Each season I pick and choose the trends I want to either invest in or possibly snag at a fast fashion retailer instead. Once I started seeing little white ankle boots pop up earlier this year and all over the Fashion Week crowd, I decided the trend didn't necessarily have staying power for my closet, but I wanted to experiment with it still (that's the fun of fashion, right?). Originally, I had been eyeing this pair from Stuart Weitzman, after I snagged the black counterpart, but ultimately, landed on this (MUCH) cheaper pair from Topshop (only $120 comparatively). It's been fun mixing it with some of my uneven hem denim pairs and especially with midi skirts, like this Zara number. Collectively, both trends cost me under $200 -- and very little guilt in the process.

I've rounded up my favorite white ankle boots below -- all under $200!
