Southern Belles and Derby Hats

Hats and party dresses!

Dressing up for the Kentucky derby is so much fun! Big hats, pretty spring dresses, what could be better. I was inspired for this shoot by the amazing Susan Dillon who makes these gorgeous derby hats for her business Kitty Mae Millinery. Each hat is so unique and is hand detailed by Susan herself. They are the perfect accessory for your derby soiree! Whether you are a boho kind of girl, a girly girl or feeling tres tres chic, I hope you will be inspired by these three different looks for you derby attire!
