Let's Do the Derby

Y'all, this weekend is a big one here in the south. Not only is it Cinco de Mayo (which us Texans take very seriously), it's also the Kentucky Derby! I love a good horse race, but I love the fashion and the drinks even more! (Side note, if you don't know how to bet on a horse, here are a few tips!) So let's talk Derby fashion, shall we?

Let's start with the dress. Most dresses are a spring color, and it doesn't need to be flashy, as the hat is the show stealer. Since the hat is the center of attention, jewelry shouldn't be too over the top either. 

Now, let's talk about the hat. The pièce de ré·sis·tance. The hat is everything at the Derby. The more fabulous, the better.

See? Fabulous! Add a great pair of heels, a clutch, and a nice Mint Julep, and you're ready to watch the ponies. Happy racing, y'all!
