Get Michelle Obama's Look for Less

Michelle Obama has a simple and elegant style that women across America are already copying. The black and white sundress from White House | Black Market that Michelle wore on The View was in such high demand that it was backordered for months. And we can't wait to see what she wears for the inauguration! At 5'11", Michelle is a tall woman, and she uses her height to her advantage, wearing bold splashes of color that could be overwhelming on a less confident dresser. She is also keeps things simple, with clean lines and classic silhouettes.

She's a practical shopper, looking to stores like J. Crew for affordable pieces, and mixing separates to keep things fresh. And Michelle is also a great fashion inspiration for plus sized women, always dressing to flatter her tall and curvy shape.

It's easy to get Michelle's look, and to do it on a budget. In the gallery, four outfits and the matching plus-sized look-for-less from One Stop Plus.

What hole did you crawl out of? This is 2009 not 1969. You are the BIG ASSSSS!

What is your problem?! You have issues. You shouldn't be hating on her. Seriously, there are a lot of other people you could be hating, like yourself.

It doesn't really matters if you stand her or not, she is the first lady, weather you like her or not, she lives in the White House, you probably live in a white trash trailer park, she went to Harvard, you didn't even finish high school, and last but not least, she looks great, you probably are missing teeth, have a bear belly, no ass and most likely southern accent.

Mrs. Obama is very beautiful and wears the clothes very well. She looks better in the form fitting outfits. Congrats to the new first family.

Congratulations to the first family. Michelle looks wonderful in all of the outfits that I have seen her in. She makes even the most economical outfit look expensive. People need to quit being so negative, it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Lets build walls not tear them down.

I find it humerous that you are calling Mrs. Obama stylish. I can't wait for someone that has style to start dressing her.

I just want to say that the people of this city should stop talking about Michelle's clothes. Laura Bush did nothiing to bring any class or make any fashion statement when she was First Lady. I won't comment on our former President. No, she's no fashion plate, but she dresses the way she feel's is flattering to her. So let her be. Instead of talking and making hateful remark's about our new President and his family, we need to try and figure out how we are going to keep our homes and retirement benefit's for now. So please don,t respond back with you're negative remarks. Respect my opionion just like I respect yours. Thank-you

I think Mrs Obama looks like a bouncer in the sleeveless dresses. I don't think it is flattering to keep showing those BIG shoulders, besides, armpits are ugly and her upper arm flaps back and forth when she waves. No class.

Since Michele Obama has made it clear she only cares about blacks I can't stand her! She attended a racist church for over 20 years that did not welcome whites, she was never proud of the United States as an adult until her husband was voted as president so if she hates me because of my white skin color I can't appreciate and bow at her racist feet! She will not acknowledge that whites have suffered reverse racism and more pain sometimes than she could ever imagine! My family came from Ireland and were persecuted by the English and my grandma nearly starved to death in Brooklyn so her children had to go live in an orphanage. They all made it with hard work and perseverence, not by govornement handouts! That is what this stimulus will create...more hands looking for freebies....Doesnt' she know that anyone can make it if they try....the more handouts we give out the more handouts people want...we are lazy by nature and freebies are the ruin of this country, and nothing else! And Michele and Obama are now the king and queen of freebies handouts! So I can't stand her for the way she is ruining our childrens's future with this phenomenal debt...who cares about her style!

Stop thinking like an idiot.

To m:

Move the hell back to Ireland, and you will not have to hate America's first lady. Then you can find fault with Ireland's first lady. You sound like a five year old.

M, 2-28-2009, 12:11AM

If her husband didn't just destroy our children's future with an additional 1 trillion dollars debt I might care about the racist, Michlele's style. Her husband is planning on spending another 2 trillion dollars of our hard earned money in the form of handouts to their friends so why are we angry! They will be spending all of our future earnings on interest on this debt! Please don't ask me to like these theives!

Grow up. get a life. You probally can't stand yourself.
poor thing. I feel sorry for you.

Gee, 3-04-2009, 10:32AM

One thing we all need to remember is that the president had all this mess dumped into his lap when he took office. It took George Bush eight years to derail this train and now the president has to try and fix it the best way he knows how. Stop being so critical of this new president, he hasn't even been in the White House seventy five days yet. Give him a chance.
