Tass' next door neighbor and I have become friends and we were hanging out a few days ago and were talking about the Triple Crown and I mentioned that I'd never been to any of the events but wanted to go to Preakness since am now conveniently located. She said Preakness was on her 30 to do in 30 list and once we both clarified that we were of the attend in fancy dresses and hats mind and not the drunken infield one, we squealed and made plans to go.
And now tickets and parking have been procured - yay!
I think I'm going to wear my blue Pezza dress but am debating what to do as far as headwear. It seems that the Derby is the most floppiest of floppy hat events so perhaps I can go the fascinator route? Something with peacock feathers perhaps? Or would that be a hat faux pas?
On Sunday we stood out on our respective porches and modeled possible outfits. My gingerbread socks looked amazing against the blue :) The neighbors were very confused.
Now this is fun outfit planning.
