A Day at the Races

This weekend marks the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby, and while it's fun wagering and cheering on the best horse name (I mean ... best horse), one of the best parts is dressing up! Sometimes the weather is too cool for fancy floral dresses, but the occasion always calls for a fun hat. Below are some affordable finds fit for the races ... and for sunny summer days following. 

The derby goods, clockwise from top right:

• black wide brim hat – $14.80, available at Forever21

• Ralph Lauren "Gatsby" floppy hat – $45, available at Nordstrom
 

• Kate Spade patent bow hat  – $98, available on Zappos

• tan cloche hat – $28, available at Nordstrom

• coral floppy hat – $10.80, available at Forever21

• corsage pillbox hat – $63.63, available on ASOS

• wide brim straw fedora – $12.80, available at Forever21


... and just for the record, going on "best name" has always worked for me!
