that one stray lock is distracting. She's a great speaker, and is getting in some great digs: "doesn't matter how much you make", "the truth matters", talking about her father's MS.

many years ago. She is so elegant and cool, and her sense of style is very fresh and modern. I loved her dress and she was absolutely glowing. Compare that to Ann Romney with her red dress, red nails and red lips, not to mention that nervous giggle.

So tired of the ladies in red or blue dresses.

Now.. all we have to do if find out where it came from. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be something off the rack again!

We have already discussed the significance of Ann Romney’s Oscar de la Renta shirtdress at the Republican National Convention, so fairness demands an examination of Mrs. Obama’s dress, which was made by Tracy Reese. By most accounts, Mrs. Obama came up the winner, in a beautifully fitted dress that seemed a savvy choice in the era of high-definition televisions.

<SNIP>

Even the choice of designer sent a message. Mrs. Obama has frequently worn dresses sent to her by Ms. Reese, a successful self-made businesswoman who happens to be African-American, which on Seventh Avenue is a rare breakthrough. Ms. Reese’s prices are also in the middle ground. While the dress Mrs. Obama wore has not yet been produced for stores, very similar styles from Ms. Reese cost $395 to $450, which fits perfectly with the Democratic pitch to the middle class. Mrs. Obama’s pink pumps were from J. Crew.

Mrs. Romney’s dress, by the way, cost $1,990.
