Television: Michelle Obama Fashion Review - "She Chooses Wisely"

Here is another preview of this week's broadcast of Our East Wing, the show inspired by the blog Michelle Obama Watch. OEW host and stylist , Tiffany gives us a review of the fabulous fashions donned by First Lady Michelle Obama during her recent trip to Mexico:


Here is a transcript for those of you who can't view the video

""What we've come to know and love about Michelle Obama fashion is her innate sense of accessibility to the everyday woman.

Yes, she does the have the advantage in that every designer around the world would kill to dress her, but she chooses wisely.

Not only does she wear user friendly items, but she's also a fashion recycler, and I love that in a woman, it entails a fashion genius.

So, this week in Michelle Obama fashion we kick it off with her stepping off the plane into Mexico City, dawning a Tracy Reese blue and white sun dress paired with red flats.

Can anyone say USA? Later, at the National Museum of Anthropology she was seen in a julian wrap dress by Diane Von Furstenberg along with yellow flats. The dress is chic and looks like spring and the flats only concrete her great use of color.

Then, at the Universidad Iberoamericana, she looked stunning in a mixed media print Rachel Roy dress.

Hot pink on the top, floral on the bottom, tied together with a black belted singed waist. Her use of bold prints and bright colors is completely a Michelle Obama trademark. Two thumbs up! Finally, to wrap it up, we see her at dinner with the Mexican First Lady, in a chartreuse satin cocktail dress.

Again with the color and again with the designer. We have seen this designer before, yup, the one that designed her famous inaugural gown, Jason Wu. This is a fashion do.

All in all, a very fashion forward week. Can't wait to see what she'll wear this week!""

Yes she does choose wisely, and the result is BEAUTIFUL!

I don't agree with everything she wears, but she still has my support, 100%, because there is more to this wonderful First Lady than what she wears.

Michelle Obama not only chooses wisely when it comes to fashion, but this phenomenal woman evidently makes very wise choices in every facet of her life. I want to be just like her when I grow up :-)

I truly enjoy the fashion Our East Wing mini-movies of the First Lady. I have seen the two (2) episodes posted.

I have one (1) respectful suggestion: Construct a mini-teleprompter for the Fashion Reviewer/Reporter(s) to read off of versus the large written cards.

This can be done with a lap-top computer, and a portable mini LED projector. The written font is easy to read from a distance this way on a wall or a posterboard and the Fashion Reviewer/Reporter will never have to look down at her notes. They can keep their eyes on the camera.

Josephine give us time :) but yes, we know we need a teleprompter.

Hey, Great show you have here! Mrs. O wears things I could see myself wearing (well, less expensive versions!), so I can identify with her choices, and at the same time am still inspired by those choices. It's nice to be able take a break from the "serious" news and watch this and think, "Hey, if she can wear a blue and white dress w/ red ballet flats, I might be able to put something kind of similar together at a cheaper price and look pretty O.K." Good work, Gals!
