Michelle Obama as fashion icon: the first 100 days

It didn’t take these 100 days for Michelle Obama to establish herself as a style icon.

Here are some fashion tips which we can learned form her.

Mrs. O loves all shades of orange. Tone it down by pairing orange with navy, orange with gray, or orange and turquoise for summertime appeal. Orange and white is always fresh. Mrs. Obama doesn’t go overboard with makeup, but believes manicures and pedicures are essential to good grooming. She favors a soft, blush polish on her fingers, then pops the color on her toes.

Mrs. Obama has turned the brooch into fresh fashion accessory. Pins are an important part of her style: she wears them at the peak of a V-neck, in clusters around a neckline or to soften the edge of a collar. We’ve been told to stay away from horizontal stripes, but the widening effect is a lot less pronounced with varying stripe widths. Mrs. O. has resuscitated the cardigan as a preferable alternative to the jacket. When Mrs. O finds an accessory she loves, she isn’t afraid to wear it again and again.
