GET UPDATES FROM Mary Tomer
Mary Tomer, “Mrs. T," is a contributing editor and co-founder of www.mrs-o.org, a website dedicated to following Michelle Obama’s fashion.

At a very young age, thanks to her mother, Mary acquired a studied fascination with an earlier style icon in the political arena: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, aka “Jackie O.”

Suddenly captivated this year by Michelle Obama’s arrival on the national stage, Mary perceived the style and influence connections between the two "Mrs. O’s". If Mary was this taken by Michelle Obama's sense of style, scores of other women must be too – the genesis of www.mrs-o.org.

Monthly scrutiny of Vogue magazine, practiced NYC window shopping and a few fashion tipsters help Mary and www.mrs-o.org keep an ever-evolving, up-to-the-minute record of what and who the "new Mrs. O" is wearing.
