What’s She Doing Right?
We went in search of some of the best dressed women of Derby to dissect the
science to pulling together a head-turning outfit.

                                  Casey Sauls
                                  A The hat doesn’t overpower the dress. Its size is
                                  appropriate which strikes a nice balance from top to bottom.
                                  B Great connection in colors between the dress and shoes.
                                  Good continuity ties all the  pieces she is wearing together.
                                  Casey isn’t afraid of color and she knows how to use it to
                                  her best advantage.   Tip: Know your colors and what will
                                  best accentuate you — especially if you choose bold colors
                                  such as red. The wrong shade can zap all of the pizzazz out
                                  of your Derby garbs.
                                  C The purse is a good choice because it is more neutral;
                                  therefore, it doesn’t clash with the rest of the outfit. She
                                  uses color where she wants the most dramatic effect.


                                          Elizabeth Griffin
                                          A The hat is understated for a Derby
                                          hat which is smart when you have a dress with a
                                          complex print.
                                          B The dress doesn’t fall into the standard Derby style,
                                          but its unconventionality is what makes it appealing.
                                          Tip: No matter what you wear, you’ve got to have the
                                          confidence to carry it off well or it means nothing.
                                          Elizabeth doesn’t seem to have a problem in this area.
                                          She is going for something fun yet puts her own spin
                                          on it.
                                          C The chandelier earrings are a pleasantly
                                          unexpected addition.
                                          D Well-manicured toes — a must for shoes that
                                          expose this much of your feet.
