Michelle Obama's Holiday Style

I always keep an eye out on what FLOTUS Michelle Obama wears. This summer has seen a plethora of 50s style sleeveless dresses in bright prints, fitted into the waist. They suit her admirably and always look fresh and stylish and lovely. Quite safe, to be sure, but pretty and on-trend in a non-obvious way. They are totally appropriate for all her engagements and activities. But now Michelle is on holiday. Aside from exercise gear, which she has worn for her bike rides, what has the holiday wardrobe consisted of?

Beautiful, bright midi skirts is the answer. A notoriously tricky style to wear well, Michelle seems to have this nailed just as easily as she has all her other fashion choices. Nipped in over vests and the odd cardigan, these skirts show off Michelle's wonderful height to best advantage - and keep those awesome arms out for full public admiration. As is appropriate. The bright colours are festive and great for holidays in the sun and she teams them with dressy flats for a glamorous holiday look that is perfect for her.
I have a couple of pleated midi skirts and love them for their 'swooshiness'. They are tricky to wear and require a bit of planning and thought. Certainly, a fitted cardigan is a great tip I am going to take from Michelle. Anyone else struggling with wearing the midi? Let me know.
