Dress by Number: Michelle Obama in Coordinated Coral


Michelle Obama has a knack for wearing bright colors and I'm beginning to think she also has a very enviable sneaker collection! Copy the First Lady's sporty-chic style by pairing colored jeans with a coordinating cardigan and the very same Puma kicks that Mrs. O is wearing (which according to this blog would be the PUMA 917 Lo Poparts, priced at a reasonable $55).

[1] Cardigan, $20.98 at Target.com
[2] Crystal stud jewelry set, $4.80 at Forever21.com
[3] Supersoft striped tank, Now $12.99 at Gap.com
[4] Merona Roll-Up Pant in Coral, $24.99
[5] Sneakers - PUMA 917 Lo Poparts, $50-55 at store.Puma.com

I love her too, she is so classy. I am loving her outfit, although for some reason I just can't get into wearing colored pants again. I can't see myself on them, I remember back in the day when I had red, pink and every other color lol.. Just not sure now...

I remember wearing colored jeans, I apparently got into that trend pretty late (late 1997) and everyone made fun of me for months...purple, pink, all sorts of colors of jeans! So for that reason, I doubt I could go back, lol. But she looks *amazing*! :-)

I LOVE her style and try and recreate her look often. I have the cardigan she is wearing - it was from the GAP - I love the colored jeans but don't know if they are for me. She has amazing style

I adore Michelle‘O and I think her style is KILLER. I hope she becomes our next quintessential American style icon – both for formal wear and casual wear. Nice post, Dianna!

Love it - she has a great sense of style!

She really can rock the colors ... and wow, what a great recreation, BB! That cardi is a perfect match.

I like the idea, but it looks so so so small on her. The cardigan is way too tight - she could barely get that one button fastened. The jeans are too tight IMO, and are borderline mom jeans.

Nice look. Right combination of coloure and texture.

Not to be too OCD but... You could get her exact look for not much more. The cardigan is the Summer Cardigan from Gap which is at about $30.00 right now, and the tank is actually the favourite ribbed tank, from Gap, not the super soft one. The ribbed tank is going for about $15.00 right now.

You can never be too OCD with me! Haha, thanks for sharing, I didn't realize she was wearing Gap as you've pointed out. Now I gotta look for this cardi and the Vena Cava dress next time I go!

This exact cardigan is actually only about $30 at GAP, I just realised that I own it :-D
