The Look for Less: Michelle Obama

    Our new First Lady cemented her reputation as a sophisticated follower of fashion when she chose this sunny yellow ensemble from designer Isabel Toledo for her husband's swearing in ceremony (she ordered the dress and matching coat from Ikram, one of her favorite Chicago boutiques). On her feet? Jimmy Choos, natch. At Stylelist, we love Michelle's taste but, with no history making events on our social calendar, we can't really justify any splurges. So we asked Amber Rodriguez to show us how to steal her style.

    This metallic shift dress will give you the same slimming silhouette that flattered our the new First Lady.
    Gold Wave Embossed Shift Dress, $183.60, www.Bluefly.com

    For added warmth (and sparkle!) layer a long cardigan over the dress.
    Spiegel Signature Sequined Cashmere Tunic, $199, www.spiegel.com

    Forgo a necklace and instead add a touch of embellishment to the dress with a glamorous pin. ABS by Allen Schwartz Chic Rock Multi Stone Pin, $74.86, www.zappos.com

    Jimmy Choo style at a fraction of the price! Finish off your Michelle O-inspired look with green patent pumps.
    Nine West Barb pump, $62.06, www.zappos.com

Lilly is my favorite go-to gal for great summer frocks and winter bright sweaters. Last year, for the first time, my little girls and I all went out in matching Lilly. I can't wait to do it again, her clothes simply make me happy.

I Love Love Love Lilly~ I remember the first time I went into a Lilly Store with my grandmother in 1971 in Sarasota Fl. I have been a believer ever since~ I love the material, the colors, the shapes and styles~ I love all things lilly~ Since I am on my feet 12 hours a day, I even ordered pink dansko Clogs to wear with my Lilly overalls for easter Sun. one year~ Everyone loved it so now every Easter my co-workers and our customers love to see what I wear on Easter Sun. (I manage a restaurant) I wore Lilly to both Highschool and College graduation~ Love Lilly and you too Martha

I had never discovered Lilly until my daughter one day introduced me to it. Being 58 I thought, I was too old for some styles, and yes I am, but since that day, I am a devoted shopper. The colors, whimsical attitude of the garments, and full of life style make them a hit, no matter what the cost.
