Now we can all get Michelle Obama's look!
First Lady's fashion secrets revealed in first book dedicated to her style
Since her husband's inauguration, Michelle Obama's wardrobe has received as much attention in the spotlight as the First Lady herself.
In 2009, she was named as one of the world's most beautiful women. The same year, she was awarded a CFDA gong honouring her role in American fashion - and all while wowing a global audience with her grace, elegance and daring style, championing new designers and supporting U.S. business, and her husband, to boot.
It comes are no surprise, then, that the First Lady's sartorial acumen is the subject of its very own book, Commander in Chic: Every Woman's Guide to Managing her Style like a First Lady.
Written by Mikki Taylor, the hands-on style guide is packed with tips, advice and notes on how to dress like Barack's wife and, in doing so, perhaps emulate a fraction of that famously laid-back self-assuredness.
Speaking with Huffington Post, Ms Taylor said that the idea behind the project was not as a coffee table book, but rather as a guide 'that was filled with information that [women] could embrace, that would give them the kind of guidance to take the guesswork out of style.'
The Essence magazine editor, who first worked with Mrs Obama, 47, on a shoot for the magazine in 2006, is clearly a devoted admirer of her 'easy muse' and hopes to empower women with the style tips. Ms Taylor says that Mrs Obama is 'comfortable in her own skin' and always 'knows what works for her, who she is, who she isn't.'

OMG. Is this woman color-blind? The patterns don’t even match in terms of shape. She needs help—but she must refuse it. I bet people at the WH want to assist her but she’s probably too arrogant to accept help. I can’t think of any other explanation.
I predict this will be in the bargain bin before the election!
>>Now we can all get Michelle Obama’s look! >>
Who wants to look like James Brown?
Get her look? Just check out any STAR WARS movie. she’ll be in the co-pilot’s seat.
Once upon a time, there were two smurfs
Nothing gets the creative juices flowing on Free Republic like the daily thread on The First Linebacker !!
Perfect! LOL!!!
There’s something wrong with her face (beyond the obvious).
Botox cheeks?
Half face lightened?
Hubba Hubba!
Is that picture the one where she was with the Queen of England? I was laughing so hard I was crying when I first saw it. Just too funny!
Yes—Moochelle is standing right next to Prince Phillip.
It sure doesn’t take much work to get a fat butt and a closet full of wigs, boob belts, and gaudy clothes.
So what else do I have to do to get the Mooo-chelle look?
It’s gonna rain some more this weekend!
