The intense swagger of our first lady has been well documented.

The bouncy bob, the sensational display of toned and lengthy arms, the cinched waist, the kitten heel, the pearls, the lack of super pricey labels. All of it comes together in a perfect dance of accessible and affordable fashion the likes of which this great nation have never seen from a first lady.

Once a week at WTForever 21, we pause the considerable bashing of the store's unfortunate choices and salute them for their more fashionable pieces. This week's wonderful picks are in honor of Michelle Obama and her exceptionally crisp, outstandingly dope dress code.

Forever 21, wonderful.

Never one to shy away from color or a bit of sheen, Mrs. Obama gets a quadruple dose of her signature style. Jacquard, cardigan, broach and pointed kitten heels.

This color and cut only comes in plus size, so ladies with more luscious figures, this one's for you. The hair piece pulls double duty with a pin in the back to make it a pretty broach.

This color combination is right on the borderline, but by keeping the top tailored and crisp and not cluttering it up with tons of accessories, she pulls it off.

An elegant broach or pin is an almost ever present detail in Michelle's outfits. For younger and more mature women alike, it can turn an ordinary sweater or average assemble into a standout statement for under $10.
Diamonds and Pearls(13 of14)

Mrs. Obama knows old school can go a long way. Diamonds and pearls will never go out of style and they add a touch of sophistication to almost anything.
Cardigans and Belts(14 of14)

Michelle Obama's middle name should be "Cardigans & Belts." Time and time again, Mrs. O turns a jewel-toned pull over into a stylish moment.
