Don't you love it when Very Important People dress at the Gap? And not just to run errands, but to actually meet other Very Important People? Well, this is what our very own First Lady Michelle Obama did when she sported a simple Gap striped summer tee with an equally adorable floral summer cardigan to meet another First Lady, Nancy Reagan. Now, you have to admit that this is totally awesome, right? And not only is this a very cute outfit, it also teaches us a few things about fffashion and style along the way. When putting together such an outfit, always:
- Use the same palette of colors when mixing different patterns. I can hear Stacy London and Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear mention this rule over and over again during Shannon's makeover; they'd sure be happy to see that Michelle got it right.
- Pair this with a classic white pencil skirt. It just goes perfectly with Michelle's mix-and-match tee and cardigan.
- Keep it simple and classy with a few accessories—gotta love this timeless, long pearl necklace and a very simple bracelet.
- And last but not least, it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it—with confidence, style and simplicity, that is!
So if Michelle can make a Gap twin-set look like a thousand bucks, so can we. Or should I say: "Yes, we can!" (Sorry, that was just too easy!). Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle! And thanks for the fffabulous tip, Natala.
