We thought we were short on Mrs. O fashion news today until we stumbled across this stunner. Watching the Vice Presidential Debate last Friday night in Detroit, Mrs. O wore Thakoon's Tweed Loop jacket with woven rope print blouse underneath. The jacket and blouse mix both pattern and texture, which could pose a style challenge, but work well here due to the consistent color palette. The light softness of the tie-neck blouse also has a nice balance with the more structured, weighty jacket. We're happy to see that Mrs. O has brought her DNC brooches back into rotation. The taupe colored brooch at the top right, while a departure from the palette, keeps the look from becoming too matchy-matchy. This is the first we've seen Mrs. O in Thakoon after she wore two of his dresses for the final night of the DNC and then to first Presidential Debate. With this ensemble, Thakoon has officially propelled himself to go-to designer status for Mrs. O, joining the ranks of Maria Pinto and Narciso Rodriguez. We hope he and this look make encore performances soon.
