Isabel Toledo. Jason Wu. Lemongrass. Those three names were relatively unknown before Inauguration Day but are now fashion buzzwords, thanks to first lady -- and fashion icon -- Michelle Obama's wardrobe choices.
Unlike former first lady Jackie Kennedy, who spent exorbitantly on custom clothes, Mrs. Obama mixes in pieces most women can afford, said Mary Tomer, the founder of and a contributing editor to Mrs. O (www.mrs-o.org), a fashion blog created last fall that is dedicated to Mrs. Obama.
"I think it's just fascinating the broad appeal of her as a woman and also her style," Ms. Tomer said.
Mrs. Obama's style, a modern look for any age or race, is a mix of lesser-known designers and mass-market apparel, Ms. Tomer said. Mrs. Obama has worn goods from J. Crew and H&M, in addition to brands with Augusta stores, White House Black Market and Gap
It's possible to emulate Mrs. Obama's look -- even on a budget.
"It's about remixing what you already have," Ms. Tomer said.

Is it just me, or does Michelle Obama look just Chewbacca from Star Wars? I mean, sure, the hair isn't there, but the facial features is dead on! Just an immature thought on a slow Sunday afternoon........
I knew this article would bring the termites out of the woodwork...
I just loved those green gloves!
midwesterntransplant don't worry we killing off the good ole boy. Michelle is a beautiful, intelligent, and classy lady. A step up definitely when compared to other first ladies.
And she looked like a lemon in the picture.
I really don't think she has more class than Laura Bush. Frankly we don't know as much about former first ladies before the era of TV. We've had some strange ones. But they were not elected. They are just baggage.
For goodness sake. Michelle Obama has no flair for style.
Who would want to dress like her. Most of us aren't that large and don't need clothing of that sort, we prefer our own style.
