A day At the Races

Toowoomba has a big horse racing culture and our premier race day is being held on our show holiday - 31st March. I LOVE the races ...
I found this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. vintage fascinator at Vinnies the other day for a measley $6.00.

P1040808

Now I'm looking for a dress to wear to the races to compliment it. Maybe I should even think about a skirt and top combo. I'm thinking cream or navy but would love to hear suggestions as well. There are some gorgeous dresses at Myer at the moment including a perfect Review dress (with a not so perfect price tag) but I don't want to be wearing the same thing as anyone else. I'm watching some Alannah Hill dresses on eBay at the moment cos I adore just about everything she brings out.
Some styles I like which may not be the right colour... asos is calling me - free Worldwide Shipping!

Forever Unique @ asos - $153 USD
 
Rare @ asos - $62 USD

Arrogant Cat @ asos - $108 USD

 
Forever Unique @ asos - $161 USD

asos bow shoulder dress - $48 USD - LOVE the back
asos premium lace trim organza dress - $41 USD
Arrogant Cat @ asos - pinch my waist dress - $86 USD. LOVE the colour
 
asos BLACK olive green dress - $100 USD. Very unique dress and Ilove the back but not sure about the colour.

French Connection cross back dress - $108 uSD. LOVE LOVE LOVE the colour.
I don't really think many of these dresses will compliment my fascinator. Have you seen a dress today that might? Send me the link!

Hope you have some amazing shoes to top it all off :)

PS new challenge....since the peterpan collar seems to be coming back into the UK spring fashion, something from neverneverland :)
