This Saturday is the Kentucky Derby and I can’t tell you how excited I am for it! I LOVE the Derby, it is one of my favorite days of the year. I love the beautiful horses, bright dresses, big hats, and champagne. The excuse to get all dolled up, watch the most exiting two minutes of the year in a sea full of Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines–it’s a preppy girl’s dream come true. The rule of thumb for the attire is the crazier the hat, the more simple the outfit. This and this dress is a great way to keep your attire minimal. I usually opt for a pattern dress, like this and this one, with a simple hat. Whether you are hosting a party or attending an event, make sure you wear something bright and preppy!
