Constantly on the quest for versatile dresses that can transition from work to a dinner date, to a night out with the girls, we thought there was no better (and affordable) example of what to wear than this Alma Dress W/ Belt, $22.80 at Forever 21. The belt/top/skirt combo is enough to make it our go-to piece when there’s not enough time in the morning to drink a cup of coffee, let alone process what to throw together to wear! Add $5.95 for s&h.

Y-3 Ruched Running Tank, $71 Shipped at eLUXURY.com
It goes without question that this top will never be used as an actual “running” tank – unless you consider running to be briskly speed-walking to the closest Starbucks for a venti red-eye! We’d rather pair this Y-3 Ruched Running Tank, $89 (was $225) at eLUXURY.com with a cute pencil skirt or black skinny jeans. Plus, when you add it to your cart, an extra 20% off is deducted and your given free shipping, making the tank now $71.29 Hurry though — the sale ends SOON!!!!!

Fashion Pulse Stylist: Michelle Obama
When the Obamas get to the white house in January, the change that ensues will not only be in politics. Michelle Obama has become a fashion icon and will no doubt change the image of the typical first lady from stuffy and conservative to fashionable and funky. Over the course of the campaign, we’ve seen Mrs. Obama in colorful and modern frocks by Thakoon, Narciso Rodriquez, and Moschino. However, Michelle knows that you don’t have to spend $150,000 to look great. She set her style precedent and penchant for affordable clothing by appearing on The View in a dress from WhiteHouse/Black Market that cost only $148! We’ve picked out a few looks that we think would be perfect for Michelle’s new role in the White House, in case she is seeking some Fashion Pulse Stylist advice!
For important events, we think Michelle would look fabulous in this Michael Kors Gardenia Floral dress, $1,895, from NET-A-PORTER. Purple is a great color for her, and she has already proven she can rock any print. For a classic look with a twist, we equally love this Temperley London Purdey Dress, ($1,295, also NET-A-PORTER). For inauguration day we think the perfect pick for the First Lady would be this Carolina Herrera Aubergine Pleated Dress ($2,790, Neiman Marcus).
For everyday wear, we know Michelle loves J.Crew and has been spotted in brightly colored pants and form-fitting cardies, so we think these City-fit Luxe Trousers, $69.50, in saffron yellow, paired with the Victoria Ruffle Shirt,$89.50, both from J.Crew is the perfect mix of her classy but fun style. To top it off, we would add this Abstract Flower Pin ($22.50 Express) to show off her ability to skillfully accessorize. We also think the First Lady would look chic yet approachable in this It’s-My-Party Polka Dot Skirt ($168, Anthropologie) paired with the Robert Rodriquez Cashmere Cardigan ($216, Nordstrom). No word yet on weather the First Lady-Elect will request our stylist services, but either way, we think that when it comes to fashion, she can.
