Friday's Fancies: {Kentucky Derby}

It felt a little natural to post some Kentucky Derby inspiration since I will be in Kentucky this weekend!! Unfortunately, I won't be heading to the derby this year, but I am looking forward to some fun with the family!  I am actually heading to Ohio for 24 hours and then Kentucky for 24 hours - and I am super pumped for my jammed packed weekend! :)  Even though I won't be attending any derby parties, I did ask my mom if we could celebrate with some mint juleps... in pretty glasses... kind of like the drinks in my inspiration board below:

Inspired by mint juleps and big hats... here is my {friday's fancies} outfit for the derby - too much?!?? :)

If you had more time we could get together! Have fun while you're here! Love your Derby pics! It's one of my favorite parties to host/attend since I don't actually go to the Derby!

Love, love, love your look! The hat, the dress, the statement necklace, the wedges, love it all! I'm seriously envious of your picks. It's really too bad you aren't going to the derby, I'm sure it would be an incredible experience. Alright, so be thinking "positive thoughts" that Liaison wins, it's 50-1 odds! Have a wonderful weekend, hope it will be restful and fun with your quick stops. :)
