Mrs. O is a blog that tracks Michelle Obama's fashion choices. I like quite a lot of her outfits. She makes conservative look attractive and achievable, and is living proof that it is possible to take risks and not look undignified or age-inappropriate.

You know all those corny magazine lingo that's tossed at women day in day out? Statement-making accessories to jazz up an outfit. Don't be afraid to add colour. A good cut and fit takes pounds off you. Mix high and low. Play with details such as fabric textures, or the cut of your sleeves, or the shape of your collar, or an interesting neckline. Etc, etc.

She does all that you know. Isn't it nice to be reminded that all those tiresome repetitions are not just spew but actual advice that work in real life to form a pretty great wardrobe?
