This week's Friday's Fancies is all in honor of the Kentucky Derby. Now, I've never been to a derby, but now that Michael and I live in the South, it's a lot more feasible we'd go to one. The Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs in really close to Richmond, so if Michael will let me wear a big floppy hat, I am SO in.
Although I've never been, I feel that there are derby staples for every woman- mainly a big floppy hat & some pearls! I know pastels always scream "Southern Belle", and these D&G Mary Janes seem perfect for the occasion!
Am I the only one who wants to go to the derby solely to wear a gigantic hat??

Girl, I am right there with you to go simply to wear the hat...however, I am sooo rooting for Liasion to in! Your look is absolutely divine. It's chic, simple and sassy all-in-one and that is so, what I am into right now. And I am loving the color choice very feminine, love it! I will say this hat's and all we would definitely be looking absolutely fabulous sipping cocktails and rooting for a win! Have a fabulous weekend. And come on Liaisan!

ReplyDeleteI get excited about weddings in England for the same reason - I want to wear hats! No shame, girl.
Aww this is so pretty!! I've always secretly wanted to wear a big floppy hat too...I have a friend who goes to grad school in Lexington and I would love to be able to go visit for the Derby!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with your outfit. I would love to wear this outfit to the derby. That dress is quite the stunner. Love it alllllll!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely not. I've had the Derby on my list FOREVER because of the hats. I keep asking Mike's dad (who owns horses) when I can wear a hat to a race.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to be catching up on your posts while I was away! Love this outfit- so ladylike. I tried to get my sorority in college to have a derby themed social so I could wear a giant hat.. did not work. Oh well! :)
ReplyDeleteI want the dress - love it! Very lady-like and perfect for the occasion!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly nailed this look. I love everything about this - the shoes are perfect, the dress is beautiful, and little pearl earrings WITH bows? Amazing. Have a good weekend!
