Andrea Rodgers on The Trend TV Show for Zappos Couture
I hope you’ll check out the Election Week episode of The Trend TV Show. I report from The White House in Washington, DC, giving my take on First Lady style. Here are some of my favorite looks by Michelle Obama and Ann Romney. I think both ladies have amazing style!
First lady Nancy Reagan was famous for wearing red, but red isn’t just for Republican first ladies. Michelle Obama looks amazing in red, as does Ann Romney (Photo Credit: NYDailyNews.com).
For the first debate, both ladies wore solid color, feminine lady-like suits. Ann Romney wore an off white suit by Alfred Fiandaca, a designer she is famous for wearing who caters to clients in Boston, New York and Palm Beach. I loved the updated zipper closure on the jacket and the subtle feminine flare of the skirt which featured an awning detail.
Michelle Obama wore a rich amethyst suit with lady-like 3/4 sleeves and a longer length pencil skirt.
As my readers know, pink is my favorite color! I loved seeing both first lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney wearing bright pink at the second debate in honor of October as Breast Cancer Awareness month. (Photo Credit: TheCut.com)
For the third debate, both ladies skipped solids and wore a pattern. They both chose a flattering way to wear pattern which doesn’t do as well on camera as a solid. Mrs. Obama’s was a classic simple black lace over gray, while Mrs. Romney’s dress had an ombre effect — going from dark green to pattern on the bottom. Both ladies wore one statement piece of jewelry — Mrs. O wore a brooch and Mrs. Romney wore a clear lucite statement necklace.
In addition to loving pink, I love a polka dot! Hence the subtle background on my website. On the campaign trail, Ann Romney wore a polka dot top and very much on trend coral jacket accessorized with statement pieces.
Michelle Obama wears a smaller polka dot top with graphic print cardigan and statement necklace out on the campaign trail in Florida.
