A Fashion Icon in the White House (Finally)

- An avid trend-watcher, Erin knows all about the latest fads, styles, and fashions. When she's not prowling really good Marc Jacobs and designer sales (Gilt Group!), she's on the lookout for new online indie shops to share.
Not since Jackie O has there been so much buzz about First Lady fashion. Michelle Obama definitely has a knack for pulling off a classic but trendy look by mixing conventional and edgy looks. She has chosen up and coming designers straight out of fashion school as well as established ones. People are talking as much about her choice of outfits as they are her political views.
Here she chose to go with the wide belt with a pencil skirt when meeting with Puerto Rican first lady Maria Luisa Gandara. Could Hilary have pulled this off? I think not.
She also is really into the puffy sleeve. She has quite a few pieces with the puffy sleeve and pulls it off beautifully.
There has been much debate about the dress that she wore for the inauguration. I think someone was quoted as saying like ‘..it’s an inauguration not prom’ and others said that they expected a different silhouette and more color, but I think it was amazing.
I put together a list of things that I think that Michelle Obama would like. You can check out some of her fav designers as well as my picks- Dress Like Michelle Obama. I’m looking forward to seeing what else she comes up with over the next 4 years!
