Derby Dresses of the Day: Happy Derby! Kentucky Derby 139

It’s finally here. Derby Day!

Around here, it’s customary to greet everyone with a Happy Derby! Like it’s your birthday or Christmas.

As much as I wish I was getting all dolled up and hitting up a fancy Jockey Club suite today, I’ll hitting up the paddock with some of my best girl friends (no judging if you see me!). I know we’re bound for a day full of rain but undoubtedly, lots of fun. Rain or shine, Derby is always a good time.

So rather than blabber on, I’m just going to leave you with the last of this Derby series with the always lovely Beth from Seersucker + Saddles. This was my favorite of the group and I’m excited to close out with it.

I’m sure some of you are happy to see this Derby madness come to a close, but I always miss it when it’s gone. Thanks so much for all the support on this series and for all the great Derby questions and feedback. Now, it’s time to go out there, make some bets, have WAY too much fun and then – when it’s all over, send me your pics. danielle@louwhatwear.com

Dress: French Connection available at Dress & Dwell; Hat: headCandi by Britni Knable; Necklace: Dandelion Shoes: INC (old)
Dress: Joie from Blink!; Clutch: Dandelion; Hat: headCandi by Britni Knable;





I can’t close out though without saying a huge thank-you to all the great local shops that helped make this happen – Clodhoppers, Blink, Dress & Dwell and Dandelion. Thank you all so much for lending out all your amazing beauties. And to Beth for teaming up and Whitney for taking all the amazing pics.

Hope you loved the Derby Series! 365 Days until Derby 140

Derby Dresses of the Day: Think Pink! It’s Oaks Day!

Woo Hoo!

As I’m writing this, it feels like it’s Christmas Eve or maybe, Christmas Eve’s eve. As you read this, I may be waking exhausted since I may be too excited to sleep (thank you Five Hour Energy). Today’s my day to get all glammed up and hit the track and thankfully the weather is supposed to cooperate (fingers crossed).

It’s all about thinking pink for Oaks – the day is all about the ladies, or fillies, and the pink is a celebration of Breast Cancer Survivors -  but that doesn’t mean you have to pull a Miss Piggy and go head-to-toe pink. I love the idea of subtly incorporating pink into your look. For my look, this light and airy number from Dress & Dwell has the perfect Southern combination of green and pink. And well Beth, she’s looking like a sophisticated and modern Barbie doll. I am absolutely obsessed with this headCandi fascinator - the pink, the polka dots, the black and white. In love.

I can’t wait to share pictures of the fascinator Britni made for me (i’m sure you’ll be able to sneak a look on instagram today). She dropped it off and I definitely swooned a little.

If you’re going to be at the track, make sure to snap a picture and send it to me at danielle@louwhatwear.com – I can’t wait to see all the stylish guys and gals out there!

On Beth - Dress: Dolce Vita White Dress available at Dress & Dwell; Fascinator: headCandi by Britni Knable; Shoes: ZARA; Clutch: Beth’s
On Me – Dress: Dress & Dwell; Hat: headCandi by Britni Knable; Clutch and Necklace: Dandelion; Heels: Dolce Vita (old)

Derby Dress of the Day: For an Outdoor Box

For today’s dress, I wanted to pick something that I know is available locally. We’re getting to crunch time so it may be almost too late to get that overnight shipping online.

This chevron stripe Milly lovely would be great to get last minute because you can pair a ton of hats with it. Have a black hat? Throw on black espadrilles and you’re good. Want to go bright or see something at the store that catches your eye? Just grab it cause it will definitely go with this dress.
