Michelle Obama was photographed at the White House on Monday wearing this fab pink Merona dress from Target! I think Michelle Obama is one of the most fashionable first ladies this country has ever had and to find out that she paid $40 for her dress, well, it’s pretty amazing. Talk about down to earth! Read what Michelle Obama had to say about her shopping habits below:

“My motto is I have to feel good in it; I have to wear what I love. I try to be thoughtful about spreading the wealth: young designers. Mixing things up is important to me. But my day-to-day wardrobe choices are very practical. I’m like, what’s the temperature? Am I going to be sitting on the grass? Will I be playing with kids — because I usually want to. I don’t buy it if I don’t love it. Everything in my closet is something that I love so that I can make choices based on what makes sense, knowing that I’m going to love whatever it is.” – Michelle Obama on her shopping habits
