Michelle Obama in Naeem Khan for State Dinner
We all know that we have a one fashionable first lady! Time after time she stuns the world with her chic and classy attire (except the whole shorts controversy) and Tuesday night was no exception. For the Obama administration first state dinner Mrs. Obama wore an elegant and strapless gown by little known Indian designer Naeem Khan.
To balance out the elegant yet glamorous number she kept her make-up natural looking, her hair in a sophisticated updo, chandelier earrings, and gold diamond bangles on her left arm. She looked absolutely flawless!

Men wearing Kilts, Skinny Jeans, & Meggings...Oh My!
So I was watching the Tyra Banks show yesterday and at some point she had a mini fashion show showcasing haute trends for women and men for the fall/winter season. As former ANTM contestants modeled pieces like cute boyfriend sweaters and androgynous suits the men modeled kilts, skinny jeans, and meggings. Apparently, men wearing kilts, skinny jeans, and meggings are in. I mean I know men wearing skinny jeans are in because I've seen petite men wearing them all over the place but kilts and meggings?
Now kilts are a scottish tradition and that's fine but what about passing it as a fashion trend in the US? Hmm and although Marc Jacobs is one of the designers who debuted kilts on the runway, it still looked very awkward seeing this sexy "manly" man on the Tyra Show wearing a "haute" kilt. I know that fashion is all about art, expression, & reinventing the wheel but men wearing kilts? IDK. It takes an extremely bold and confident gent to feel comfortable wearing one of these. This trend will take some time getting use to..
On to meggings which are leggings for men. This trend has taken Tokyo, Paris, London, and now NY by storm. Grown men are wearing meggings not just to keep warm but as fashion statements. Some wear them under shorts while others are wearing them as an alternate to jeans, trousers what have you. I would need to desensitize myself to this trend as well but it would be easier to accept meggings than kilts.
This year has been the year of androgynous pieces. It is more common and cute to see a woman in boyfriend jeans, sweaters, and pant-suits but what about the other way around? Is it as easily acceptable to see our male counterparts in skinny jeans, kilts, and meggings or should the androgynous look only cater to women?
