Not only are they excellent for all sorts of things, you can get away with wearing a much more flashy ensemble if you have a well dressed male with you. That way, you don't look too desperate for attention.Rosie Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369401676259724111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061785856443661807.post-42873177585039303632009-10-30T10:38:24.934+11:002009-10-30T10:38:24.934+11:00a man should never remove his jacket at the raceco...a man should never remove his jacket at the racecourse... the stewards wouldn't hear of it!<br /><br />my biggest tip is to moderate your alcohol consumption for many more hours of fun.<br /><br />take the train... don't even think about driving as you'll just get frustrated and stuck in traffic or be like my mother-in-law and end uup out at the race track at 8.30 am because of your fears about the traffic<br /><br />also plan a lovely dinner afterwards at one of your favourite places and all of your friends... gives a nice round out to a lovely day outweenie_elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351069076057033043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061785856443661807.post-21406976356298116222009-10-30T10:05:47.550+11:002009-10-30T10:05:47.550+11:00Great tips!

Another good idea is to take along all manner of 'party feet'(or similar) products they are a godsend when your shoes start hurting!Buccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982746831531209112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061785856443661807.post-23125002665550045142009-10-29T17:59:03.643+11:002009-10-29T17:59:03.643+11:00Lovely tips Miss V - I live near Flemington raceco...Lovely tips Miss V - I live near Flemington racecourse so every year I get a good view of what everyone looks like after a day at the races, and mostly it's not pretty - so I offer the following:<br /><br />- Choose something that is comfortable, and will still look good after you've been wearing it all day. Avoid tight satin dresses unless you wish to look like a sausage!<br />- Repeat after me: shoes stay on the feet! If you must, pack a comfortable pair of flatties for when you've had enough: much better than walking bare foot and swinging your strappy stillettos.<br />- Take sunscreen with you, for reapplication. <br />- Don't wear a big or uncomfortable hat that you'll want to take off after a while. This is part of point 1.<br />- Either take a jacket or a well dressed man who will lend you his. It can be a long day and the weather can change quite a bit.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118013296134857552noreply@blogger.com
