There’s nothing subtle about fashions for spectators at horse races, starting from the top down with the signature Kentucky Derby hats embellished with any manner of flowers, feathers and figurines. A simple white lace dress (a strong trend this season) creates the perfect backdrop for a bold flower necklace and a flouncy wide-brimmed hat in red organza. What am I betting on? That I picked a winning combination.
-
- The flare skirt of a fit-and-flare dress means I can pedal in comfort.
-
- Yes, the necklace is way over-the-top. That’s why it works so well with the hat.
-
- Nothing says summer like a straw bag adorned with leather flowers.
