In just a couple of weeks, all eyes will be on Churchill Downs for the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby. Between now and then, we’d recommend doing a few things. First, figure out your Derby plans. Whether you’ll be in Kentucky for the fesitvities, or just watching with friends, make the plan now. Second, make sure your mint julep recipe is dialed in. In our opinion, simple is the way to go. Finally, you’ll need to pick the right bowtie for your Derby Day activities. The Mint Julep Bow from High Cotton Ties is certainly a front runner for us.
Handmade down in North Carolina, the Mint Julep Bow is perfect for any Spring or Summer activity, but with that name the Derby is definitely a great place to break it out for the first time. With a mint green base, this madras bow includes hits of pink, blue, yellow, and even brown. Together, the look is outstanding. In fact, we’re debating picking up the matching braces as well. Normally we aren’t to keen on matching things exactly, but this is an exception we’re willing to make.
