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!

This past Saturday, Tracy and I took a trip on the Long Island Rail Road over to Belmont Stakes, the third and final leg of the US Triple Crown (look at me pretending to know something about horse racing!).  It was a fabulous escape from the city, complete with big hats, sundresses and mimosas.  I couldn’t have asked for a better time — minus the fact that I lost $11 in bets (high roller, I know).
