Deeeep breath. Ok. Remember that guy I mentioned last time we e-spoke? You know, the one I wept over while listening to Taylor Swift and painting my bathroom? Well, eleven weeks on, I think I’m almost-maybe ready to discuss the situation with you a bit more in-depth.

The Inaugural Ball is one of the First Lady‘s first official appearance in that role. And whether we like it or not, what she wears pkats an integral part in shaping her public image for those four years to come.

It’s official: Chelsea Clinton wore Vera Wang when marrying Marc Mezvinsky yesterday in upstate New York, as reported on People.com. Mezvinsky wore a Burberry suit.
Chelsea’s mom, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wore Oscar.
