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.  -- READ MORE

    There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

    Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .
