Sorry for ducking out with no dress of the day last Friday. I was in Lexington for a work event that had me running around like a crazy person. Thankfully it was for a pretty fun launch of the new Moet & Chandon Champagne – Moet Ice – which is created to be served on ice. Basically it is my new spring cocktail of choice. Find it, try it.

Shameless work plug aside, it’s back to the grind on all things Derby at work and here on the blog. If you’ve been wanting to see more hats, I totally understand, fascinators are everywhere right now and I do tend to favor them. But I still love me a hat and today’s is a beauty. Simple yet a total standout piece by Maureen’s Creations. This hat would look great with a ton of different dresses thanks to its classic color palette. I love it paired with this pink and black fit and {slight} flare from Dress & Dwell.

If you’re looking for a pink dress for the Kentucky Oaks but don’t want to do anything too girly, you’re going to want this dress (it’s only $52!). The black gives it a little edge that pink-adverse girls will love. You can also go edgier on shoes and bags or keep it classic like we did here.
