First lady-inspired style tips for Mother's Day

Mom-in-chief Michelle Obama loves J. Crew—here's a a snappy mom's day outfit from the well-known brand.

All eyes watched as Michelle Obama wore Narciso Rodriguez at the President’s Address, Peter Soronen at the Governors' Dinner, and J. Crew to meet the Queen. So what is our nation’s most famous Mom going to wear on Mother’s Day?

It’s a safe bet to say her holiday ensemble will include a J. Crew cardigan. Get the First Lady’s look for your big day. With two East Bay locations, J. Crew is a smart retailer to provide you with elegant detailing and the California cool factor for wherever your doting entourage takes you this weekend.

Start with J. Crew’s Short-sleeve cashmere cardigan ($148.00). Made from the softest Italian cashmere, it’s perfect for warm East Bay spring days layered over a tank or tee. Accessorize with the Pearl constellation ring ($50.00) and take a cue from Michelle, who is notorious for belting her cardigans, and cinch your waist with the ½" Classic leather belt ($29.50).

Dress your look up for brunch at the Claremont with the Double serge cotton pencil skirt ($98.00) and a pair of Jane snakeskin ballet flats ($395.00) (Trend alert! Python will be huge for fall) or down for a picnic atop Mt. Diablo with Distressed vintage slim jeans ($148.00) and Satin rosette metallic capri sandals ($78.00).

This Sunday, celebrate motherhood in style with your very own house of representatives, thanks to these First Lady-inspired looks.
