In early May I was so fortunate to spend the day with close friends at the Point to Point Steeplechase races in Delaware. It was such a great event and I loved spending the day picnicking and checking out all the Delawareans in their dresses, pastels and hats. The women looked beautiful and the men looked so dapper.
I originally found my dress in early April at Dress Barn and was so excited to find a maxi that was an appropriate length for me that I decided it was perfect for P2P. I also didn’t really own a hat that would be “derby” appropriate, so I was on the search for a great black or white one to wear with my dress. (Check out the dress from my shopping post here.)
I was actually visiting the Winterthur museum the week before and the shop had the perfect hat to go with my dress (and hopefully many more over the years). The look ended up being perfect and I loved the photo op with all of my friends.
Have you ever spent a day at the races? What did you wear?
Obviously a close up of the hat was a necessity! It’s all about the hat!
