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.'

I”m shocked Mikki Taylor could write this article considering she is so far up Michelle’s ample rear end.
This is satire. Right?
Picture of the First Frump in post 42 says it all.
They’re trying to tell us this is the most beautiful woman in the world?
Fashion icon?
BWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That is a great set of pictures!
My kids love this pic.. “I love the halloween decoration on that person’s butt!”
I hope the forecast is right. We got 1.25" the other day, but the lake is hurting.
Hilarious thread. Thanks for the ping. Made me laugh!
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.’

That’s the part that almost made me gag! Always ‘knows what works for her’ Really? Then why doesn’t she wear THOSE clothes???
I have so many pairs that I only wear them on days ending with Y. LOL
IMO, this was her all time low point.
I’ll have to rush right out and get this book! NOT!!!! Thanks for the humor ping. ;-)
Is she wearing pj’s?
OMG (Obama Must Go) It’s the dreaded 3-bag Buffarilla! Run for your lives.
I just noticed the Moose’s hair in that pic.
Looks like she forgot to put her wig on that day.
Scary!
In women’s size 12.
Wow - what a snob you are...and mean spirited too -attack BO on his policies, but keep away from cheap jibes at his wife
It makes you look classless and takes away from any political savvy that you might have
sexist!
I don’t know Indy Lindy - post a picture of yourself and we will all have a go at answering that question. You sound like a mean HS girl when you demean another woman like that
ICK!!!
