The Kentucky Derby, Horse Racing, Celebrities & AMAZING Fashion.

4/3/2015

May is coming up very soon, and you know what that means! My local area will soon be booming with celebrities, and famous people from all around the world.

People far and near travel to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby for the traditional event each year. This has been part of Kentucky tradition for a very long time.
Racing in Louisville dates back to 1783 when local sources reported that races were held on Market Street in the downtown area.

Kentucky Derby Outfits

So what do you wear to this event? You will definitely want to wear a dress. A fancy floral or color block print will be perfect. Roses are always in at the Derby, since the winner is given a rose garland of over 400 roses. Up cycle a floppy hat, hot glue some fabric roses that are color coordinating to match your outfit. You will also want to take a smaller purse, the crowds are large and a smaller purse is the easiest to manage.

Make sure to stop by and grab a Mint Julep on your visit, the drink is after all the signature drink and don't be late to grab a seat, the derby is 2 minutes long. You will of course have many after events to attend. The entire surrounding area, almost every local business has an after derby party or event.

Make sure your styled to perfection this Kentucky Derby, up cycle a floppy hat and hot glue fabric flowers and embellishments around it. Coordinate your accessories to match your outfit.
Test your luck at betting by placing a bet, and be prepared to have fun at one of the oldest horse racing events in the United States.
