelle’s sartorial genius and her willingness to push the envelope, particularly with the use of floral and prints. However, last night, she pushed the mailbox over in Thakoon’s floral “Inside-Out” piece. Everything was wrong; the colors, the floral print, the fit and yes, the BOW. I suggest the First Lady hopeful stick with the vibrant, classic pieces that have worked so well on her in the past and leave the flowers in the greenhouse. One debate down, two to go.
