No, we\u2019ve never met her, but that\u2019s what she\u2019s like in our heads and definitely how she seems in public.&nbsp;\n\n<img data-original=\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-186.gif\" alt=\"michelle obama dancing GIF by So You Think You Can Dance\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\">\n<noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-186.gif\" alt=\"michelle obama dancing GIF by So You Think You Can Dance\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/noscript>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nMichelle\u2019s memoir, <em>Becoming<\/em>, gives even more insight into her personality and inner workings of her life and mind. It also gives us a bunch more reasons to love her.&nbsp;\n\nOur favourite: the fact that Michelle paid for all her own clothes and accessories as First Lady.&nbsp;\n\nShe calls it her \u2018White House Style Strategy.\u2019\n<blockquote>\u201cI paid for all my own clothes and accessories\u2014with the exception of some items like the couture-level gowns I wore to formal events, which were lent to me by the designers and would later be donated to the National Archives, thus adhering to White House ethics guidelines,\u201d Michelle writes.&nbsp;<\/blockquote>\nYeah, paying for couture would take a serious toll on the bank account.&nbsp;\n\nMichelle also explains how, when trying on clothes, she would do the familiar squat test. You know the one: you try on a tight dress or tight pair of pants and squat to make sure you can walk\/breathe\/eat without splitting a seam.&nbsp;\n\n<img data-original=\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-187.gif\" alt=\"struggling homer simpson GIF\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\">\n<noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.smooth.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-187.gif\" alt=\"struggling homer simpson GIF\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/noscript>\n<blockquote>\u201cIn my dressing room, I\u2019d put on a new dress and then squat, lunge, and pinwheel my arms, just to be sure I could move. Anything too restrictive, I put back on the rack,\u201d Michelle explains in her book.&nbsp;<\/blockquote>\nSo basically what we\u2019re hearing is that Michelle Obama is just like us. Which means we\u2019re just like her. Which means we\u2019ve achieved Michelle Obama status in life.&nbsp;\n\nKinda.&nbsp;\n\nNot really.&nbsp;\n\nWe can dream.&nbsp;\n\n<em>Images: Michelle Obama \/ Instagram, Giphy \/ Giphy.&nbsp;<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a legend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1544,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[418,209],"tags":[],"geo_market":[],"class_list":["post-1541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity","category-entertainment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
