:-)) That hat was a real rip snorter. It had the potential to look drop
dead special on someone, but I really can't think who could get away with
it.

LOL. She was a bit too late for Xmas, but with a borber of moving green and
red lights running round the bow, it'd be perfect.

"The answer: surfer-turned-designer Tracy Feith. A sales
associate answering the phone Wednesday at his Madison
Avenue store in New York reported the style is from the fall
2008 collection and is still in circulation for about $720"
That border print bit of 50s throw-back was $720.00!? I was
looking for something fabulous on Mrs. O. this sure doesn't
cut it.

I can't say I was particularly taken with either dress and I especially
didn't think that ball gown did much for her. The daytime outfit I heard
looked to be different colors on different TVs. It was quite gold on ours
but I've seen it describd as "lemongrass yellow with hints of green". It
does make more sense as a choice since I saw the Chicago Tribune article that
described it as "lemongrass wool lace sheath and coat for day.....
[featuring} a coat lined with pashmina cashmere for warmth.

story,0,1949360.story
It may well have been the warmest choice without covering it with another
coat.

I liked the gold outfit. Different from the usual boring suit. Mind
you, I may be prejudiced, I had a matching dress and coat in my
trousseau, made for me by my grandmother!! But then, a lot of things in
the boutiques nowadays are identical to those I wore as a teenager.
As to the outfit itself, I wasn't thrilled with the flare at the back
waist of the coat, but that may have been for ease. I wondered about
the shiny stuff at the neck, until I saw the luncheon. It was obviously
a form of sweater clip which kept her toning sweater closed at the neckline.
BTW, I did read in the paper that Obama was wearing "bullet resistant"
stuff under his suit, which a tv commentator had announced as being by
his Chicago tailor, Hart Schaffner & Marx. (giggle) So, maybe she was
also wearing bullet proof undies.
I didn't stay up to watch the ball, so I have no opinion on the
ballgown, but I did also like the dress she wore for the church service
the next morning.

Here's a view:

The wide shoulder strap looks like an afterthought. And the
fabirc appears to be very limp 40's curtains.
