Dress-A-Friend Monday: Derby Day (the “other” derby)

logo

I still need to play a lot of catch-up with purses, shoes and accessories for Wardrobe Therapy — oh my!

This week, I’m responsible for dressing Mella for Churchill Downs. The only thing I know about derby is big dresses and big hats with big attitudes and bigger Mint Juleps. After reading a few of her closet descriptors, here is what I selected for Mella:

Mella at the Derby
Mella at the Derby by melcurick featuring Carvela shoes
Items in this set:
Oxford Halter Dress, $150
Oxford Halter Dress, $150
Oxford Halter Dress, $150
Phase Eight Pearl Bow Cardigan, 55 GBP
Nude Geranium High Heel shoes, 89 GBP

She is searching for a pair of nude pumps, which are necessary for every wardrobe! Here, a small flower accent makes them derby-appropriate.  With the simple lines of a modern twist on a shirt dress, keeping in mind her requisite knee-length. I accented the plaid underneath the halter collar with a green cardigan  for the Cardigan Queen, as well as a necklace that complemented the outfit without dangling or drawing away from it. With that neckline, you NEED a cute stone necklace to adorn those clavicles!

Hope you enjoy the derby, Mella. Cheers.

    I would wear the biggest hat I could find if I was going.

    Ooh, different, but cute. I really like the pairing of the necklace with that neckline. Thanks!
