Michelle Obama revealed that she shops at J.Crew, and doesn’t spend tons of money on her wardrobe.

“Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble,” the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told Jay Leno on Monday on his talk show.

“You can get some good stuff online,” she added.

Even though Jay Leno brought up a chance for Michelle Obama to criticize Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin about revelations that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 at Neiman Marcus and other high-end retailers on clothes and accessories for Palin and her family.

Michelle Obama says that she and her husband choose to spend their own money on their clothing. But she said she wanted to be “empathetic.”

“A V.P. pick, it’s like being shot out of a cannon. All of a sudden you’re at the center of attention, and you want to look good,” said Michelle Obama, adding she has never met Palin. “You’re living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you’re on the national stage and everyone’s watching.”

Jay Leno asked about Barack Obama’s grandmother’s health. Obama had been in Hawaii with his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who virtually raised him and is his main remaining family.

“She’s doing OK, up and down. But we are just grateful that he took time off and went to see her,” Michelle Obama said. She said her husband credited his grandmother, whom he calls “Toot,” with teaching him strength.

She quoted him as saying: “‘She’s tough, she’s been through a lot. She’s still hanging on. If you wonder where I got my toughness, it’s from Toot.’”
