Mrs. O

This summer I noticed First Lady Michelle Obama wearing a couple of amazing statement necklaces. Today while browsing Saks online, I found a necklace that looked similar to the one she wore (below). To my surprise, they were by the same designer, Fenton Dana Lorenz. I love that she wore the necklace with a classic outfit. It was a perfect way to make the outfit edgy and make a statement without looking trendy.

Michelle also wore Fenton necklaces while visiting Moscow and on the December 2009 issue of Glamour Magazine.
In the issue, where she is named 'Women of the Year,' she gives some great dating advice to "all the single ladies, all the single ladies. Now put ya hands up!"

“Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? That’s the advice I would give to women: Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married.”

I found a blog that follows the fashions of Mrs. O. Check it out Mrs. O-What and Whom She's Wearing
