A fashion and beauty maven says women should look to the first lady for inspiration on how to stock their own closets with style.
Mikki Taylor, the editor at large for Essence magazine, even bestows a new title on Michelle Obama in her new book, Commander in Chic: Every Woman’s Guide to Managing her Style Like a First Lady.
Taylor, who first became attracted to Obama’s fashion sense while working with her on a 2006 magazine story, says that unlike other presidents’ wives, “Michelle Obama effectively dresses for Michelle Obama. She dresses to delight herself. She’s not so influenced by the trends.”
Even when that means rebelling against one of the most blatant fashion faux pas around: wearing the same outfit again and again. Obama, 47, has been known to rock the same frock twice (or sometimes three times). She donned the same Thakoon floral dress at an October event that she had worn two times before in 2009.
But Taylor calls it making a “repeat performance,” and says, “You’ve never seen that before, and you really don’t see it from women in the public eye. A great dress is a great dress. A great look is a great look. Why not wear it again?”
And the author, who has worked with countless models and celebs, has some tricks of the trade that she’s picked up from studying the first lady’s style to help Washington women become their own Capitol Hill fashionistas.

And so am I, Waaah haahahahahahahahah.....
I knew it! The so called “Beauty Expert” is deluded by race.
Me thinks the LOUT is missing a SNOUT!
If that's "chic" then two things come to mind:
You owe me a new spleen.
Ha!
lol
If she ever walks into a wall in the dark, they will have to slide her over to the door to get her loose.
With regards to Michelle, my Mother had two great sayings...”her taste is all in her mouth” and “you look like a cartoon.” Thanks Mom, both apply in this case.
A bit of photoshop action there... but funny nonetheless!
The two on the left have been taught to comport themselves as ladies.
I remember reading about the shopping habits of another first lady. Mrs Truman did her shopping from the Montgomery Ward catalog. They are out of business today. I susppose our first lady Mrs Obama wouldn’t have a problem shopping from a Spiegels catalog. She can still keep the title of “Commander in Chic” or “Capitol Hill Fashionistas”.
If your name is in the “to” field you know what you posted.
Please refrain from those type of comments and have fun criticizing the story as many have.
Countering the leftist spin about Michelle Obama is an important part of exposing what the media does to prop up their chosen figures.
Thanks for your help.
