Inaugural Weekend Fashion

Four more years of glamour! After this current term is over, there will have been 12 years straight of a fashion forward First Lady. As far as I’m concerned, Melania can do no wrong. Powder blue Ralph Lauren cashmere with matching powder blue pumps and gloves? The fashion world was agog, paying Melania the ultimate compliment by comparing her outfit to that of Jackie O’s inauguration look.

I was at first shocked by the seeming simplicity of Melania’s Inaugural Ball gown, as it wasn’t much of a gown. However, I’ve come to realize how well she was expressing her true classic/chic style in her collaboration with Hervé Pierre, the former creative director of Carolina Herrera.

This time around we have the added bonus of a grown-up, fashionable first daughter, Ivanka. Her Inaugural weekend wardrobe by Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta was spot on. Hopefully the general population of DC will look at these glamorous moms and decide it is time to up their clothing and style game by calling in a Personal Stylist/Personal Shopper/Image Consultant. We don’t care what you call us, Kyle and I are here to help!
