Michelle Obama may have some of the country's most-wanted designers on speed dial, but that doesn't mean the First Lady doesn't still shop in regular stores like the rest of us.

Yesterday, she paired a L'Wren Scott cardigan with a $59.99 shirt from Talbots! Take a look at the outfit and let us know if you like the look:

Guess U need fluff pieces if the person does NOTHING but for the obama's that's good. If it were Bush AOL would be making up scandals about him. They are afraid to talk about them because the blacks will call AOL racist to stop them from criticizing their criminality in abortion. She looks bad in anything she wears because of her mean face.

Stuff and Jean,

I think both of you have some major issues, you claim the Obama's are ruining this country... Wasn't it your precious Bush that ran this country into the ground and no one did a thing, he was out playing golf while this country was going straight to hell. He shattered this economy and he did not care? I'm sick of everyone blaming Obama.. would you be blaming McCain and Palin if they had gotten elected? I think not. And mimsyc when did Michelle Obama said she hated America? This post is suppose to be about her clothing and some are sort of okay most I would not wear, she does need to stand up straight, that is right but saying she has no class, and all kind of the unnecessary things I've seen posted Goodness people get it together.

I thought Mrs Obama was looking better but after the pictures i just saw, i was wrong. A fashion Icon she is not. Jackie Kennedy, now there was a Icon. I hope Mrs Obama gets some help.

Thats really funny. All the president's and their wives earned the money they got by working for it. We really need Neville Chamberlain in the White House. This is by far the worst president you idiots have ever elected. Welcome to Third World Nation status America.

Michelle Obama brings class and elegance to the White House.

It's really too bad that ignorant trolls have to frequent pages about the First Family and make idiotic comments. I can only assume that those folks are just jealous sore losers like most RWNJ.

Whether you approve or disapprove of her husband's performance, the positions of the President and the First Lady deserve our respect. To make a comment that references the worst time in our nation's history during which slavery was practiced is beyond being racist,, it is truly ignorant. How sad that this display of hate still exists in our country. There are far more important things going on in our country than whether Mrs Obama is a fashion icon. It doesn't matter whether we like how she dresses or not, but it does matter that our children and grandchildren are living in a country where the color of one's skin creates this level of hatred and animosity that several have demonstrated here.

One: I'm positive most of us have had our own good and bad fashion moments.
Two: No one can complain about her "inexpensive" Talbots shirt being still too costly and that she should try places like Walmart or Target..but then complain about her wearing shorts and sneakers.
Three: This country would be better off if people forgot their political motives and remembered whats right and wrong.
