You know the one. She's in college, or in her early twenties. She's wearing the newest, fanciest dress from Ann Taylor Loft or White House Black Market. She's all spaghetti straps and sandals, weather report be damned. She's had one too many at the Sports Bar. And she thinks she's adorable.
I always want to grab That Girl. Depending on my mood (and whether I'm winning), I either want to hug her or shake some sense into her. Either way, I want to give her some sisterly advice. Hopefully this blog can serve as a public forum to provide that advice to potential That Girls all over the Bluegrass. Here goes:
- The first week of April in Kentucky is cold. It's generally during redbud winter. Cover yourself with a nice cardigan. That new sundress will be totally appropriate by Stakes.
- If it's raining, cold or both, your sandals look silly.
- I don't care what Stacy London says, don't wear white before Easter. It's preferable to hold off until after Derby, but Easter is the absolute earliest.
- Don't order that last drink. You've had more than you think, and it's a long walk back to the car.
The track is a lovely place to spend the day, ladies. It isn't a frat party. Don't be That Girl.
