Michelle Obama [1] kicked off her Let Girls Learn tour, starting in Liberia, where she visited a leadership camp to discuss the importance of education for young women. From her very first appearance, it appears the FLOTUS packed a colorful suitcase for Africa, and we can't say we're surprised — Michelle's just staying true to her Summer style [2]. Coincidence or not, she chose the perfect pre-Independence Day color scheme.

Her red, white, and blue Marni sundress [3] was splashed with hints of caramel and teal, providing a subtle contrast to the more patriotic shades. While there's no denying her design is appropriate for traveling on the job, it'd also make a fine choice for your upcoming BBQ [4] with a pair of braided sandals. Read on to see Michelle's accessories, including a pair of gorgeous crystal earrings, then shop for a similar silhouette.
