The real competition at Churchill Downs isn’t between the horses, my dear. It’s between the women’s hats.
May I recommend this entry? Lush, romantic, impossible to overlook. People down in the infield will assume you have a thoroughbred in the running; just give them that little wave.
2008 Derby Day Hat (No. 2257). Fine Golden straw crown and wide brim with swoops and curves that change from every angle. Large, lush floral band in artful shades of Pink, Pale Green, and Cream. Handmade by a European company that’s been at it since Riley won the roses (1890).
Size: inside sizing band fits most.
 Romance of the Pearl. Born from the tears of angels. Universal symbol of purity and worth. For centuries, forbidden to be worn by anyone less than a Medici.

 Champagne Pearl Earrings (No. 2300). Pearls and crystals strung on fine filament, look suspended in mid-air; with sterling silver hook for pierced ears.Dimensions: approx. 1-3/4" long. |
