Michelle Obama Wears Alexander Wang Doodle Print Jeans To Paint Mural (PHOTOS, POLL)

Looks like Michelle Obama has added another name to the FLOTUS Faves Rotation.

Style blog Mrs. O points out that the pants worn by the first lady to paint a mural at the Botswana-Baylor Adolescent Center last week weren't splattered from a previous mural painting engagement, they were in fact a pair of Doodle Print jeans by It Designer and all-around cool kid Alexander Wang.

You can grab the pants here, but might we also suggest the Doodle Print Canvas Backpack? (Full disclosure: we have a total A. Wang obsession/problem.)

Take a look and tell us what you think.

Quick Poll

Michelle's Doodle Print jeans:

RAD! Love 'em.

BAD! Not feeling 'em.

Watch a round-up of Alexander Wang's Spring-Summer 2011 collection (featuring FLOTUS' pants!)

I remember a Republican gubernatorial candidate came to my church campaigning several years ago. He and his wife were seated really close to me. I remember being appalled that this uber rich man had on what appeared to be a wash and wear suit. If it was not, it was really cheap and ill made in appearance.

Mrs. Obama has never been seen in something that looked cheap, or like that man in that wash and wear suit. You cannot get enough of complaining about these pants she has on. She can wear them as she likes. She is able to fill out a pair of pants. Grown people do not usually care for baggy fashions.

What do you wear to paint murals? Do you paint murals with children? Maybe that is what you should tune into. Get with some lovely children, following the First Lady's example, and do an exciting project with them. Maybe, if you have the presence of mind in the midst of the fun, you will have a few photos snapped of your fabulous outfit worn while painting and working with children. I am sure you will be oh, so chic, and all will fit so well.

Not sure y everybody is so up in arms about the jeans n how much they cost!? I live in NYC, & while I wouldn't spend more than $50.00 on a pair of jeans, many friends of mine don't think twice about spending $500.00 on jeans. A friend of mine spent $600 on a designer winter vest & dat was @ about 20 or 30% discount. People all over this world need to stop comparing themselves to others!!! Know you limits & live within your means! AND STOP HATING!!!

Michelle Obama exudes an abundance of class. She's a very intelligent, compassionate and beautiful woman both inside and out. It’s such a joy to have a first lady who is admired by many countries throughout the world. She's a strong woman with great dignity and integrity. I'm sure she’s not concerned about what DC's superficial socialites have to say about her fashion choices, or what fussy old biddies expect her to wear so she can look like Bess Truman or Jackie O or Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush. Michelle is her own person and always dresses appropriately for whatever the occasion, casual or dressy. It's appalling that these women are more interested in what's in her closet than all the Christian values in her heart, mind and soul. WOMEN should respect and support one another, yet some are eagerly criticizing Michelle Obama's wardrobe! How shallow! I suspect these women feel it's easier and safer to vent their resentment by insulting Michelle's wardrobe rather than blatantly say it's the color of her skin that torments them. These are women who feel Michelle should be a servant in the White House rather than First Lady. It disgusts me that this malicious behavior exists, especially directed towards a remarkable woman who with all of her incredible kindness and compassion has far more decency and elegance and refinement than her vicious attackers. I bet they call themselves Christians but the disgusting odor of hypocrisy gives them away. You would think they would be ashamed!

I love Mrs Obama. I love her style. I hate this look. Fashion is taking risks. Sometimes it's spectacular. Sometimes you wear pants with splotches and a jacket/vest/sweater with a weird butt flap. Someday she will see this picture and wonder what she was thinking. If you ever wore any acid washed garment you know what I mean.

Damn it, you know we looked good in those acid washed jeans and matching jean jacket!

Like the outfit or hate it, with or without words that sting, free speech is what the US is all about. And my take is both the President and the First Lady are tough enough to handle criticism. They didn't get this far without knowing what to expect in regard to comments on everything they do.

Gotta love the US... where else could we enjoy such banter:)

Love our First Lady. She is hip to trends and looks great. I'm sure Malia and Sasha would like a pair of these.
Oh yes, and to all the baggers who have flocked here after their tweet came in, why are you so jealous of the First Lady.
She is beautiful, intelligent, fun, educated, articulate, stylish, good humored, a great mother, daughter and wife, has a heart of gold and only wants the best for our country and our children, works tirelessly for improving children's health and to make sure military families are taken care of, has an incredibly toned body and is nice to everyone.
You people need to get on with your lives. Perhaps someday you could be 1/16 as successful as her.

I think that the mural should have been people standing in the unemployment lines instead of the entertainment and fuzzy murals.

I am sure there is more than one set of undecorated walls where you live, and children who would love a project and your attentions. You are always free to gather some children and impose that self-centered mural idea on them and paint the mural of your understanding. It might be better to do what the children are inspired by, but you seem to feel you know best. I am sure you will be in the perfectly tailored outfits as well.
