Welcome to Shop Bargainista’s Derby inspired look guide where we share Derby inspired bargains to prepare you for the greatest two minutes in sports and have you ready to run for the roses and our bargains of course. We're talking Derby to you so let's get started!
Derby season is rapidly approaching and if you’re a Louisville, KY native, then you know we play no games when it comes to it Derby season. From oversized hats, to insane fascinators and oh so chic outfits we have you covered at Shop Bargainista with all the inspiration you need. What’s even better? The inspirational bargains from today’s blog are totally up for purchase right on our site.
First and foremost, lets talk Derby fashion in general. It is an absolute must to rock a fascinator, a fabulous hat and a fierce fit. These are the three keys to a successfully chic Derby fit. Let’s start with a fascinator and hat! Whether you decide to go for an over the top look or keep it simple, yet chic, you have to come correct when it comes to your head piece. You can’t come incorrect with your outfit either of course. Whether you make a statement or keep it solid and simple you’ll need to find the perfect look to coordinate with your headpiece of choice. So much to think about huh? Don’t forget we also have to keep in mind accessories (handbag, jewelry and shoes). So much to do, so little time, but that’s what we’re here for, inspiration and for you to simply click the links and plan your looks!
Derby Inspiration Look 1: Red Hot
Red, lace and giving classy chic, I paired this beautiful Soprano dress with a red faux leather gold studded crossbody. I decided to add my gold bangles to tie in the colors to match this fabulous fascinator.
I love supporting other creatives so when I stumbled upon Barbs fascinators on Facebook marketplace, I just knew I had to support. All the fascinators pictured are mine that I've purchased from her and they are all so fierce aren't they?! How will I pick what I'm wearing to Thurby, sighhh! Anyway, she is so talented and makes beautiful fascinators at affordable prices and you know Shop Bargainista loves a bargain. We will link her Facebook marketplace where you can shop fascinators she currently has in stock.

Derby Inspired Look 2: Neutrally Fierce
You can never go wrong with neutral colors. This Jason Wu floral print dress with peekaboo opening and side zip is a great option. I paired it with dark cream Badgley Mischka clutch that has a removable chain. Both of these will be linked below and are available for purchase on Shop Bargainista. As for the fascinator, Barb strikes again. It’s neutral and there are so many ways you can style it. I've linked everything below!!

Personally, this is my favorite Derby inspired look because I absolutely can’t get enough of color. This Tadashi Shoji floral embroidered dress is such a colorful dream. You’ll be giving run for the roses with the beautiful embroidered roses throughout this dress. The shear lace bell sleeves only top it off! I paired it with this Zara emerald quilted handbag that is complete with a chunky brushed gold chain!
