Derby Dress of the Day: Red, White and a Little Blue for the Races

Apr 18, 2014

Happy (and Good) Friday! This week the swirl of Derby madness really set in and I’m struggling to keep up with it on all fronts. That’s not to say it’s not a good thing – it’s just a lot of things. Add in the whole being pregnant part and it’s a lot more than I think I’m ready for.

One thing I am ready for is seeing what everyone wears to the track. Last night I helped a friend pick out her dress (seriously, it’s like my favorite hobby – let me know if you want me to do some online scouring for you OR you can just head over to pinterest to see a ton of options) and I beg anyone going to the races to spill on what they’re going to wear.

A lot of locals skip out on the Friday/Saturday activities in favor of hitting up the track during the week. Wednesday and especially Thursday have become pretty big days but you won’t see as many big hats on those days. Instead, it’s mostly pretty summer dresses with a little extra touch of accessories (and maybe a small headpiece).

My friend (and fellow Cats fanatic) Megan usually hits up the track on Thursday so she picked out this dress to style for a mid-week day at the track. We put a little patriotic spin on it with the blue Lulubelles necklace but you could easily do something with black, mint, yellow or even a really pretty teal color. If you get this dress now at Dress & Dwell, you can save it for all your summer patriotic parties (4th of July wedding anyone?).
