Chic stripes by Marc Jacobs are all the rage for the mature, sophisticated crowd!
Garcelle Beauvais recently attended an event at Sunset Marquis in a striped Marc by Marc Jacobs Simone skirt–an abbreviated version of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Simone dress First Lady Michelle Obama wore on a trip to Brazil:

While Garcelle wore her skirt with a saucy tank, gold clutch, and light toned pumps, our First Lady accented her option with a cardigan, bright bag, and plexi bangles.
The bright multicolored striped silk pieces exude vibrancy and are perfectly fun options for the summer. They both boast full skirts for easy movement.
Which do you prefer?

I love both versions but Michelle is giving it a more day to day wearable feel…I feel like Garcelle skirt will only work on certain body types where as First Lady’s is more “well rounded”.

They both look great, but Garcelle is pulling first in my book. They both look pulled the look off for their different lifestyles.

The First Lady wears it better. She is styled from head to toe and drenched with attitude. I live for her lucite. She is selling womanly confidence.

Michelle O. Even though Garcelle looks great I’ am not a fan of the puff at the sides of the skirt it makes her look bigger than what she is
