Brew Fashion: Get Michelle Obama’s Look

Face it. Our First Lady is fly. Period. She’s comfortable in her own skin, healthy and knows how to put a look together without the outfit wearing her. So, just how do you get Mrs. Obama’s look without her First Lady budget? Here ya go...

1. Layering is key! But the trick is to layer and still look womanly and not bulky. The secret is each layer should be close to the body for a more fitted look.

2. Cinch it! Mrs. Obama’s signature wardrobe item is a belt. This accessory draws the eye to her curves and emphasizes her small waist. Even if you don’t have a small waist, you can still make this trick work for you.

3. Shift gears! Mrs. Obama is a fan of the shift dress. It’s a classic shape that looks good on just about every body type. Of course, she has the arms to pull off a sleeveless shift. If you don’t… mask that flaw with a cute cardigan.

4. Get colored! The First Lady is a big fan of simple pieces in bold colors and prints. At 5’11”, she’s not afraid to wear vivid colors or bus prints. If your body frame is larger than the First Lady’s you can still opt for color. Just be careful to pick a print that suits your build and won’t make you look like a forest.

5. Accessorize! The First Lady always rocks a bold, key accessory piece. Usually a brooch, but sometimes a bold necklace. But, she keeps it simple. Remember the rule: always remove one accessory item before you walk out the door. Chances are, less is more!

6. Keep the coif simple! Mrs. Obama opts for simple hairstyles that compliment her overall look instead of dictating her style. Her long bob flatters her style choices and frames her face. You don’t see her hair coming at you before you see her.

The bloggers behind “Mrs. O” are launching a new book dedicated solely to Michelle Obama’s style. It’s called Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy. The book drops Wednesday and you can get it at Amazon right now.
