Michelle Obama's Target Dress a Jason Wu Design
Frist lady Michelle Obama was spotted in Florida last week wearing an economical but fashionable dress by Jason Wu for Target.
The first lady wore Wu's navy blue floral chiffon dress over the weekend for a press event. She pared the sleeveless, knee-length $39.99 dress with a red belt, a blue cardigan, and blue pumps.
The Jason Wu for Target line sold out just hours after it went on sale online on Super Bowl Sunday. The release of the designer line came following the release of the Missoni for Target line, which was widely popular and managed to crash Target.com.
