State Of The Union and THIS DRESS!!!!!

    Well President Barack H Obama final State Of Union Address was very moving, reassuring, fact finalizing, and his greatest one. BUT there was a majestic elephant in the room and it was none other than our First Lady, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama!!!! I was certinaly interested in everything my President was saying but I was praying the camarea man would pan over to this 51 year old lawyer and writer known to us as FLOTUS and get stuck! 

     Who was she wearing? What was she wearing? Where can I get what she was wearing? What color was she wearing? AND SO MUCH MORE..... Well I have all the answers to your questions.

    FLOTUS wore an amazing Narciso Rodriguez Banded-Bodice Midi Dress. Narciso fine tuned his craft as a designer under the watchful eyes of Donna Karen and Calvin Klein before launching his own line in 1997. He is known for his style to be the forward edge of fashion while always being wearable. He dresses many different celebrities such as Julia Roberts and Julia Louis-Dryefus, but now FLOTUS has allowed him to grace her amazing body.

    This Banded-Bodice Midi Dress was simple, sexy, and very ladylike. I get extremely uncomfortable and turned off when it comes to the word banded mixed with the word dress because I am over these Herve Banded dresses but Narciso did us justine. The color was not yellow, organge, or tangerine which were some of the colors thrown out there but it was Marigold! A fun fact about this color and plant is the name Marigold "Mary Gold" comes from the Virgin Mary; interesting??? Maybe, Maybe Not...  OK...

      The description of this amazing dress is a textured wool crepe midi dress, slight funnel neckline (not a short turtle neck), sleeveless with moderate shoulder coverage, fitted banded bodice, slightly flared skirt, straight hem, an exposed zipper in the back (which I love!!!!!), and it was made in Italy. Where can you find this dress? Unfortunately this dress is completely SOLD OUT at Neiman Marcus. To me, this is awesome, it certainly shows the influence FLOTUS and just a person in general can have on someone.

       

        Concluding this message for the third time like a baptist preacher, this dress is absolutely beautiful, this designer is abssolutely talented and someone that I sincerly look up to. FLOTUS hair and makeup was incredibly flawless, and im sure she had a great show one; but what I believe made her stick out was her confidence. The look of confidence will absolutely take you places that a Jimmy Choo shoe can't. Her confidence exudes out of her pores and it shines out of her like the Glory of God. Ladies and Gentleman, lets not just be about labels (although labels are wonderful, WONDERFUL), but lets have confidence in who we are and what he carry within us.

Adding A Pop Of Color

Adding a pop of color to a mute outfit is very simple but you must have the right foundation. A house built on a weak or no foundation desires destruction from the beginning and so does a look you are trying to accomplish. When pulling for others I always find a piece that I can build from whether its a purse, a pair of shoes, an incredible Vintage dress, or even a great pair of statement earings. An incredible colorful statment piece is like having a Crayola crayon box and you're now choosing from all of these colorful crayons to create a beautiful picture. There is nothing worse than seeing someone with all these colors on looking like a Mexican Sombrero, this is completely out of order. A brown dress, blue shoes, silver purse, and a black coat. LOOSE THE MINDS OF GOD's PEOPLE satan. You are a liar and truth "ain't" in you.

Slap your neighbor who looks a mess and say "it's called Cohesiveness". Ask yourself, why would I put these colors together and where am I getting these colors from? Just like you need a foundation when putting on your clothes such as a bra, girdles, and underwear so you can look decent in your clothes, its imperative to have a color foundation. Oh let me describe and explain what cohesive means; well integrated, closely united. Let's look PUT TOGETHER...

While modernizing a look for a client, this idea popped into my mind about adding a pop of color. I'm really a monochromatic individual, where I love all winter white, all black, all brown, or different shades of each but in the same family. So while pulling this look together I already had this incredile 1950s Vintage Knit Blue Dress. This wouldn't be considered a nude color but being that its completely one solid vibrant color, to me it's like having a white sheet of paper and now it's time to create a great look.

If you follow my blog or Instagram (@thee_vintage_guy) than you would know I love a Mary Frances Handbag, if you don't follow me then you wouldn't know and shame on you. I took this amazing colorful Mary Frances handbag and started to create. I pulled colors from and and just let my Holy Ghost (imagination) have it's way.

Before I conclud this blog, just remember, when adding pops of color get a coloful foundation first and then color away. Interested or needing help with your wardrobe or a special outfit for an event, email me at thevintageguy87@gmail.com!
