But I dont see how I can label the item in order to have css affect it.
Here is the source code for the item when it is displaying on the front end:
<aside id="taxonomy_dropdown_widget-2" class="widget widget_taxonomy_dropdown_widget"><select name="taxonomy_dropdown_widget_dropdown_2" class="taxonomy_dropdown_widget_dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" id="taxonomy_dropdown_widget_dropdown_2"><option value="">Select Tag</option><option value="https://xxx.com/tag/jimmy-choo/">jimmy choo (1)</option><option value="https://xxx.com/tag/midi/">midi (1)</option><option value="https://xxx.com/tag/stripes/">stripes (1)</option></select></aside><aside id="text-14" class="widget widget_text">
