100 Days Worth of Fashion

Michelle Obama has been using her first 100 days as first lady to shape her personal image. Once pegged as a fist-bumping, angry black woman, Mrs. Obama has quieted critics with sweater sets and a smile. The former executive turned mom in chief has crafted a style that that blends high-end designs with off the rack options, garnering a 79 percent approval rating in the process. Take a look at how our new first lady has fashioned herself as the CEO of her own image.
