Collector's Notes: This lovely sketch was submitted to WWD by designer Badgley Mischka. As we see, this suit in color blue with white turtleneck and black belt and gloves, is a nice outfit for the day of the Inaugural Ball. We have also seen Michelle pull off the knee-high boots, so this sketch is up-to-date with Michelle's wardrobe. And who knows, this could be a possibility!

Collector's Notes: Says the Michelle O Style blog:
New York designer Elie Tahari invited retail buyers to his showroom this past week to unveil his latest sartorial confection: a $598 purple-floral sheath that he has named "the Michelle dress," after Michelle Obama.
The 44-year-old future first lady's immediate influence on fashion "has nothing to do with fashion trends," says Mr. Tahari, who plans to put the dress in ads this spring and in stores in June. "Her style is all about the woman being noticed, not just the dress."
