It's such an excited time in the city and so many things to do. Below are a couple of different outfit ideas for the Preakness. I will be giving away two tickets to the Black Eyed Susan event on this Friday May 15th which is a perfect girls day out and filled with tons of activities and a live performances. To enter all you need to do is re-post your favorite outfit I've created, mention me (@jalexstyle) and use the handles #AmericasBestRacing and #AmericasBestFashion.

Wearing a skirt set may be your best choice if you're the girl who's torn between looking to dressy or too casual. This TopShop set is a funky look that translates for any event at the Preakness. Also don't be afraid to pair it with fun flats or even sneakers for a more chill occasion.

This Mary Kantrantzou dress is a more traditional route to take for the Preakness. If you're wearing any floral dress (which just about everyone will) try and mix your shoes and accessories up. Dare to wear a pump with a contrasting print or bright color or opting for a fascinator as suppose to a wide brimmed hat.

And my favorite outfits are these wide leg trousers paired with a fun cropped top. Now I know this isn't the most traditional look but it's funky and fun. Personally I'm more of pants over skirt kind of gal. Pants are just a fun alternative and can almost guarantee comfort throughout the day. Now of course you can do a slim leg pant but the wide leg not only is great for taller girls like myself but it creates a slimming effect for any woman. For this look I wouldn't go for a hat. In my opinion less is more and the pants speak for themselves.
