Michelle Obama's 12 Best Looks Of All Time

I think it is common knowledge that Michelle Obama was the best dressed first lady. She took the boring conservative style of a usual first lady and turned it into a high fashion must-have look.

From her first Inauguration Ball to some of her last days as First Lady she never disappointed. Some people considered her style too "sexy" for First Lady, but HELLO... she's a woman! Just because she represents the country doesn't mean she has to dress like a cardboard box and play it safe.

She took so many fashion risks while in the White House and that is why we are celebrating those looks today.

Let's all look back and enjoy the looks of our favorite first lady. These looks aren't listed in any particular order. When thinking about her looks I realize I could never put a whole lookbook together because her style is just that good!

These are some of her best looks but also memorable! Once a fashion icon...always an icon!

1. China State Dinner 2015 - Vera Wang


Even Barack is digging the look!

2. Inaugural Ball 2009 - Jason Wu


The first time we ever saw Michelle as the first lady! Such a special night and historical night! An all-time favorite look.

3. Dinner with the British Queen 2011- Ralph Lauren


She and Barack are goals! They are still killing the game six years later and Michelle really wasn't messing around with this look.

4. The Kennedy Center Honors Reception 2013 - Marchesa


Emerald green is one of her best colors! She outdid Barack in this look.

5. Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Phoenix Awards 2013 - unknown


Her signature belt is from J Crew!

6. BET Black Girls Rock 2015 - Zac Posen


One of my favorite looks on her!

7. Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Phoenix Awards 2015 - Tadashi Shoji


She rocks the floral print!

8. State of the Union 2016 - Narciso Rodriguez


This started an internet frenzy because of the color. Is it orange or yellow? The dress was sold out that day online. SEE?!?!? TRENDSETTER.

9. State Dinner 2016 - Atelier Versace


This is personally my favorite look she has ever worn. This was the final official visit and state dinner of Barack's presidency and, of course, they saved the best for last.

10. State Dinner in honor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau- Jason Wu


This print is perfect. She is the biggest fan of Jason Wu.

11. White House Correspondents' Dinner 2016 - Givenchy


SHE IS NOT MESSING AROUND!

12. State Dinner in honor of the prime minister of Singapore 2016 - Brandon Maxwell


Barack gives it a thumbs up!

I started with five best looks and ended up with 12. When going through her looks I realized that only five looks was not realistic.

Comment below some of your favorite looks from Michelle!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
