You look marvelous. I like the pure white blouse better--it softens the vest. Something about the blouse with &nbsp;the black trim looks like a Las Vegas casino dealer--not bad at all, it's quite fun, but just not as elegant as #1. I'm in awe of your creativity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1386211 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 20:32:59 +0000 Anonymous 1386211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for outfit #1. Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1386135 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 18:41:56 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1386135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much outfit love here too, and I'll just add that my preference is also the vest as the jacket pushes the ensemble into an equestrian look (white pants + riding jacket), and for this event you probably don't want to resemble a&nbsp;jockey even if you are a fabulous one! Oh, and enjoy the Breeder's cup. I haven't been to Santa Anita since the '84 Olympics equestrian events...great memories!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385834 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 03:10:47 +0000 Jaime 1385834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

First of all K, this outfit blows it out of the ball park. Soooooo fun.&nbsp;I vote #1 all the way. Top hat fascinator will be a brilliant addition. Killer to the power of Killer. &nbsp;And you need a bamboo cane.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Look at your dear little recently adopted pups wanting in on the photo action.</i><b> I LOVE IT.&nbsp;</b>It made my day seeing them in your pics. Much love, and have a ball. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385747 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 00:04:47 +0000 Mia 1385747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is something about the first one. &nbsp;Have a blast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385736 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:48:06 +0000 Sal 1385736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all unique and fun and flattering...I think I prefer the vest to the jacket, and I think my first favourite is the puffy shirt...maybe because it reminds me of Colin Firth./Mr Darcy in the original BBC Pride and Prejudice. &nbsp;Anything that reminds me of him is a total winner in my books.</p> <p>But honestly they all look fab, go with what is comfortable for the weather and what you prefer!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385727 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:35:48 +0000 Karie 1385727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look fantastic. I like 1 - 4 the best, with 3 &amp; 4 being the slight favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385722 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:32:45 +0000 lynn 1385722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket with the piped blouse! You will be smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385706 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:03:36 +0000 Niki Lea 1385706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! Sounds like it's going to be a blast.&nbsp;</p> <p>All of your outfits look incredible - I like&nbsp;the top with the black piping in 3 &amp; 4 the best. But honestly, I don't think you can go wrong here. SO awesome!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-outfit-for-big-race-day#post-1385705 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 23:00:16 +0000 karymk 1385705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Friends, I need you!</p> <p>I am going to the Santa Anita Derby on Saturday, it's the Breeder's Cup&nbsp;and I DON'T want to wear a frilly dress and hat. &nbsp;I want to do a menswear look, along the lines of "edwardian gentleman." &nbsp;We are going with three other couples, all the ladies will be in dresses and hats. &nbsp;We get to go up in a limo so we can indulge all day and not worry about getting home in one piece.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>The feather shown is not the hat I will be wearing,</b> I have ordered a mini top hat fascinator type gizmo that should be very unique and complement this outfit if I can pull it together <b>(see below).</b>&nbsp; But this feather clip should give you a good idea of how the outfit will look with a top piece. &nbsp;Don't forget I will have nice makeup and red lips. &nbsp;Today I look like crap.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are my options. &nbsp;I was going to wear the <b>black satin Chanel jacket (detail below)&nbsp;</b>with the black tipped fitted shirt, but then I remembered I had this black Anne Fontaine lace up vest and the "puffy shirt" from GAP. &nbsp;<b>What I DONT like about the vest is that it is in a brocade fabric and I don't know how that goes with the windowpane pattern.. Do I care??</b></p> <p>The BR windowpane&nbsp;pants and<b> boots (closeup below)&nbsp;</b>have to stay. &nbsp;The boots are suede and if you zoom you can see they have satin-beribboned grommets running up the back ooh la la!</p> <p>I wish I had an antique walking stick to carry, maybe I can find one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Which combo do you like best? Do you like the pearl drop earrings with this ensemble? I have a huge gold signet ring I will wear. &nbsp;Red lips, nails. Hair will be in a low bun, maybe a curly pinned bun, for riding of course.</p> <p><b>Please excuse the sloppy styling.</b> &nbsp;My husband gave me THREE minutes to make the costume changes, so I haven't properly tucked and adjusted everything!</p> <p>Thank you Dahlings!</p> </p> <p>Photobomb courtesy of the two little chis I took in...</p> <p>K</p> </p>
