Happy 50th Birthday, First Lady Michelle Obama! She’ll celebrate the big day on January 17.
As her presidential husband leads and serves the country, her noble place as First Lady has proven to be influential, as well. Mrs. Obama always leads with passion. But among the many important roles in her life and the country, she has also placed her stamp on style. Even though her everyday life comes with unwavering attention, she never fails at serving up impressive head-to-toe looks. From family vacations to public appearances to having dinners with major notables – she dresses the part. Overall, when it comes to style, the FLOTUS scores high for a number of reasons. For starters, she knows what works for her shape. Secondly, she picks items that are timeless and versatile, which is why we love to see her rework items time and time again. Thirdly, Mrs. Obama has a knack for mixing high and low pieces, which is essential for a well-edited closet. So, if your resolution for 2014 has been to recreate your closet – today’s honorable Star Style icon, First Lady Michelle Obama is one you should definitely look to for inspiration.
For your next formal affair, give the impression of ease and elegance in a silk chiffon, Grecian-inspired gown. Obama looked regal in her gown by Marchesa.
There is everything to love about this look! For starters, Mrs. Obama made a classy statement in her over-the-knee boots with a tulip skirt. Her look is modern, classy, and definitely one to copy.
Yes, the FLOTUS has curves and she is not ashamed of them. If you too are curvy and love stripes, but tend to shy away from them, then consider going for a diagonal stripe print. Anything diagonal complements your curves the best.
Who says that you can’t style your coat? If you own a coat that you’ve had for some time and absolutely love, consider giving it a whole new look, by adding a belt, as spotted on the First Lady. Adding new buttons could be another way to give an old favorite, a new flair.
Wide-leg pants are complementary to both curvy figures and lean frames – and are really fabulous on tall women.
Every spring season, fashion trends come and go, but one that will always remain is a floral print.
Dresses with rich embellishments are perfect for luncheon events when it’s important for you to shine amongst your colleagues.
Whether for a Sunday brunch, wedding, or business power move, a skirt suit is essential for making a poised statement.
For a casual business day, well-structured monochromatic separates paired together are ideal for making a polished and professional statement in the office.
Dressing down on the weekends doesn’t mean letting a look totally go. It is possible to dress comfy-chic by pairing a simple straight leg pant with fun prints, and a rockin’ studded boot.
Two things make this dress perfect for the First Lady’s shape. One, anything A-line is perfect for her figure. Secondly, the pleats also complement of her curves.
Have you noticed, how many ways the FLOTUS styled her boots? They look just as hot with a long skirt and cardigan, as they do with her other looks. Another accessory that is making a major statement is her belt which she included in the mix. She really knows how to add her own signature to many outfits.
Metallic is ideal for the day, just as it is for the night.
Although owning a white button-down shirt is a must for any closet, that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Instead, go for one with personality.
Here, the First Lady mixed a plaid skirt with an embellished cardigan, which makes for a creative, yet posh touch.
