Making Her-story (Outfit #5)

Women gained the right to vote in the US just 96 years ago. As a symbol of their movement, the suffragettes regularly wore white.

And, now in this historic election year, women are gathering together on election day to wear white. In honor of our ancestors who fought for our rights, and in honor of the first woman being nominated by a major political party. In honor of the women who are still here, who have witnessed both of these historic moments. There is even a trending:

#wearwhitetovote 

With this, the ladies in my office decided to wear white tomorrow to celebrate Election Day. Well, what self-respecting spaghetti-eating, red-wine-drinking woman owns anything white? Not this klutzy lady!

Off to Goodwill we go.

I scored some pretty amazing bootcut Banana Republic slacks for just $20. (At that price, I'll definitely be less upset when I spill coffee on them!) I already owned the fabulous sparkly flats. :)

BR slacks retail: $100
