She is not only effective at giving back to the community, and sharp in her public appeal, but it appears that the lady knows her threads too!
This is the same Lady O who caused a shopping frenzy at White House Black Market this spring when she chose one of their smart dresses for her appearance on the television show, the View.
With a price tag under $175, the dress was affordable for the masses of women seeking a little style too. Within hours the chic dress had sold out nationwide.
Can you not help but love her for being so thrifty?
Many have noted how she set a new standard for the wives of presidential candidates when she showed up in a lovely purple sheath as her husband became the presumptive nominee.

Writes Robin Givhan of the Washington Post,
"the choice of violet stands out because it's not one of the primary colors so beloved by political spouses. ... Michelle Obama seems to choose her hues based on what looks best on her, ignoring the political how-to manual. And so it's no surprise that we should see colors like violet -- or chartreuse -- that are atypical. She is not standard first lady material. She is a black woman dressing to flatter her skin tone. Can shades of pumpkin or mustard be far behind?"
Even the New York Times agrees that she dresses to win.

Maria Pinto has been the designer behind Ms. Obama's recent winning looks including the famed purple sheath.
Pinto, a former assistant to Geoffery Beane, recently opened her own boutique in Chicago this summer.
Of recent, the splendid Lady Obama made Vanity Fair's best dressed list beating out some stiff competition who favor high-end fashion designers.
