Happy Belated Derby Day! I hope you all were extra lucky this past Saturday! We sure were with winning on the Kentucky Derby for the very first time! As most of you know, but for those of you that don't, the Kentucky Derby is one of the biggest days in American sports every year. We all get super dressed up and head to the race track. This year Caleb and I stayed local for the race and spent a gorgeous spring Saturday at Arlington Park. Hopefully one year in the future we will get to go to Churchill Downs in Kentucky for the real deal! However, everyone makes a pretty good fashion statement at Arlington, so naturally Caleb and I have to join in on the fun.
We were very fortunate to have a beautiful spring afternoon in our favor for our outfit choices. I went with my new Lilly for Target dress, a big floppy hat, and my strappy wedges to complete my race track look.
To round out my outfit I wore my favorite pair of sunglasses and pearl bracelet. The final touch though was of course my special Kentucky Derby mint julep cup!
My favorite part about this dress besides the comfiness of it is the zipper. It's a little pineapple! I think it's the perfect touch. I also am really in love with the pattern. It was quite the lucky find, too! I found it the day after the Lilly for Target launch and it happens to be a child size! For all of you who are looking for Lilly for Target dresses if you stumble upon any of them in child sizes and like the pattern, see if you can find an XL. They seem to be to same size as a 2 or a 4 in women's!
