The Look Quotes

“This book is a celebration of fashion, but more importantly, I hope it is a celebration of confidence, identity, and an inspiration to think deeply about how we choose to define style and beauty.”
― Michelle Obama, The Look

“People could say whatever they wanted—I’d keep my head high. Self-confidence is as much a choice and a mindset as anything else.”
― Michelle Obama, The Look

“I know I feel better when I'm taking care of myself - both physically and mentally. To do that, I put myself on the calendar to make sure that I schedule time for both kinds of self-care, to keep me balanced. That allows me to tap into who I am and how I want to show up in the world. It keeps me connected to my values and what matters most - to me. And then I can get dressed knowing that the clothes I chose to wear can help me channel that. Anyone can put on a beautiful dress, but if we don't feel good in it, what's the point?”
― Michelle Obama, The Look

“When I think back to how much has changed over the course of my life - from straight-A student to outsider at an Ivy League college, to lawyer and mom, to the First Lady of the United States - I see how my clothing choices have helped me define each role. I also see how my perspective about my appearance has evolved over the years. What I cared about, or thought was beautiful, when I was ten, was different from when I was twenty. As a working forty-year-old executive with two young children, it shifted again. And then being First Lady catapulted me into a spotlight. Looking back, I see the throughline: no matter how old I am, or what role I am playing, in order to wear any outfit well, I have to feel good in it.”
― Michelle Obama, The Look
