in these uncertain times, one thing is certain: Michelle Obama knows her own style. from casual to dressy, the first lady knows what looks best on her and realizes that it's ok to wear your favorite pieces over again. she admits to loving fashion and spending money on shoes like any other woman who loves shoes, and i think it's safe to say america has really looked to her as being a style icon.
there are a few "lessons" from Michelle (based on her clothing choices alone) that you can adopt into your own style:
• wear bold colors: from head-to-toe hot pink and lemon yellow, bright colors photograph well and brighten your skin tone.
• belt it: if your waist is a small part on your frame, wearing a bold belt will show it off.

• mix high with low: is it ok to wear Gap with Michael Kors? absolutely! you don't have to break the bank on a cute cardigan.

• wear your favorites over and over: never repeating an outfit is so passé! Michelle wears her wardrobe favorites often.

Michelle Obama is too big a woman to wear those shrunken cardigans. Neither do I think that the Tracy Feith dress is flattering to her. She looks best with the belted sweaters.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Michelle Obama is a grown woman and she can wear what she likes. I don't agree with everything she wears, but she is not trying to please me. She has her style, and I appaulled her for wearing what she likes, to heck with what people think. She is her own woman, and I am so proud of her for sticking to her guns. Love you First Lady.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Obama is a public figure, and when she makes a public appearance in her role as First Lady, she is representing all of US. So it matters what she wears and how she looks.
