The election of Barack Obama exhilarated the nation and brought the most stylish, sophisticated, and fashion-conscious First Lady since Jacqueline Kennedy into the White House. A beautiful, strong,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I got both this book and "Michelle Obama First Lady of Fashion and Style" by Swimmer. About 70% of the material seems like overlap, but they chose pictures of her in slightly different poses. This book has smaller photos, but more information on where to buy the outfits than Swimmer's book. That said, I am very glad that I bought both of them, as I have managed to assemble a wardrobe that largely copies this fashion icon.
An American Beauty with Fashion Sense

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about Mrs. Obama's "style". I like the fact that the author acknowledges that sometimes Mrs. Obama's style is not appealing to everyone, but Mrs. Obama wears her choices "confidently" well. This book enhances the reality that Mrs. Obama is classy as well as down-to-earth when it comes to dressing herself and her family. I enjoyed the sincere comments from the fashion designers/experts. I give kudos to the author as well. This writing enables the reader to get to know Mrs. Obama just a little bit better. Learning more about someone's fashion does that. Very enjoyable reading.

I loved the respect and admiration that the World's top designers were giving to Michelle. It wasn't kissing-up it was really, "This lady knows her stuff." I also appreciated when the author gave helpful hints on how to update your wardrobe with the use of colors, patterns and accesories. Love her, Mecca of Atlanta
Michelle Style

Great book! Details about Michelle's style and her clothes. How she can take a simple inexpensive dress from H & M that cost $35.00, add a snazzy designer belt and look like a million bucks! I hope we see more books on her style because I think she is unique in her choices and is not dictated by fashion. Yes, I know, Michelle is a brilliant woman in her own right, and I don't want that minimized, but it's nice to have a First Lady in the WH again who appreciates clothes and the message they can send. There are two other ladies who understood that; Jacqueline Kennedy and Princess Diana. Now it's Michelle Obama!
