I Spy A Preppy

 To steal from a friend and blogger Tickled Pink and Green, I'm going to use the phrase "I Spy A Preppy."  And for good reason too!

Husband and I attended a wedding that literally looked like a Kentucky Derby party that broke out into a wedding.  That is exactly what the couple intended and just after the receiving line and a mint julep from a fountain, we gathered to watch the running of the Derby (where the mulitple Kentuckians broke out into My Old Kentucky Home without fear of scrutiny over singing voices - it was great, felt like home).

Moving on, while watching the Derby, I spotted this couple:


She is wearing Lilly, of course, and looks gorgeous with her matching Derby-style hat.  Her purse matches his tie and hat, a pink and purple pattern.  But the real kicker (and you can't really see it in the picture), his suit is entirely seersucker!  The pants and jacket were a subtle khaki and white seersucker and it was so adorable.  Other than the bride and groom, this couple was considered the best dressed non-wedding party couple at the wedding.

Happy Tuesday y'all!  Don't forget enter my summer book giveaway!
