Mrs. Obama Arrives in Hawaii

Well - this is a ( nice ) departure from the T-shirt and dowdy, unflattering shorts ensemble worn on the plane last family trip.

Pretty color, without being too electric. Empire styles can often look too maternity, so one must be careful. It has to be just the right cut, fit, and fabrication.

This dress, not taken too seriously, lends itself to a "mature sundress" look. It's not bad.

I do have to add that, though I love turtlenecks, I am not a huge fan of a boat neck cut. It's just awkward, too much fabric, without being here nor there.
