While my housemates were glued to the television screen as President Obama gave his State of the Union address last night I found it hard to not notice the different fashion trends throughout the audience. It seemed to me that people faced the dilemma of not clashing while wearing red white and blue all in one outfit. Their solution? Wear purple! Between, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi’s lilac suit and what looked like Vice President Biden’s coordinated purple tie the color of the night was everywhere. Michelle Obama even sported the color in her Isaac Mizrahi high-waisted bubble skirt dress. Another popular trend in the audience: Neon, especially yellow, colored suits. Politicians in neon? I’m not sure how I feel about that…
