Happy Friday, fashionistas! This weekend, I'll be attending the Belmont Stakes for my first time ever, so I thought it only fitting to create an outfit inspired by the event. The fun part is, you can totally rock this look to a bar that's playing the race or throw a party of your own. Southern Living has a great write-up of the best Race Day Cocktails (a mint julep is a key accessory in my look), along with a fashion guide and race-day checklist.
For the outfit above, I didn't give myself a spending limit, but for my actual ensemble, I grabbed a funky hat at Burlington Coat Factory and am wearing a dress and shoes I already have. Keep an eye on my Instagram for a snap. Now, only time will tell if American Pharaoh can make history and become the first horse to snag the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978.
Until then, I leave you with my favorite scene from Audrey Hepburn classic, My Fair Lady:
This is such a perfect outfit for a special spring event! The hat is amazing :)

Oh wow, how exciting, I have never attended a horse race. I went to see car racing once and it was LOUD! Way to loud for me. But you are going to look super fashion forward!

This is such a beautiful and classy outfit! I have always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby horse race but have sadly been unable thus far! One day! Love this outfit though and looking forward to hearing how the race goes!
