fancy pants {fashions on the field}



Oh my!  What a weekend!  

Invited to a country race meet, by the main sponsors.  My hubby and are were treated to a day out (yes, without children) and were spoilt with the pleasure of being amoungst a great group of people, in a marquee, lovely food and the champagne was flowing....




But, then, alas I look at my race form guide and notice the Fashions on the Field was due to start in 30 minutes - "Oh I must go watch!" I say.  "Watch - huh!  I think you should go in it!"  was the reply i got from a few on my mates on the table.....


With more and more crowding around me, egging me on...I was not about to disappoint them!  So I entered, just for fun, not really thinking my outfit race-wear worthy!  I literally raced out the day before to get a fascinator! 



But lo-and-behold!  I came in third!  Oh, reminiscent of the day I also came third in another race, this one seemed much more fun!  

Linking up with a fashion winner always.....

The first picture in the post made it into the Local Chronicle - your can check it out here.

  2. Wooooohoooooo! Well done you! I entered a Fashion in the Field a few months ago and they pretty much took me out the back and shot me like they do to other old nags. So I think your success is fabulous!

    That looks like a great time. Is that a celeb in the first pic?
