Michelle Obama: Jason Wu For Target Dress In Florida! (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 02/14/2012 2:08 pm EST Updated: 01/08/2013 2:45 pm EST

She's seated at a table and she's wearing a sweater over it. But if you look very, very closely, you can see it: Michelle Obama's wearing Jason Wu for Target!

Be still our collab-loving hearts. Mrs. O appeared in Florida over the weekend, eating healthy and exercising for her Let's Move! campaign, when she appeared the Sleeveless Chiffon Dress in Navy Floral with Gold Belt ($39.99) from Wu's Target collab. Of course she gussied the look up FLOTUS-style, replacing the gold belt with a red one and cinching it over a blue cardigan.

We shouldn't be too surprised Michelle picked up a piece of Target's latest designer collection, given the first lady's affection for both Jason Wu (her choice for her inaugural ball gown, of course) and Target (she hit up the big box store back in September). But we are still impressed with her quickness, as the collection hit stores just 9 days ago and was selling out like, well, a Target designer collaboration.

FLOTUS must have snuck off for a surreptitious Target run... or, y'know, used her connections to have one shipped to the White House. Either way, it's fairly awesome.

Check out Michelle's budget-friendly look below.

I wish the Jason Wu collection would have had enough pieces to not sell out in five seconds. I loved the line and it is frustrating that Target put it out there knowing most of us won't be able to get it.

Wu (who) is this guy Jason wearing that blue dress, he definately needs a shave with his 5 o'clock shadow.

@caypru:

People come in ALL sizes. Mrs. Obama is a tall woman (5'10") who is very fit and buff. If she were 5", would she be an "undersized" woman? You are such a FOOL!

If you DON'T want to see her, DON'T click on stories about her or are you too obtuse to figure that out? SMH at your silliness.

I guess this is supposed to be shocking. I could look like a million bucks shopping at Macy's or even at TJMaxx. There's no need to spend what some rich people spend on clothes to look stylish; however, Target is the last place I'd ever want to shop for clothes or shoes or jewelry. I don't even like buying underwear there.

Any body still wonder why a lot of black people harbor hateful feelings toward white people? If Barak and Michelle Obama, cannot get respect, how do you think the average black joe has been faring?
01:59 PM on 02/16/2012
Barak and Michelle Obana shall have my respect when they earn it, so far they haven't.

no bag because you have a black skin issue

I'm white; but you're correct. It's in everyone's DNA to compare, and that leads to racism. It's just an unfortunate reality. But we must continue to WORK...all of us...to rid the world of this form of hate.

Thank you for that response. At lease people are starting to see some of the more insidious forms of racism. The forms that they can try to deny. Hatred of the first family is based on nothing but jealous hatred of black people, who do not fit any of the stereotypes they are comfortable with.

@B Diane:

Fanned and faved. I like your comment, and you seem like a good and honorable person, but because of the condition of the unregenerated human heart, racism will NEVER be ELIMINATED on this earth. It can only be AMELIORATED. God bless you.

This is a forum to discuss FASHION. If you are not a fan of Michelle you should NOT EVEN BE READING THIS ARTICLE. Please leave.
02:02 PM on 02/16/2012
Oh NolaGirl, pulleeezzzzzzzz I have to be a fan of her's to read this article.............never going to happen. Are you the dictator of who should read what?
02:08 PM on 02/16/2012
Please explain why, if you are NOT a fan, you would even be interested in reading an article about Michelle's personal fashion sense?
06:57 AM on 02/16/2012
My oh my, the politics involving a dress worn by our FLOUS....can anyone tell if they have been able to find some more pieces of the collection in a Target near Rumson NJ? There are more pieces each time I have been in aTarget on Rte. 35,but they never got in the t-shirt,or accessories....anyone find any of those in the tri-state area?

You can throw things at me if you wanna'

but I think first Lady Michelle would look good in a flower sack.
Best FLOTUS since JackieK.
08:55 AM on 02/16/2012
THANK YOU. This woman is so classy & beautiful. Best FLOTUS we've ever had.
02:11 PM on 02/16/2012
NolaGirl, you failed to mention that she is "FINALLY" proud of her country (one of her brilliant campaign statements made while her husband he was running, BIG MISTAKE MICHELLE), she's is I believe the first FLOTUS who has ever felt that way towards our beautiful USA. All previous FLOTUS's proudly loved our country

Most commenter's have reacted to MO as tacky, it is very sad for this country.

Yes, it is very sad that this country has been stuck with a "tacky" first lady.

Love the blue! Great spring color and it matches my eyes (blink blink). I'm wearing my Lands End bright blue cardie right now in fact (very gray day outside).

A $40 dress on a classy lady still equates to a classy lady. A $15,000 dress on a piece of trash still leaves a piece of trash. The fashion industry and most of the media would have you believe that you need to spend a lot of money on garments but Michele knows better and is not afraid to show it. If you need to look like you have a lot of money, buy a fake "Coach" bag and let people think that you can afford it even if deep down you know you cannot but are OK with fooling yourself and pretending.
