Under $200: White After Labor Day

I'm not sure who it was that originally said that people shouldn't wear white after Labor Day... Well, today is the day after Labor Day, and I'm telling you to wear ALL white! 
Ladies, it's time to break some rules and be rebels of society (am I right??). If you wear white head to toe with your hair pulled up/back and a raspberry- or cranberry-colored lip to your next outing or party, I guarantee you will turn heads (and cause jaws to drop). Be bold and daring this season! Forget the rules and wear white after Labor Day!


Timex Tonal E-Z Read Watch (Urban Outfitters, $60)
Lace Details Slub Top (Forever 21, $8.90)
Stripe Trim Blazer (Forever 21, $32.80)
Anne Michelle Ignite 68 Peep Toe Pumps (Vegan friendly!) (Lulu's, $33)
Grand Total = $179.69

Just a pointer--the watch is the most expensive part of this outfit. It was just too pretty to not include! However, you could easily accessorize this outfit differently, so go ahead and pinch those pennies! Be creative and make it your own :)

Style Inspiration: Minnie Mouse

Ever since 1928, Mickey Mouse has been one of the most recognizable and iconic cartoon characters worldwide. But let's be real. If we're acknowledging fashionable cartoon characters, we're looking at Mickey's long-term lady friend, Minnie Mouse. Born "Minerva Mouse," she was originally styled as a flapper girl (appropriately so in the late 20s). Her look has transformed over the years, and she is now most commonly seen in a red polka dot dress, yellow shoes, and a big bow between her ears! Minnie Mouse is a fun-loving, sometimes-ditsy gal with a big heart. Now, isn't that something we can all relate to? I hope you can release your inner Minnie with some of these adorable and affordable additions to your wardrobe!
