Coming up roses in J. Crew

Speaking today in Jacksonville, NC, Mrs. O wore a sage green v-neck tee with a "Sketchbook roses Belle skirt" from J. Crew and silver ballet flats. We've been a big fan of J. Crew the past few seasons, and are happy to see Mrs. O bring them into her high-low fashion mix. We love this look. The sage green works well with the muted gray of the skirt, while the silver ballet flats add just the right amount of sparkle. The overall silhouette, fitted on top with a full skirt on bottom, is very becoming on Mrs. O. Now we'll just have to wait and see if she makes an appearance at tonight's debate - with a keen eye on what she's wearing, of course.

Mrs. O's style has such an easy sophistication about it - how refreshing for all of us. Let's hope it's something we can watch (and emulate!) at least the next four years! (Love your site.)
I actually met Mrs. Obama that day in Jacksonville and I was too awestruck to ask her. But does anyone know where we can get the necklaces she wore? I noticed she wears the same two with a lot of her casual outfits. One of the necklaces says "hope" on the.
Dear Gabrielle,
Thanks for the tip on the necklaces. Hope you've had a chance to check out our latest post dedicated to them.
Best,
Mrs. T
