Next month I’ll be attending my very first horse race. Unsurprisingly, I’m far more concerned with finding the perfect outfit than the horses. J.Mclaughlin’s Gilchrist seems to be the perfect compromise! Horses+dress=equestrian chic!

Oh Equestrian Chic is my fav second to nautical! This is adorable!
Both of the Carolina Cup's I've gone to, I've worn J. McLaughlin dresses. I like them because they are something different to the standard Lilly or Vineyard Vines. Have fun!
So cute! You would definitely stand out from the crowd in this one! I've never been to a horse race either and am dying to go. Can't wait to hear all about it! xoxo katie
Love that dress. I am so bummed– tried to look at their site but it's down! darn. I wanted to see what else the company that designed this darling frock has. definitely take photos at the race!
Perfect! The hat will be the icing on the cake! Even if you go for a traditional natural color, you could add an orange or brown grograin ribbon. Can't wait to see photos!

I've never been to a horse race. Make sure to give us a play-by-play once you return. I'm curious!
The races are SOOOO FUN!!!!! I snatched up the JM Harbor dress in a horsey print earlier this spring for race season, dressing up is 1/2 the fun!
Love, love, love that dress! Take lots of pictures!
You will be so chic, please have several mint juleps for me!
What a fun dress!
So cute! You would definitely stand out from the crowd in this one! I've never been to a horse race either and am dying to go. Can't wait to hear all about it! xoxo katie

Fabulous choice! A day at the races is such fun! Mint juleps for sure.
Check out my Lydia horse belt- great with a cute skirt, ruffle shirt and cardigan!

What a perfect dress! I've seen the other J. McLaughlin derby pattern in person, but must say I like this one better. Especially since it's orange!
cute dress–remember to get some killer heels to match–and have lots of fun!
I'm a little jealous I think!
Don't forget a big hat with flowers, huge sunglasses, adorable kitten heel shoes, and gloves for holding that champagne glass.
that sounds like a lot of fun… bring your camera and share the images with us!
A little envious & yes, love the dress!! A hat is a must as well!!
