Oaks Day is the day before the Derby and everyone is encouraged to wear pink! Breast cancer survivors are honored and a portion of proceeds from the day goes towards breast cancer research and awareness charities. Knowing this, I picked a blush dress that would be perfect for Oaks Day and brunch with friends.

Blush Handkerchief Dress for Kentucky Oaks Day | The Shoes
I’m all about wedges for comfort reasons and these off white Michael Kors wedges surprisingly fit the bill despite the height. The off white is perfect for the blush, corals, and pinks that we love for Oaks day outfits too. It’s always important to me to have shoes that have an ankle strap for days on the track as it would be the worst time to accidentally kick off a sandal.

Blush Handkerchief Dress for Kentucky Oaks Day | The Dress
This dress is a little outside of my usual as I don’t typically reach for midi or handkerchief cut dresses but I love the 3D look of the flowers appliqués! While this dress is a strong Oaks day contender, its also a great option to wear as a wedding guest outfit. And as is my trend, I love that the bodice is fitted and the skirt has a flare with its layers.

Blush Handkerchief Dress for Kentucky Oaks Day | The Fascinator
Love love love this fascinator because it pulls the blush from this dress and combines it with hot pink which I think takes the look from casually pink for Oaks to HELLO I am -here- for Kentucky Oaks! Almost immediately when I saw this fascinator, the whole look came together in my head. {Anyone else ever have those moments while shopping?}

Over the weekend, I got in hot pink earrings from Ten & Two and knew they’d be a perfect match. {BONUS: If you use code NICOLE30 in their online shop, you’ll get 30% off and free shipping.} The beaded pink ovals match the sinamay perfectly.
