Shop for me! Kentucky Derby outfit!
DH and I are going to the Kentucky Derby this year. We're going with a bunch of friends and we'll be in the infield area. The dress tends to be more casual in the infield. I am planning to wear a sundress or something similar, and some flat sandals, preferably comfy ones.
My aunt offered to give me a hat to wear, which looks like this:
It's a straw hat with pink ribbon detail.
I found these sandals (sorry, no clicky on Mac), but I can't decide if they're ugly or not. Nor do I know what color I would get them in: http://www.dsw.com/shoe/b.o.c.+by+born+women's+larch+sandal?prodId=214766&productRef=SEARCH
I'm hoping to limit my spending to about $50 for the dress and $50 for the sandals. Maybe a little more if either is really cute.
I will try and check in if more info is needed, but I have to work tomorrow so I'll only be around from whenever I wake up until 2pm eastern. Thanks in advance, fashionable ladies!
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Re: Shop for me! Kentucky Derby outfit!
This is at the high end of your price range ($48 on sale right now) but it'd match the hat and the sandals:

I personally would wear wedges, even in the infield.
If it were me, I'd wear something more like this:

and wear shoes like these:
