On his first full day in office, President Obama spent part of the morning at the Washington National Cathedral, placing his own stamp on the traditional National Prayer Service with a larger-than-usual group of interfaith religious leaders participating and newly written prayers meant to emphasize liberty and diversity.
The invitation-only service, which has followed presidential inaugurals in the United States on and off since George Washington's swearing-in, started just after 10 a.m. and continued for nearly an hour and a half.
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, who wore a bold black-and-silver patterned dress, walked into the stately church with Vice President Biden and his wife, Jill Biden. They took seats in the front row alongside Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Obama's nominee for secretary of state, and her husband, former president Bill Clinton. the rest

Who designed the dress that First Lady Michelle Obama wore this morning to church?? It was a lovely black and silver full dress. But, where did she buy it?
Lovely? I did not care at all for that dress, entirely iappropriate for a prayer service. The print was loud and unflattering, she looked like a haus frau! I respect her right to dress as she pleases..we are lucky to live in this country...but as a rep of the US, she needs some help with her choices. Avocado green shoes and gloves...puh.lease-cream would have been so much more elegant. Not that the yellowish color was that attractive in the first place. And the sweet inaugural gown showed off her beautiful skin but honestly the cut wasn't flattering to her at all...fasten your seat belt,...it's going to be a bumpy fashion ride!
