I like simple fashion. My wardrobe is full of black color clothing. It may seem to be boring, but I find myself more confident and elegant with black color dresses, T-shirts, and black jeans. Imagine a bowl of plain salad with nothing in it - it definitely does not look good, but if it contains some tomatoes with dressing, it is more likable. This example shows how I do not forget to give just a little bit of personality by adding some colors or jewelry to my black base. I like to paint my nails with bright red color, wear a red lipstick, tangerine color shoes, oversized twinkle jewelry or leopard waist belt are the things, which make a sustainable contribution to my look.
On January 21, 2013, during inaugural ceremony, Michelle Obama began to wear a navy blue coat custom designed by Thom Browne to church services and the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, which was inspired by the fabric of a man’s silk tie. She also wore a necklace by Cathy Waterman with the shoes from J. Crew. Then, First Lady added the jeweled belt from J. Crew to her Thom Browne’s outfit and purple gloves, which she wore after the church and prayer service. A jeweled belt that she wore along with her navy blue coat looked amazing and absolutely stunning. The look was simple but refined with bright punches of color and texture.
On the same day, Michelle Obama was wearing Jason Wu’s red velvet chiffon halter gown at the Inaugural Ball. This beautiful outfit gave an opportunity to see Obama’s famous strong arms. She had beautiful accessories such as a handmade highly-colored ring with a diamond by jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald, and shoes by Jimmy Choo. She wore a minimal number of jewelry and still looked glamorous and fabulous.
