This Friday we are going to shake things up a bit and feature a local blogger of Lexington.
Kelly Vaughan writes a daily blog of fashion, DIYs, and more and she is tell you what she’d wear to the Bluegrass Stakes this weekend! Check it out:
Friday Faves: Stakes Racing
Dress: Donna Morgan via 6pm.com, Fascinator: Nordstrom, Clutch: Rachel Roy, Wedges: PacSun, Pyramid Bracelet: ASOS, Bow Bracelet: Torrid As you can see, this Keeneland look is already a bit more dressed up than what I showed you last weekend. Again, its a stakes race, so you’ve got to bring it a little more. Color blocking is huge again this spring, so you could always recycle that dress from last year. Remember, just because you are dressing up more, does not mean you should wear black. It is still a day event and not a funeral, wear your brights. The black and white clutch is perfectly on with the black and white trend, add comfortable but chic black wedges. The fascinator is perfect with this dress because the pinks are almost exactly the same. I’m obsessed with fascinators that tilt on the side of the head like that. I think I just might have to DIY one for Derby!
Dress: Bluefly, Clutch: Dorothy Perkins, Wedges: Ivanka Trump via Amazon, Fascinator: Goorin Bros, Looped Bracelet: Forever 21, Initial Bracelet: Wallis, Gold Link Bracelet: Charlotte Russe This one is for those of you who like a little print, or a lot like me. Just because it is a stakes day, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it! A bold graphic print in a high-low dress (mullet dress as I like to call it) is perfect for a day at the track. It is breezy, but still sophisticated which is what you want if it gets blazing hot. I kept it simple and paired it with a cream fascinator that is a perfect little mini pillbox. Neutral accessories finish the look off!
Dress: Dorothy Perkins, Fascinator: Nordstrom, Wedges: Kohl’s, Clutch: Dorothy Perkins, Rose Gold Chains: ASOS, Initial Bracelet: Wallis This look is the most formal, but if you are going to be standing in the paddock or up in a box, this is the perfect look. A sweet pink goes elegant with a couture neckline. Match the fascinator perfectly for an on trend monochromatic look. Rose gold and neutral accessories finish off this perfectly polished look. Also, Sunday is Horses and Hope Pink Day at the track. Patrons are encouraged to wear pink in honor of Susan G. Komen, so this last look would also work then too! Make sure you smile for the cameras! What are y’all wearing to the track this weekend? Not in horse country? Love Always Kelly Vaughan
