Lady O, First Lady of Fashion

First Lady, Michelle Obama has been spreading the holiday cheer with her, Simple Gifts Theme.  Each year the First Lady picks a theme for the holidays.  This year Lady O picked, the SGT, so that we could all focus on the simple things in life that we appreciate most.

And while she's been out, she's been true to her title as, the First Lady of Fashion.  In fact she made history on Friday, when she wore an all black vintage dress created by the late desginer, Norman Norell.  Mrs. Obama picked the dress up at, New York Vintage (NVU.com) boutique.  The dress was a 1950s piece.  It marks the first time a first lady has worn a vintage dress to an event.  She wore the dress to the "Christmas in Washington" concert.  She also, rocked Marc Jacobs on the 10th and those are just a few of her many hits this holiday season.
