Like the rest of our nation, and the world, I am mesmerized by the significance of the inauguration of our new president, Barak Obama.  While I’m not going to get political on you, I do want to talk about how beautifully appropriate Michelle Obama always looks.

Finally we have a first lady that is more than just a wife.  A woman that is intelligent, accomplished on her own, beautiful, stylish, and not afraid of color or taking fashion risks.  A strong woman and mother, a graceful woman that is feminine, yet still conservatively appropriate in her clothing choices.   What a perfect example of a smart, intelligent, graceful, classy, stylish, woman over 40.  She always looks perfectly put together without looking pretentious.  I think every woman, but especially those over 40, have a new fashion icon.  One that isn’t the latest Hollywood celebrity, but one that sets an example for all women.
