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.
