Michelle Obama [1]'s tour to West Africa and Morocco began in style as she kicked things off in Liberia on Monday to raise awareness for the millions of girls around the world who are not in school. The first lady, who's been passionate about her Let Girls Learn initiative, brought her daughters [2] along. Not surprisingly, the Obama women were dressed to impress, showing off their brand of easy elegance with Michelle taking the spotlight in brilliant prints and bright colors.

As with all of Michelle's appearances [3], she seems to have an outfit perfectly suited for every occasion that all at once helps to highlight her personal style and celebrates talented designers. With this trip, there's also a theme emerging — a collection of dresses covered in unique patterns as varied as florals and paisley prints. Herein, take a minute to look through the tour thus far and the gorgeous outfits that have come with it.
