As if that's not enough, the idea of ladies in an all-white suite is uber exciting. We all know to get a quality outfit, we have to be willing to depart with a good amount of money. You can either get a fashionable blazer (from @richqueenfashion on Instagram for Ksh. 6,000) with some detail (remember the theme is all white so don't go all out on the detail- keep it subtle minimum to none) and match it with some slim fit white jeans (which you can get on Instagram from stores like "labelle fashion and unique accessories "for as low as Ksh. 1,000 and white pumps (these you can get from Backyard Shoez for Ksh.4,500 or Sheikhscollexion -@sheikhscollexion- on Instagram for Ksh. 10,000).
