Now, we've said it once and we'll say it again, we're not a fashion blog. However, we thought it would be fun to share some dresses that would be Derby appropriate in case you're wondering what people wear to the races, or if you're still on the fence about what you want to wear. (Sometimes we all do last minute shopping.)
Without further ado, here are a few dresses we ran across that are perfect for various Derby day activities. Depending on the area of Churchill Downs you may be venturing dress code expectations may vary, but we feel fairly safe that any of these dresses paired with the right shoes, accessories, and hat (and mint julep in hand) are appropriate for any part of the track you may visit:

Ooooh, love them all, especially the floral/watercolor one shoulder dress! Went to the Derby last year and definitely bought a new dress to wear! (Albeit at 7.5 months pregnant, it's not one I'll wear again soon!) We stayed in Lexington and had a blast touring farms and going to Keeneland in the days leading up to the Derby.
