Last night, The Obamas hosted their weekly Wednesday dinner in the White House East Room. And this time around they invited 200 congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle. First Lady Michelle O. donned a velvety black pantsuit with an intricate brooch and black flats:
And her Presidential hubby donned his usual black suit and simple red tie. I have an urge to send President Obama an extra hot rack of ties, but that just seems inappropriate. I usually don’t love head to toe velvet so I’m not loving this look for the First Lady. But she always looks fab nonetheless.
More pics of what the First Lady’s been up to when you read the rest…
While speaking to women veteran’s this week, the First Lady opted for an extra layered look with high waisted pants, a geometric button down, a cardigan, and a suit jacket. And of course, her usual pop of color belt.
Nice.
And the President and First Lady bought their daughters Sasha and Malia a present yesterday:
The girls were welcomed home by their new playground swing set. Fun times.

Mrs. Obama is 2009’s answer to the preppy look. Love it!
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:38 AM
I hope Mrs. Obama doesn’t start listening to the critics saying it’s not appropriate for her to wear her arms out. She has FAB arms and she should show them. F*** everybody else. I would start wearing booty shorts around the White House.
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:38 AM
Michelle is becoming a real fashionista! Loves it!
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:39 AM
Coolest, most suave and professional looking powerful black couple in all this great land! Loves it!

I would say- no! My black suit was full of dust when I “finally” got up. People were laughing like they were at a comedy show. Everything came out of my purse, I was just a hot mess! :lol:

I agree. She was trying to give everybody tickets to the gun show. If you got it, flaunt it…and she does so tastefully.
(**Side note-I know you looked cute and played that ish off)
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:48 AM
The black is fitting a bit funny, but she is making me love the blue. Even tho separately I would have never thought that could come together. Her hair and makeup have been the greatness!

Thu, March 5, 2009 9:52 AM
She looks fab. I really hope that the jackets aren’t because of the critics. Hopefully when the spring rolls in, she’ll have those arms back out with a big middle finger to those stuck up biznatches!! (I know that’s not First Lady-like, but it’s wishful thinking lol)
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:56 AM
She may not always look on point. *inserts obligatory “What is that VEEELLLLVET?!?!?!” comment*
It matters not.
She will have a pass for all eternity. Loves it- even when I hated it.
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:56 AM
I love them. You can tell they ar each other’s best friend.
Thu, March 5, 2009 9:57 AM
Just look at them! Geezus, they make me proud! And why is it that everytime i see an Obama pic, i wink? My eye just winks on it’s own!!! I don’t understand it, lol

They’re so “Special,” they’re so special, so special, so special!!
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:04 AM
I LOVE this couple. They look great as usual. I don’t think Michelle is shallow enough to get caught up in what the critics say about her showing her arms. In situations where a jacket is appropriate she’ll wear one, and when its okay to show those FAB arms, she’ll show them. Get’em Girl!
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:07 AM
I’m really feeling that cardigan and suit jacket look. Very tasteful and well put together. Loves it!

Thu, March 5, 2009 10:17 AM
oh michelle o…i would’ve loved to see the 2nd outfit without the jacket so i can, u kno, see the outfit. underneath looks kinda ok…fcuk it, if she likes it, than i do too.
and her hair looks bouncy in the velour (track) suit. i keed i keed, no hate today!
i heart them as the 1st couple. oh and sasha ‘nem are 7 & 10, so no, they are not too old for a swing set. hell, my grown ass wants one too :P
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:18 AM
Malia is too damn old for that swing set, but thanks anyway, Mom and Dad!
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:21 AM
lovessss them
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:21 AM
I don’t like head to toe Velvet either.. But, she’s Michelle Obama so she gets a pass :)
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:22 AM
Now this look is HOT!!!!! I love preppy!!!!!! Go Mrs. Obama!! TOO cute!!
A dog and a play set!! The LIFE!!!!
That was such a cute idea!
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:23 AM
i personally dont like the “arms out” all the darn time. a first lady needs on a suit jacket.
wassup gorgeous1!

i was thinkin the same thing Sasha is still ok for it but Malia maybe a lil too old fo it. i was thinkin maybe a wii game or guitar hero Jonas Bros fo Malia but no harm she could still play wit lil sis.
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:27 AM
I don’t think they’re too old for a swing set. It’s good that they’re trying to maintain their children’s innocence and childhood. They’re 10 and 7 for goodness sakes! That’s what little girls SHOULD be doing.

ok i will say this again since it didn’t post the first time.
they are not too old. They need to have a play set NOT, cell phones, blackberrys, weaves, braids with hair added, fake nails, and the like…kids need to be kids. This is why we have 12 year old moms and 30 year old grandmoms!
Thu, March 5, 2009 10:33 AM
nice suit Mrs O but bout that swing, umm aint y’all spozd to be a picture of thriftyness instead of splurging?? especially in these times. jus sayin….

Thank you Vanity—you speak the Truth! Black people wake up. It is not cool to be a grandmother in your 30’s and 40’s. When I was little, my grandparents were in their sixties. Meaning, my parents had me in their twenties.
Its a sad day, when a seven year old asks a forty year old woman if she is the grandmother of her child. That’s what happen to me the other day. I pointed to my mother who is in is in her 60’s and said, no that’s her, my daughter’s, grandmother.

I also gotta have a little chit-chat with “Barb”, i’ve popped in a coupla times and seen that she has my Iddy as her gravi pic! Unwritten YBF Rule #1 VIOLATION!!! I haven’t been able to catch her though so we can have a mature conversation & come to a reasonable conclusion about this matter, in due time though, in due time.
