Still fresh off my visit to the Belmont Stakes, I’m putting together a few easy-to-wear outfits for a day at the races or really any weekend occasion.  A colorful sundress and an easy-to-grab clutch are a no-brainer combo,  but it’s the interesting headgear that will really make your look stand out.  Go for a big floppy hat or if you’re feeling extra fancy, top your outfit with a darling little fascinator!
