Hello loves! And we’re off! We are coming up on the first turn. The fashion shows have begun showcasing looks from local boutiques, editorial inspo is inspiring nods from over the years as we begin to celebrate the 150th run of our Kentucky Derby.
As throwback themes seem to be playing a heavy favorite with stylists and creators, what better time to take my monthly advice of taking that style risk and pushing yourself outside the box. Everyone will be bringing their style game more than ever this year, so don’t miss your moment to shine!
I mentioned in March that our local boutiques are bursting with new lines, bold styles featuring eye catching prints and embellished details that will be showstopping for your unique style moment.
Fear not, our local boutique jewels keep tabs on who’s wearing what each day so you won’t have to worry about having a twinning moment at the big event.
The key thing to keep in mind is balance. If you’re picking your outfit first and it’s a statement, I recommend going with a toneddown hat with some whimsical minimal details and or a fascinator with structure. If you’re going big for a hat moment with some serious flair, keep you dress or suiting tailored with minimal embellishments and being mindful of smaller or lighter prints.
I’m excited to see what you all come up with for the events. Send any style questions or advice to my on Instagram at @inthestyleloup.
