Michelle Obama just stepped out of the Blair House wearing a golden yellow brocade dress and matching coat by Cuban-born designer Isabel Toledo. The First Lady purchased the outfit at Ikram, a Chicago outlet for Toledo's clothing line.
I'm not sure my feelings on it, but I do respect the fact that she chose an avant-garde designer as opposed to someone mainstream. It's tonight's gown that I'm most excited to see. Stay tuned.
