It’s official.  Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States.

And it is also official that the new First Lady is kicking off an era of some doubtless excellent style for the White House.

Today’s Isabel Toledo outfit was nothing less than the elegant chic I am coming to expect from Michelle Obama.  And not only do I love that she had a pashmina sewn into the coat’s lining to add some warmth, but I love that she paired the yellow outfit with green gloves (from J. Crew) and green shoes [ETA: After further research, the shoes appear to be Jimmy Choo's Glacier pumps.  Since they're from the fall/winter 2008 collection, they're already scarce on the ground, and after their appearance at the inaugural festivities, I imagine they'll only get harder to find.]

Check it out.

 

And so, in my own oath, I, Jitterbugbaby, do solemnly swear that I will continue to bring you news of Michelle Obama’s footwear choices, which will henceforth be labelled with the newly-created category of “Michelle Obama Shoes”.

There’s a promise you can hold me to.
