Presidential Pink

While watching the conclusion of round two in the Presidential debates, I couldn't help but notice Anne Romney and Michelle Obama were both looking radiant in bright pink. I wondered if it was an "Uh-oh! Can't-believe-we-wore-the-same-prom-dress moment" or if perhaps, and more likely, it was a symbolic color-coded support for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

In my humble picky opinion, I believe both shades were a little too flamingo-fluorescent. Don't get me wrong, both gorgeous ladies pulled it off quite nicely, but I would prefer to wear a more flattering yet equally vibrant hue--preferably one that did not require sunglasses.

With all this talk about the economy, I just had to take a peek at the price tags. According to a recent Fox News article, Ann Romney's Oscar de la Renta dress retails for $1,690.00 and Michelle Obama's ensemble from Michael Kors rings up to $3,290.00.

Glad to see they are both doing their part to stimulate the retail industry :)

Get the look for less~

Dress #1, from Saks Fifth Avenue, is a Trina Turk with a tucked jewel neckline and cap sleeves. I love the femine above-the-knee hem and subtle cinched waist. Price tag? $298.00

Dress #2, from Neiman Marcus, is a Lilly Pulitzer (famous for her ultra-feminine designs) with ruffled sleeves and a relaxed shift silhouette. Even better price tag: $98.00 (This one is in my Yesboxx).
