Dress: Old, Similar | Hat: Headcandi | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Necklace: Taudrey

This past weekend, I headed over to the Preakness Stakes races with the America’s Best Racing team. This is the super cute outfit that I intended to wear to the races, but it ended up being 55 and raining. Even though the weather was absolutely horrid, I had a blast!

I was looking for the perfect hat to wear, and I ended up stumbling across the cutest Etsy shop called Headcandi that is well known in the Kentucky Derby world. When I saw this fascinator I knew I had to rock it at Preakness! Headcandi also does custom orders as well, so if you already have your derby dress, you can get a hat or fascinator that will match your outfit perfectly. If you want to snag a hat or fascinator of your own, use the code “alicia20” for 20% off your purchase from now until June 9th. Happy derby season’ y’all!

    Hahah love that last little note you snuck in about your dad – cryingggggg.

    I went to a race with ABR 2 years ago and they were SO cool…and so knowledgeable about horse racing!

    Regardless, this is a cute outfit, as per usual!

    LOVE the blue dress on you! I’m obsessed with that color so this is right up my alley. I watched the Preakness on tv and can only imagine how the weather must have been!
    PS: I think I saw you at the NYX Cosmetics event a few months back and would love to say hello sometime 🙂
