Obama's Christmas Card
Merry Christmas from the Obamas! Today, the First Family's Christmas card, shot by photographer Pete Souza, has officially made its way on to the Internet. There's no denying that the foursome looks absolutely precious, right? I love the way they coordinated their looks, and how comfy and homey the whole setup is.

Most of all, though, I adore Michelle's dress by designer Byron Lars! She looks radiant and stunning! The First Lady's capped sleeve look is a fun way to keep things classy without showing too much skin.

Take a page from Michelle's style book with these 5 capped sleeve dresses perfect for your holiday celebration:

Asos dress
This Vila Cap Sleeve Jersey Pencil Dress ($32.72, ASOS.com) comes in this navy blue and a great mustard color. The pleated detail is simple, and the belt that comes with it adds a little pizazz.

Bloomingdale's Dress

Feeling festive? This BCBGMAXAZRIA Reeve Cap Sleeve Sequin Dress ($374.40, Bloomingdales.com) is beyond perfect for New Year's Eve. It may be pricey, but I don't think there's any doubt it will make you the center of attention!

Dillard's dress

This Adrianna Papell Cap-Sleeve Dress ($138, Dillards.com) is simple and fun in this bright cherry red. I love the wide scoop neck!

Lord & Taylor dress

This Jax Cap Sleeve Dress ($117.60, LordandTaylor.com) is perfect for a holiday party. Pair it with a stellar pair of silver pumps and a great clutch, and you're in business!

Jones New York dress

This Sheath Dress ($99.99, JNY.com) is simple and an additional 40 percent off RIGHT NOW on the Jones New York website! Can you say staple piece?

Are you into the capped sleeve look? What do you think of Michelle's holiday dress?

This is way better than what they wore in the other photo!! But I would still love to see her cover her arms. It's Christmas in Washington, is she really going outside in that? I know the weather's been milder in a lot of places than it usually is, but for the love of Pete she could change things up and cover her arms up just once. We might all die if she did. Heck, I'd even love to see a lacy sleeve. Don't mind the dress at all, notice that Malia's dressis again appears pretty short, but I guess that's just the style? Not in my house for sure though! No way my daughter's wearing those short dresses with her dad around, he'd never let her out of the house, he hates leggings so he'd never go for those!

Omg, because seeing her arms is so horrible! Seriously, why not just have her in a burqa? And her daughter? What a slut! You can see... kneecaps!! Seriously, just because you're a prude doesn't mean you have to act like they're going around in string bikinis. I think they all look great and I thought they looked great in the other photo too, cleavage and all!!

Lol, Someone must wear turtlenecks and blue jeans all year! (cough cough jasdshyne.) I like this Christmas card. It's not over staged and looks cozy. They all look very nice.
