What a jam-packed day for the first lady! This morning, First Lady Mrs. O spoke at the the 101st annual NAACP convention in Kansas City, Missouri, focusing on her Let's Move! initiative. For the event, Mrs. O wore a black and white polka dot ensemble -- the top, featuring sheer sleeves, was an inverse print of the coordinating skirt. Both pieces are by Jason Wu.

Update: Mrs. O accessorized her first ensemble of the day with a pair of stunning Mary Esses earrings. Hand-set in 18k yellow gold, the earrings feature dangling, pear-shaped, deep green quartz stones, accented with bezel-set diamonds and baguettes of pale green beryl. A close-up of the earrings is featured below.

Later in the day, Mrs. O ventured south to Panama City Beach, Florida, where she met business and tourism leaders to discuss how the Gulf oil spill has impacted the region. For this appearance, Mrs. O changed into a black blue and white floral top and pants. The drawstring top is from the Thakoon Pre-Spring 2010 collection.

First lady Mrs. O had a full day Friday, as she hosted a "Let's Move" initiative at the White House Kitchen Garden. The event began as Mrs. O spoke to a group of several hundred chefs as part of the 'Chefs Move! To Schools' initiative, calling on chefs to adopt a local school in an effort to educate kids about food and nutrition. Following her speech, Mrs. O rolled up her sleeves (and changed tops - from pixelated floral Thakoon to Lanvin) to get to work with local students harvesting vegetables from the White House garden. Hope everyone is staying cool!

The first lady was at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. today to present the Childhood Obesity Task Force action plan, "Solving the Problem of Childhood Obesity Within a Generation." More on the plan can be found here. For the business affair, the first lady reprised a Thakoon Watercolor Gazar jacket, first seen in October of 2009, here. Today Mrs. O remixed the jacket, pairing it with a floral blue top and solid navy trousers.

The president and first lady celebrated Cinco de Mayo today in the Rose Garden of the White House. For the occasion, Mrs. O debuted a fabulous new watercolor print dress by Thakoon. The silk sleeveless dress features a bold print and drawstrings at the hip and shoulder, which create a bloused effect. Hoop earrings and yellow sandals completed the fantastic, festive look.

Additional photos from the recent White House Governors Ball have made my day! Love the second look at Mrs. O's Thakoon gown. And might those be the Loree Rodkin diamond bangles Mrs. O parted with yesterday?

Per Political Punch, the first lady gave her inaugural jewelry a special goodbye at yesterday's Smithsonian event: “Oh look the jewelry!” she said with a laugh and a wave, “This is what I’ll miss the most. Bye jewelry!”
