Spring Racing Outfits 2013

This time next week is the Melbourne Cup. How fast has this  year gone? I love this time of year with the new season offerings of dresses just in time for Spring Racing Season and the Christmas Parties that follow on the next month.

I decided to put together two Spring Racing Outfits. One is floral using a maxi dress and the other is a plain colour dress jazzed up with an accent colour. I love florals and colour in Spring and these trends are perfectly acceptable to be worn at the races. The outfits are budget friendly because as everyone knows, you can’t wear the same outfit every year and when you are buying a dress and the necessary shoes and accessories to match, it can cost a fortune to pull an outfit together.

Because I am a mum and I haven’t been very organized this year, I will be at home watching the race while my girls are asleep – providing I don’t have any plumbing work that crops up – but it’s highly unlikely because most businesses and residents are focused on the Melbourne Cup too.

Anyway, here are my two suggestions for Spring Racing Outfits for 2013. Some of the images are hazy because I am still learning how to format pictures, but you get the gist of what I’m trying to show you.
