Wow! Those hats are gorgeous, but the one I'm wearing is considerably smaller since I'm so short. We're invited to a small informal party,but we're wearing hats. :)Glad to see you posting.I saw on the weather channel that there were storms near you. Prayers going up for all in the storm area.
Hugs,

Hey Alison! I've always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby, but I'm not really a hat wearer lol......love some of these, though. You'll laugh but tonight we were at a social thing at the Dunhan Woods Riding Club near us and I couldn't believe that some of the women were actually wearing hats fit for the derby! Guess I have a lot to learn!

What fun! I love to wear hats, Alison. I vote for the one courtesy of Churchill Downs. What a fabulous shape and color. Which would you choose? ~ Sarah
totally inspired me, alison.
i'm on the hunt for a new hat now!

Oh I would wear Burning Blush, in fact I have one that is quite similar. I love hats, but I look terrible in them. Such a fun post. Now which one would you wear? Hugs, Marty
I would so wear a gorgeous hat if I were going. They are all spectacular, love that last one, soo pretty and the color is fabulous!
I am fortunate enough to be invited to a Derby party every year where the race is broadcast and a wonderful Kentucky buffet is served and mint juleps are sipped. This year, thanks to Kate Middelton, I will be wearing a fascinator!
Those are some fine looking hats. I just love hats and love wearing them. I think I will go with the lime green just for fun! And I also happen to love horses as well, so I am all set for the Derby! Diane
I have never looked good in a hat, and that is why if I was going, YES I would wear one. The funnier the better at my age.

What fun hats...lets see what hat would I choose to wear..It would be either Chamberry Cherry or So in Love. I had fun dreaming of all the pretty hats I would wear if I were going to the Kentucky Derby. Maybe one day I will be at the Derby sporting a lovely hat.
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
I won't be going this year to the Kentucky Derby but I love big hats.
Those are some gorgeous hat photos.
Love lots of frills and flowers on one.

I love hats and these really go all out. Making them is an art.
The one with the big pink rose and black is truly the bomb!Richard from My Old Historic House.
Oh- Those are all so gorgeous. My sil and my two nieces are going there this year and have their hats and dressed ordered. It is all very hush-hush as to what they are wearing...and we won't know until we see pictures. Aren't they ALL just gorgeous, though? xo Diana
I would wear a big beautiful hat if I were going to this event. To bad we don't wear hats in our country. I love hats but haven't worn one since my mom put me in them as a child, except for the beach hat of course.
These are all beautiful Alison.

Those hats are stunning...love the purple one!
I feel like I am back watching the Royal Wedding...
What a great tradition...I think I am more of a "Fastenator" type girl!
Hi Alison, how are ya! Oh I would sure love to go the Dervy..I loved horse race when I was single, I saw Superfecta in the 70's a couple of times in NY, it was great! I loved hats when I was younger too and I do still. I would wear a hat at the KD, for sure! Thanks for your lovely visit, I love it when you come. Have a blessed week my friend. Hugs,

Loving this post ~ my son is going to attend UK next year so my hubby and I are planning to attend the Derby. We have friends that have a Derby party every year so I am always redoing my hat to look different. Going to the real Derby I will have to buy a new hat! So many choices!!
:)Heidi
I love hats, and that FIRST one is my choice, hands down! I have been told I look good in purple or lavender and the style of that one I love!!!! Wish I could go to the race! XO, Pinky
I LOVE them all and I would wear everyone of them! So beautiful and so much fun. I love race days and the colour and excitement are second to none! Have a lovely week
best wishes
Frances
