Today’s dress(es) of the day feature is a little different than the standard what to wear to the track posts. A week or so ago I got a question about what to wear to a more casual Derby party and who am I to miss the opportunity to pretend online shop? No but really, I love pulling together options for these kind of questions and the fact that it puts my online shopping bug at bay doesn’t hurt.

Now if you’re going to a fancier or more traditional Derby party, I’d stick with one of the options for an outdoor box – like this one or this one – but if you’re just getting together with friends, the options below are for you. Easy, simple summer dresses are my favorite because you can wear them so many ways. You can dress them up a little bit – with wedges or fun, embellished sandals – or you can throw on sneakers or espadrilles and jean jacket for a more casual vibe.
