Kentucky Derby Fashion – What To Wear

It’s almost time for Kentucky Derby season and women everywhere will start searching for something to wear. Often, we’re not quite sure about the attire for such an event. Should one wear Christian Louboutin Pumps or Lilly Pulitzer Wedge Sandals?

I wanted to share a few style options to help us coordinate for Derby season. Attending the Kentucky Derby is definitely not a denim and t-shirt occasion but one can (still) look fashionable without appearing matronly.

Dressing for the races is a time to be chic and comfortable. Also, there’s a functionality behind Kentucky Derby or Preakness Stakes attire. From my personal experience, one should wear a hat to protect from the sunlight. Wedge sandals are a “must have” due to walking on the field or socializing over cocktails.

To camouflage from heat absorption, floral dresses should be worn in a lighter hue.

Men can have fun with their races fashion as well. It’s expected that gentlemen wear a blazer, button-down, and slacks. For a touch of whimsy, throw on a hat or floral lapel pin for the total sophisticated look.

Don’t forget to bring your cocktail glasses and rosettes for a good time!

Shoedazzle Color Of The Month – Daffodil Accessories

Daffodil is considered the new Shoedazzle color of the month. The accessories brand has an array of Daffodil inspired handbags, jewelry, and shoes. First Lady, Michelle Obama wore a similar shade in a beautiful sheath dress. This inspired women to wear the hue while adding a pop of color into their wardrobe.

It’s the perfect Spring shade because this color mixes (and matches) well with every fashion piece. Trendsetters and Style Bloggers are seen wearing Daffodil colored eyeshadow, nail polish, and hair accessories.

For an everyday look, pair (Daffodil) yellow accessories with a jumpsuit, jeans, or basic t-shirt. Color trends are fun to wear but don’t forget to make the style your own!

Peplum High-Low Blazer – What To Wear

I’m still in love with the peplum silhouette. I adore the cut and style of this particular top because it’s fitted at the waist and flairs near the hips. It’s the perfect look (especially for moms) due to the fact that wearing a peplum silhouette will hide the mid-section.

Peplum tops also photograph well from all angles and give instant curves to the upper torso. They compliment all body types; one can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.

The Peplum Blazer in the photo (below) was amazing due to the color, one-button closure and high-low hem. I decided to wear platform pumps for a heightened appearance. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of this blazer. I can’t wait to pair with a blouse and jeans for a totally different look!

Style Loft Boutique – Layered Lady Top and Jeans Review

Transitional clothing, what does that mean? Wearing a garment that’s meant for one season but incorporating that particular item into your current wardrobe. Purchasing a camisole shell can be a great wardrobe staple regardless of the season. It can be worn by itself with a pair of slacks or layered underneath a cardigan.

Camisole shells also style well with delicate accessories such as studs and hoops. Lastly, they can be worn to work, brunch, or cocktail hour.

I adore the Layered Lady Top shown above because of the shoulder fit, v-neckline, and flare at the waist. The fabric content (silk/polyester) compliments the design of the top and color (winter white) can enhance any item bottom in my wardrobe.
