First Lady Michelle has done it again! She caused a fashion uproar as she bedazzled last week by wearing a pair of gorgeous metallic sneakers to infuse life and personality into an otherwise mundane outfit of capri pants and J Crew cardigan.

Don’t you just love this metallic trend in sneakers?  It’s perfect for us girls who like to dress comfortable or run around a lot yet not want to look fuddy-duddy in a dirty lackluster regular old pair of trainers. And because they are dressier, you can get away with wearing them with skirts and dresses which you will usually never dream of with the regular ones.  Michelle’s Lanvin suede shoes that retails for $540 is a silver number with just the right amount of metallic pink at the tip to spice it up .  The price is pretty steep but who says we bargain snoops cannot come up with cheaper, equally fierce alternatives to jazz up our wardrobe?
