Today's Friday's Fancies link up is an exciting one, because I am pretending this is my outfit for tomorrow's big event - The Kentucky Derby! We are actually going to the Derby (hooray!) but we won't be one of the lucky ones to mingle amongst the celebrities and we probably won't really be able to watch the race. We're going to be down in the infield, where things get messy and people go crazy. So my dress won't be nearly as nice and I'll probably trade those patent leather Michael Kors pumps in for my Hunter boots since it's likely to be a muddy mess. I don't even have a hat to wear - touché! But at least that will allow me to see above all the others that tower over me, right?! Are any of you planning to watch the Derby? Making Derby pies? Betting on horses? There is a horse in the race called Uncle Mo, so you can bet your bottom dollar I'm betting on him to win it big.
This yellow Steven Alan dress seems so perfect for the day's events - well perfect for any event in spring. Even at the risk of looking like ketchup and mustard, I love the combination of the yellow dress with the patent leather red pumps. I know I'm dreaming when I pair high heels with an outfit for walking around all day, my dogs would be barking in an instant! But that's the fun of this whole Friday's Fancies business, right?!

That's so cool you're going! If you snap a pic of any celebrities you MUST post. :)

The Derby sounds like the best time! And I don't care the occassion, comfort always trumps style. So those Hunter boots sounds like a great idea to me :)

I'm so jealous you're going to the Derby. Have a blast! Who wants to sit with the celebs anyway? It's like watching a baseball game from a luxury box. All the real fun is in the grandstand!

such a pretty yellow dress!!!! the derby reminds me of my grandfather who was crazy for horse races!
Love this outfit! That dress and the hat would look perfect together. I've never been to a Derby but how I'd love to dress up for one!
That sounds incredible. I have promised myself that I will attend one year! It will be worth it solely for the opportunity to wear a stunning hat.
I've ALWAYS wanted to go to the derby, wear a beautiful dress, and the biggest fanciest hat i could find... sigh... glad i can live vicariously through you:)
i want to wear this outfit!!
SUCH a cute outfit! So jeal you got to go...hope it was a ton of fun!
PERFECT outfit!
