Take a style tip from the First Lady and make your wardrobe seasonless

 

Even Michelle Obama wears what's at hand.

At a breast cancer awareness event at the East Garden of the White House today, Mrs. Obama wore a floral printed Moschino pencil skirt from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Heavens!

But how can Mrs. Obama pull off a spring floral skirt in the fall?

Easy.

The ground of the floral Moschino skirt is black, making the pink flower print an almost year round choice if styled the right way. A scoop neck black sweater continues the First Lady's seasonless look.

As another styling alternative, we'd try a black silk blouse, black tights and booties to transition more into winter.

If you love the look but don't have a floral skirt in your closet to fit the bill, try this Elie Tahari "Bennet" Sequined Floral Pencil Skirt for a more glam touch on the First lady's style.

I think that it's great that Mrs. Obama wears clothes like a real woman rather than a red carpet celebrity. But I'm still not sure about those shorts that she wore a couple of weeks ago.

Love the post (and our First Lady's sense of fashion)! I recall that she wore a dress from Loehmann's (http://www.loehmmans.com) not too long ago (during the campaign, I believe). She does have an intelligent take on fashion indeed.
