Derby Dress

Ever since I saw this dress on the runway, I knew I needed it in my life! I was randomly seated in the first row at the Erin Fetherston show last September and it was love at first sight — I even posted a photo of the dress on Instagram!

With spring seemingly waiting right around the corner, I’ve had dresses on the mind. I’m ready to ditch my heavier separates and start my seasonal sporting of dresses all day, everyday. And with the Kentucky Derby next weekend, it’s the perfect excuse to break out a new dress!

I’ve been using Rent the Runway for events for years and years. I believe my first experience was back in 2009 — I used to get dresses for events in college on the reg! Since I’m trying to be a bit more budget-savvy this spring, I decided to get my fix of this dress for just a few days, rather than buying it. (Plus, it’s sold out everywhere in my size. So there’s that.)

If you’re still looking for a Derby dress, be sure to check out the selection on Rent the Runway. They’ve got a whole section dedicated to the event!
