It is not incredibly surprising that Michelle Obama is inspiring the clothing choices of other women in the U.S. and elsewhere to follow her fashion sense. She’s a beautiful woman and she looks good in everything she wears including her accessories. According to NBC her style choices are so popular because, “They’re wearable, yes, but more importantly, they’re exciting.” 
Like the purple Toy Watch she wore Paris, France in early June (and numerous times since then) that matched the purple flecks in her scarf. The brightly colored watch is from Toywatch’s Neon Plasteramic’ Collection and is available in a variety of colors including orange and pink. Toy Watch has numerous other variations including gold, black, mother of pearl, and those with tattooed faces.
The watch is surprisingly versatile. I’ve seen Michelle Obama wear it dressed up with pants and a cardigan as well as dressed down with a pair of shorts.
When I first saw these celebrity popularized watches and heard the buzz I thought for sure they would be in the $600 to $800 range but they are available at J.R. Dunn Jewelers and elsewhere for $195.
While the purple Toy Watch totally fits Michelle Obama’s style and personality I think I would probably go for the Teal Mini Plasteramic ($195 as well). Which color would you choose?
If you are starting to think about Christmas gifts (I know, Halloween isn’t even over yet) for yourself or other women in your life then this is probably going to be a must have item. But you probably don’t want to leave it to the last minute. AOL Beauty & Style mentioned that Michelle Obama wore J. Crew to a recent interview on Jay Leno which spurred an surge of shopping at the clothing brand; again, I’m not surprised.

Michelle Obama is very charismatic just like her husband and it is the reason why i like her. I also feel that she could connect with people more easily than any other first ladies.
I love Michelle Obama! She is so intelligent, graceful, stern when she needs to be and she has a wonderful sense of humor.
