60 second review: The wardrobe of Michelle Obama

Ok, so this story may have been somewhat flogged to death; but how could we possibly not write a little something about the wardrobe of America’s leading lady?!
Personally, I have a sneaky suspicion that Michelle may have some kind of personal crusade to bring back the cardigan. She’s clearly a massive fan and you’d be hard pressed to find an occasion when she’s NOT in a bold coloured cardy. Hell, she even wore a black one to meet the Queen of England!
However, it’s not just the cardigan that seems to be a staple of her wardrobe, as she will more often than not team them with a tailored skirt and waist belt. In doing so, she successfully manages to merge the lines between businesswoman and housewife. Mrs Obama is a clear testament to the notion that ‘If it ‘aint broke, don’t fix it!’
Unlike her predecessors, this fashion savvy first lady has found herself the muse of many a designer. Take, for example, Elie Tahari who, for his A/W line, has created the “Michelle” dress. The said dress is a one-shoulder cocktail dress in a vibrant orange and purple print.
A look at her wardrobe, brief as this may be, would not be complete without a quick mention of her shoes. Ever the practical dresser, Obama is seldom viewed in anything but a low court. There is a particular pair of tempting green Jimmy Choo pumps that she often steps out in but I, for one, can’t help but be a little disappointed that she doesn’t step out in something a little more mouthwatering, like a Louis Vuiton killer heel. Having said that, I must give credit where it’s due; the poor woman does have to stand on her feet for hours on end, meeting and greeting with her husband (you may have heard of him, his name is Barrack…)
What are your thoughts on Michelle’s fashion sense? Do you love it or loathe it? Check out the new forum’s on MizzTissa’s shoe blog and join in the discussion!
