Happy Friday! Not that we’re counting or anything but there’s 22 days until Derby. Have you picked out your dress yet? Personally I’m counting on the fact that you haven’t yet and kicked it up a notch today with a double dose of bright colors for the track.

When I think of Derby dresses, I always think of finding a great Milly dress. It’s probably because my first real splurge on a dress was a fancy Milly number a few years back from Clodhoppers. The fit, styling, bright colors and print just make so many of their designs perfect for the track. Now even when I throw on one of their dresses for a wedding or party, I always think about the dresses’ Derby potential.

These bright numbers are courtesy of the gals at Clodhoppers who always have more than their fair share of amazing Derby looks. Stop in and have them help you pick out your look (you can even scoop a hat their if you’re in need). They have a special knack for pulling things you might not pick out for yourself but end up looking (and fitting) great. If you go, tell ’em Lou What Wear sent ya.

Ann and Kristen are making another appearance this week (check out their other looks here and here), showing us how to style up neon for a day at Churchill and for a night out. This black dress would be perfect for one of the late night Derby-eve parties. With a pattern this bold, you don’t need a lot of accessories. Just a great pair of heels and maybe a bold lip.
