Much ado has been made about our First Lady’s fashion sense as she single handedly changes the game. Mrs. Obama has embraced everyone from young designers who aren’t as well known to Banana Republic which is in our local malls! She is a fabulous fashion icon who isn’t afraid to bear her arms in true Jackie O style.In fact, InStyle has a great piece on the First Lady’s First 100 Days of Style. We are trying our best to come up with some {budget}fab* versions of some of the First Lady’s looks, so stay tuned.

But in the meantime, check out this {budget}fab* version of the First Lady as she visited Arlington Cemetery. Some people don’t care for her layered look here, but I personally enjoy the depth she’s added to her ensemble. What do you think, {budget}fab* or oh so drab?

To get the First Lady’s {budget}fab* look visit Forever 21 for the Cuffed Flare Leg Trouser ($22.80), Spiegel for the Signature Relaxed Tweed Collection Blazer ($49), and New York & Company for City Style Twinset Cardigan Sweater ($25.86), City Style Patent Stretch Belt ($13.96), and City Stretch Stripe 3/4 Sleeve Shirt ($14.99).

Remember Beyonce’s relaxed look during All-Star weekend? Her cool grey ensemble looks perfectly relaxed and the platform sandals add a touch of femininity. Check out our {budget}fab* take below.
