What I Wore: Black White Dress + Red Fascinator + Red Shoes


My favorite part about attending the Alpha Derby Party is getting ready for the Alpha Derby Party! I love themed events because I look forward to planning my outfit! Also, once I am at the event, I love to people watch and see how others interpret the theme too. I actually did a post about my favorite looks from the Derby Party HERE.

It actually took less than two weeks to decide on my thrifted outfit and the total cost was under $30. I already had this dress and wore it earlier this year to a friend's birthday party. The theme was black and white, so this dress was perfect. I scored it for only $10 at Civvies in Savannah, GA. By the way, this store has the most amazing vintage and resale fashion! My shoes were scored from Alexis Suitcase Consignment Buckhead location. These Steve Madden STS Heels retail for $129. Alexis Suitcase price was $19.

Now that I had the dress, the next step is deciding on a hat. I co-hosted a Derby Party event at Talbots and the Grand Diva also participated as a vendor. She came to the event with her collection of Derby hats and just my luck, I saw this red fascinator and immediately fell in love! I knew that I already had the shoes and I borrowed the clutch from my BFF Wendy of Just Jewels 4 U. So everything fell into place and I was Derby Party ready!
