A Day at the Races

We had a great day out at the Cheltenham Festival back in March on Gold Cup Day( so I'm just a tinsy bit late in posting this! ). For once I came back in profit and fortified by pints of Guinness and the occasional nip of Whisky and Ginger!

I kinda went for an 'Extra from a Miss Marple' look with a vintage 40's/50s hat which certainly was a bit different from the rather orange tan hued 'Ladies' in summer frocks/facinators/high heeled sandels ( my Dears this is CHELTENHAM IN MARCH not ladies day at Ascot.....). So top marks for effort but goosebumped, streaky tan legs is not a good look on anyone. Also a lot of Ladies in tweedy jackets/skirts but with pink/lime/mauve varients, either with a matching trilby style hat or Russion'y fur head band thingy and Brasher boots. Actually a much better look but so many people sporting it that it is obviously the equivalent of velour leisurewear for the toffs/wannabes....
