Love the shoes

If you take a lunch to work, you can portion out the serving size of the dressing on Sunday

Footwear mistakes: Stiletto heels sink into grass and mud, choose wedges, block heels, or dressy flats instead Brand-new shoes will blister after hours of standing, break them in before Derby Day Flip-flops and sneakers look out of place everywhere except the most casual infield areas Outfit mistakes: Wearing something you cannot move, sit, or breathe in, Derby Day is long, and comfort matters Skipping sun protection, Louisville in early May means direct sun for hours, so a hat serves function as well as fashion Over-matching hat and dress in the exact same color and pattern, coordinate, do not match Weather mistakes: Not checking the forecast, the Kentucky Derby has seen rain, 30-degree heat, and unseasonably cool temperatures across different years Forgetting a light layer, temperatures drop in the late afternoon, and a pashmina or linen jacket saves you Wearing heavy fabrics designed for cooler weather, save your wool blazers and structured jackets for fall If you are also planning beach trips or warm-weather events later in May, many Derby pieces, sundresses, wedge sandals, straw hats, transition beautifully into summer casual wear

Expectant mothers will appreciate the high empire waistline as it makes a beautiful full length maternity maxi dress, flowing pregnancy gown or even a beautiful baby shower dress
