A Day at the York Races - Outfit nbr 3

From 21 Aug - 24 Aug, a day at the York Races in August will be no ordinary racing day as the Yorkshire Ebor Festival is again hosting the Fashion on the Field Competition, so another excuse to get your glad rags on.
So what to wear?

Here's Outfit nbr Three:
For patterned dresses pick out a colour already present in the print. Don’t always think of the main colour, choose one that is not so obvious, this way you will have a more unique look.

Monsoon’s floral Jacquard prom dress is vintage inspired with a rose bouquet print on a subtle gold background. (In the image the dress does look more silver but it definitely has a golden hue).  Price £129

For a classic look, team with a gold clutch and nude shoes to match the main floral colour of golden yellow and the golden sheen background.  For your headpiece you could carry on the gold theme with a Gold or yellow hat, or for contrast pick out the green, blue or pink in the print. 

If you decide to choose coloured accessories, these metallic pink Alvino court shoes are ideal as they enhance the small amount of pink in the dress and the metallic works well with the sheen of the dress. Price £79

However don’t overkill the pink. If you decide on a pink hat, then change either the shoes or the bag.

And if you’re entering we wish you the best of luck!!

Rather than the safer neutrals of black, navy and beige, keep up the colour block theme and go for a neutral green shade with Unisa Pilar sling backs Were £115 now £57.50. You may not automatically consider green to be a neutral shade but think green leaves on fruit. This also keeps your options open for the colours for your headpiece.
