    Who needs a knock-off when Neiman Marcus is selling Michelle Obama's election night dress for cheap?!
     
    The first lady’s wardrobe has been under a microscope for years, with opinions ranging from too conservative (the woman has cardigans in every color, after all) to too daring (sleeveless apparel and wide belts, oh my!) 
     
    Her much-discussed election night ensemble, a Narciso Rodriguez silk sheath dress paired with a moderate—ahem, motherly—elbow-length black cardigan, raised the fashion-forward eyebrows of some critics who thought the combo was a big no-no.
     
    Whether you thought the red and black sleeveless number showed an ingenious sense of style, or was simply a frightful mess, Neiman Marcus thinks it’s something special. For those looking to imitate First Lady fashion (perhaps without the matronly sweater and kitten heels?), NM has the dress on a serious discount, down from $4,400 to $1,400. 
    Check it out!
     
    And tell us the truth. Cardigan: Yay or Nay? Or is this a case of “right dress, wrong person?” Leave us your feedback below!
