Since Jason Wu has been making headlines as of late for Michelle Obama wearing own of his dresses to the Inaugural Ball, I thought it was apropos to feature one of the most distinctive looks from his Spring/Summer 2009 collection. The play on sheer sheer sheer, and how it is treated so delicately without being revealing makes this dress truly a standout item. The soft green hue isn’t quite an emerald shade nor a spring green, hence this dress can both be worn in the winter and the spring seasons. The skirt’s layered aesthetic gives a fullness that creates shape, without adding weight to the body. I think The First Lady would certainly approve of this dress selection, although pairing it with more sensible shoes may be in order.
