“The whole art of living is mirrored in fashion.”
Cecil Beaton, 1904 -1980
The speculation. The sketches. The discussion of style. Forget about Barack. What (or rather, who) Michelle Obama wears to the inauguration is the topic du jour. While we’re waiting for that answer, here are three fashion lessons from the next First Lady.

| Juxtapose
 You could reserve your grandmother’s fancy ring for handful of fancy events. Or you can wear it regularly and smile at every sparkle. Likewise, Armani and Levi can coexist in the same outfit. Stop siloing your wardrobe and start enjoying it.
|
| Feminista
Think feminine, fashionable and professional. No stodgy pants suits or staid skirt suits here. Nor are there nose bleed inducing platforms or micro-minis. Instead, Michelle seems to live in knee length dresses that accentuate rather than flaunting or hiding her curves.
|
| Boldly
 Why spend a lifetime in black or navy suits when you can make in history in canary or cyclamen? You can start small with a striped shirt under a black suit, a coral waist sash with a navy dress or scarlet heels with a grey skirt. But do start living in color.
