At every Presidential inauguration the President and his wife, and much more so his wife, get either raked over the coals or lauded for how fashionably they are dressed. At Tuesday's inauguration Mrs. Obama didn't pull any punches with her vibrant, "lemon grass" dress. As I have learned she likes to kick the fashion world in the stomach by using relatively unknown designers for her wardrobe at modest costs to her wallet. What I especially love about her choices is that they are colorful and different, and that no matter what others think she's not afraid to stand out in them. On top of that she sends her daughters down the same path, putting them in beautiful colors from lucky J. Crew. Madame President, you are
a kitten and a tiger rolled up into one. On the flip side, she has not helped her husband. Barrack Obama dresses in the traditional, boring, dark suits, as you saw at his inauguration, and like the Presidents before him. Mr. Obama's ties are colorful, thank goodness, in a solid red or solid blue kind of way.
But it's time for change, right?
Change is what President Obama talks about. So this has given me an idea....and hope. Barrack Obama has sent a message that he wants environmental change, so here's his window of opportunity. Like John F. Kennedy and Jackie Onassis did in fashion before them, the first family can influence and lead the world in a change for a better environment. Second-hand clothing is one key to this. I don't mean any old Wal-Mart sweatshirt. I mean vintage clothing. It's colorful, bold, unique, environmentally friendly, in style now in many circles, and would be economically meaningful to vintage clothing businesses. Many would take notice and follow the first couple's lead.
How could anyone challenge the President on this when the talk from his heart equals his actions? For example, I think this 1970's
men's vintage suit combination would look very dapper on President Obama. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, sent her own message at the inauguration. Women across the U.S. are making calls to find copies of that hat she wore. This is the kind of change that I voted for--my President to take the lead and make this world a greener place, and look good doing it.
