The Look for Less: Michelle Obama

Our new First Lady cemented her reputation as a sophisticated follower of fashion when she chose this sunny yellow ensemble from designer Isabel Toledo for her husband's swearing in ceremony (she ordered the dress and matching coat from Ikram, one of her favorite Chicago boutiques). On her feet? Jimmy Choos, natch. At Stylelist, we love Michelle's taste but, with no history making events on our social calendar, we can't really justify any splurges. So we asked Amber Rodriguez to show us how to steal her style.

This metallic shift dress will give you the same slimming silhouette that flattered our the new First Lady.

For added warmth (and sparkle!) layer a long cardigan over the dress.

Forgo a necklace and instead add a touch of embellishment to the dress with a glamorous pin. ABS by Allen Schwartz Chic Rock Multi Stone Pin, $74.86, www.zappos.com

Jimmy Choo style at a fraction of the price! Finish off your Michelle O-inspired look with green patent pumps.
