THIS will go down in history as the dress I wore when I saw Michelle Obama. In person. It wasn’t the same day these pictures were taken, but a M’Obama dress must be worn again and again. That morning, I honestly thought about my outfit in terms of “would Michelle like this?” even though I knew there was zero chance she would actually see me up in the cheap seats among 12,000 other people. But I guess she just has that effect on people – you want her to be proud of you even if she doesn’t know you exist. If Mrs. O ever does a speaking engagement near you, I highly highly highly encourage you to go, because she is an amazing and inspiring woman whether or not your political views match up. I also highly encourage you to wear navy stripes. Just because they’re cute.

For those of you not from the Midwest or somewhere else with a cold climate, I should explain that here, 48 degrees and sun in January or February is the equivalent of 80 degrees. We frolic around without coats, open our sun roofs, and go out for froyo. (Actually, I didn’t go out for froyo last Sunday…what a horrible oversight. Won’t happen again.)

I figured I wouldn’t get to wear this top (which is called the “Sarah” by the way) until April, but when the opportunity presented itself last weekend, I took it. It was nice having a Sunday Funday with actual sun. We went out for brunch, went to the movies (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is incredible), did a little shopping, then did what all hip young couples do on the weekend: hit up Trader Joe’s to get ingredients for our cauliflower crust pizzas. #TURNT
