Michelle Obama Wears One Dress Two Ways In Fort Lauderdale (PHOTOS)

First Lady Michelle Obama jetted down to Florida for some R&R this week, reading "Fifty Shades of Grey" and sipping on mai tais by the pool.

Just kidding, obvi, because Mrs. O has been hot on the campaign trail for most of the past few months. Wednesday's travels brought her to south Florida, where she fired up a crowd to re-elect her husband.

But first, Mrs. O made an unannounced stop at the Life Sports Fitness life enrichment program at Fort Lauderdale's Holiday Park gym. FLOTUS paired her floral frock with a cardigan and beige flats.

It turns out, this is a fave Florida look for the first lady. She wore the same dress, topped with a J.Crew beige cardigan, in Miami in 2009.

Then when it came time for stumping at the War Memorial Auditorium in front of 2,500 attendees, she dressed up the look, ditching the cardi and slipping into a pair of green heels. (Come on, you've never pulled the "add/remove cardigan and presto, new outfit!" trick?)

All in a day's work.

Just for fun... check out FLOTUS hanging with celebs!

This is like the page of worship of Michelle arms. When did women in America became so shallow and ridiculous.

Wow, this is plain stupid, she just puts on a little cardigan and now she is a fashionista. Stop the worship.

You mean 2 dresses, 1 time

Ok so she looks amazing, so why is that news?

[JuLeah Willson]

It seems her clothes are of more importance then her ideas ... what does that say about us?

[Kilgarvan]

Her clothes may be more important to you than her ideas. But the mothers who appreciate her voluntary impact on the food industry, the families of service personnel, and gardeners everywhere, appreciate her incredibly persuasive, passionate, and fun-loving commitment. I don't what that says about you.

Ouch. Seems you are slamming me without reading what I wrote. I fail to understand why time is wasted on issues of fashion and hair styles of powerful women. Have you ever seen an article about a powerful male leader that mentioned his clothes, his hair? When powerful male leaders are interviewed, what reporter asks him 'Which designer do you use'? It isn't done, society reserves these stupid questions just for the women. To my way of thinking, as long as society does such things, we are far far from equality between the genders.

She won the gold medal in wasting taxpayer money.

The First Families (all of them) have to pay for their own vacations, family food (even in the White House), children's educations, clothing (although Nancy Reagan used to "borrow" clothes and Jackie sold some of hers to second hand stores). The First Family is not permitted to travel without the Secret Service (this is why the Bush twins were followed everywhere, even on South American college vacations). This is a false and silly argument, but may be your best effort to date.

Our First Lady knows how to work a dress. She is a fashion icon! I wish I had her flair and confidence!

aww how sweet- same dress worn twice- Shucks she is just like us common Folk- minus her 800.00 shoes

[caune]

The green shoes she is wearing in the second appearance, she's been wearing them for years. When you make decent money, and her husband does, you can "invest" in expensive classic items that last. She has become a master at it.

[Promano]

oh so in other words she can wear expensive shoes, But Mrs Romney can't wear expensive blouse- haha anothe hypercrite leftie

I love Michelle Obama. Her confidence in herself and her support of husband is inspiring. She is truly the model of the kind of woman i would make my wife.

[Ms. Lou]

A Class act. She's the right kind of woman for a man with high ambition. And she appears to be fun loving. Good luck with that.

[StatusCEO]

Yeah, some of these women have a hard time dealing with a man who has ambition.

Clearly, you have forgotten about Laura and Barbara Bush. Which would be easy, because you never saw either of them do anything.

If your facts are true, then goes to show that inspite of your attempt to act as if you're against her, by having all these facts shows your keen interest in her. Perhaps next to me, you're her #1 fan..............keep up the good work!
