Hello from the United States! My name is Laurin and I’m a tall fashion fanatic, 5′ 11 3/4″ to be exact. I will be reporting on what’s hot and what’s not from the other side of the pond.
Sorry to jump right into politics, but you may have heard we just had an election here in the United States. Barack Obama is our new President! We also have a lovely and stylish new First Lady, Michelle Obama.
First Lady Michelle Obama - hey, I like the sound of that - is also a very tall woman. You would think the press could nail down something as simple as how tall a person is, but reports differ and estimates range from 5′ 8″ to 6′. In any event, she is quite tall, and her savvy separates and chic sheaths are perfect for her.
In true political fashion, Ms. Obama’s first fashion moment as First Lady has already caused a debate of its own. Apparently, the altered Narciso Rodriguez dress she wore on election night is the talk of the fashion and style blogs. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s certainly not a “meh”.
Throughout her husband’s long campaign, Ms. Obama has been a fashion darling, in stark contrast to the expensive designer duds of Ms. McCain, and the full-blown $150,000 wardrobe-gate surrounding Sarah Palin. Hopefully, she will continue to wear accessible clothing, such as the J. Crew ensemble she impressed us with on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Along with the rest of the world, in the coming months I’ll be watching attentively as our new President tackles some of the serious issues facing our country. I will also be faithfully watching the style moves of our new “Commander in Sheath.”
