    Michelle Obama wears $29 Gap dress

Photos by Getty Images and Gap.Michelle Obama may go glam in designer gowns for formal occasions, but we love the first lady for her accessible, day-to-day style. (J.Crew separates, affordable Target shifts, and $35 H&M dresses? Yes, please!)

    On Friday, Obama left for Camp David with the president wearing a blue-patterned dress from the Gap. We tracked the garment down online, and it's actually still available and on sale. The "Impressionist Print Draped Dress" is $29.99 on Gap.com. Of course, the first lady marches to her own fashion beat, so she rocked the dress as a tunic, paired with white pants, black sandals, and a lime green Lambertson Truex tote bag. (The bag company went bankrupt in 2009, so you'll have to check eBay for that).

Obama publicly wore a printed Gap sundress back in 2009 as well as a $10 striped Gap t-shirt and matching $25 floral Gap cardigan (pictured at right) when she met with former first lady Nancy Reagan the same year.

    Do you prefer seeing first lady Michelle Obama looking fancy and polished for formal events or in everyday clothes many women can afford?

      I THINK THAT SHE'S BEING HERSELF AND SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH HER EVERYDAY STAY IT LET'S ME KNOW THAT SHE'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ME.

      Yeah a first lady that can show restraint in spending on clothing, unless you look at he other sinfully and disgustingly expensive gowns and dresses and outfits she has worn. Great, unless you look at the fact that she can't even do her own hair and makeup, and cannot manage to dress herself without an entourage of servents to wait on her at the taxpayers expense. SHE IS NOT THRIFTY, nor is she a walking fashion statement. Unless you feel that she is making the statement of a no style "ghetto girl". Then she is spot on with it. She is NOT an example of a "high class" FLOTUS. She is dumpy, frumpy, does NOT know how to dress for her body shape, and is biggest hypocrite ever. She is as BIG of a joke and fraud, as her disgustingly worthless joke and fraudulent POTUS husband. I just wonder how much he has to pay her to "play" wife to him, to cover up his closet man/man rondezvous. Its no wonder she looks like s--- when she doesn't have a real manly, man in her life to keep her looking good. You can take Barry (Barack) and Michele out of the ghetto, but you just can't take the ghetto out of them. So sad.

      I'd rather not ever have to look at her at all. Having a FLOTUS, who HATES white people is SICKENING!!!!!!

      who cares !she dresses like a lady,but has a no shape body & looks the
      best she can with little to work with. she is no jackie o or nancy reagan.
      she is always nicely put together. for a gal with a problem figure she
      does very well
    • Gloria  •  9 months ago
      She looks great no matter the price. She is down to earth, she was not born into wealth & knows what it is to budget and getting the best for your buck. We forget both she and her husband paid off their student loans thanks to President's books. .....
      They are just for real!

      Leggy Michelle looks good in almost anything. I wish I looked as good as she does. Svelte legs and arms, and such a pretty face! I love her sense of fashion and offbeat color combos--they work for me. I think she's gorgeous.
    • Joan  •  9 months ago
      She has spent more on clothes since getting to the White House than any other since Nancy Reagan. The press just show her when she is in the cheap stuff. Check our her vacation togs in Spain etc. Now, he's trying to pretend he isn't an elitist by dressing down on this vacation. These guys are frauds from the get go. Never forget how he was trying to sound down to earth because he knew how much ARUGULA costs. Please, who knows how much that cost but an elitist.
    • lisa  •  9 months ago
      I love the fact that she can wear a $30. or a $30,000. dress and make them both look damn good. She is a mother of two young girls so she know how to work what you got. Also I never understood why folks pay an arm and leg for something anyway. Continue to be you Mrs President.
    • ROBIN  •  9 months ago
      Yeah, the person is playing simple, humble, low-maintenance-which she is not!
    • Cindi  •  9 months ago
      Sorry, I don't like seeing my first lady looking like a member of the Beverly Hillbillies. Take a look around the world, & that is exactly the image our first couple is giving.
    • Tascha  •  9 months ago
      I prefer to see Michelle in everyday dresses instead of the fancy evening attire. She looks just like us.
    • Buzzkill  •  9 months ago
      $29 dress when she spends her own money, but $29000 when it's tax dollars. And she is still ugly no matter what she wears.
    • showtime  •  9 months ago
      how come it fits like a blouse if it's a dress? is she that huge?
    • showtime  •  9 months ago
      saw this same story months ago. someone must have really thought it made her seem like "one of us".

      Amy,

      Take off your kitten ears, Oscar DeLarenta is not tacky....but wrapping your wide hips is. Just saying.
    • BAH  •  9 months ago
      Hey, she is a First Lady, she can do whatsoever she desires, and know that she is not trying to do something to set a presidence, but showing the world you have your own mind, please take charge of it and think and while you are thinking know for certain that what you do after you have thought it through will draw opinions, criticisms likes and dislikes but never the less you are your own person.

      Wow people act as if she went to the Rose Garden for a press conference in the Rose Garden in her Stewie pajama pants and fuzzy slippers.. Are you guys serious?
      Who pays for the President's and family's clothes? I mean last I knew everything went on the country account since they aren't allowed to have credit cards..
      Maybe instead of criticizing the first lady, the other wives on capitol hill should ask the First Lady for tips. I mean with a country financially strapped it is nice to see someone showing how to be fugal in this day. Maybe if political leaders and their families spent less money they wouldn't need to keep drawing the pay checks that they do.
      Way to go Mrs. Obama.

      I saw a chick wear that the other day. Kinda hot actually. Gotta like they are conservative on their personal spending but when it comes to our national spending, they write checks like they're going out of style.
    • gil  •  9 months ago
      go take pictures of grass growing or paint drying. Leave the president & his family alone while they are on vacation. Let them be themselves. Do they tell you what you look like,dress like,etc.
