I Wish I Were In Lexington Weekend

I really wish I were in Lexington this weekend y'all! It's the ultimate autumn trifecta: A UK basketball game, Keeneland racing, and a UK football game. I can't make it there, and I'm feeling homesick, so I've put together the ultimate "I wish I were in Lexington" road trip checklist!

It's the best weekend of the year to take in all the best that Lexington has to offer!

The first stop on the Big Blue tour would be Friday afternoon's #seeblue day at Keeneland, showcasing the UK Cheer and Dance Teams, the Band, and the DanceBlue initiative!

Skirt and top: A New Day at Target; Pearls c/o Versona; Tory Burch Boots c/o Sassy Fox Consignment

Then I'd stop for a quick work break

and head out to the first UK Basketball game of the season.

Saturday morning, I'd go with a dressier look for a Keeneland Dining Room

Of course, tailgating is the next item on the agenda! I'm sure lots of folks I know will be out to see the big rivalry game versus Tennessee!

The forecast calls for a cold, rainy night, so I'd dress warm!

Are you headed to any of the weekend festivities in Lexington, or are you enjoying from afar like me?
