The boring days of ho-hum hues are over. There’s a new lady in charge, and she’s stepping forward in befittingly bright colors. Michelle Obama sparkled in brightly colored dresses ranging from tangerine orange, turquoise, canary yellow and plum purple along the campaign trail. Playful patterns and fitted silhouettes made for standout fashions and added a punch of personality to what is often seen as politically correct garb.
