Michelle Obama said her secret to good style on the campaign trail was all about having separates that are easily mixed and matched.
"It's been good to have a bunch of stuff to wear in different ways," she told N&O fashion reporter Samantha Thompson Smith.
On Tuesday afternoon at the Raleigh Times Bar in downtown Raleigh, she wore a off-white-colored knit sweater set and black wide-leg pinstripe pants. She tied the look together with a wide off-white-colored patent leather belt.
That's another one of her style tricks. Belts. "I'm big into belts," she said. "Belts make an outfit more interesting."
Her look on Tuesday was an impromptu outfit and part of the reality of life on the campaign trail. They were the same pants she wore on Monday, she said. But she said she had the dress she planned to wear to Tuesday night's rally already picked out.
Full Disclosure: Smith's fiance owns the Raleigh Times Bar.
