Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse,  Daisy Duck, and Donald Duck are not only some of the most-well known Disney characters, they are also some of the most iconic images in the world. Mickey and his friends are part of the reason that Disney is one of the biggest worldwide entertainment empires to ever exist. Without Mickey Mouse, the previous Disney posts in this series wouldn’t have been possible, because, as it is often said, “It all started with a mouse.“

Like the previous articles in this series, the purpose of this article is to use childhood icons as inspiration for outfits that you can actually pull off as a college student. All it takes is a little creativity!

Mickey Mouse

Created in 1928,  Mickey Mouse is the icon of the Walt Disney Company. Although he is pictured in many different outfits, ranging from a wizard’s robe to simple jeans and a t-shirt,  Mickey is most often recognized for his original red shorts. Drawing inspiration from his classic look, I used a pair of tailored red shorts, a ruffled creme and black top, and a structured blazer.  I also used a yellow purse, which is more wearable than Mickey’s big yellow shoes.
