Fashions on the Field

The best part of the Melbourne Cup is the fashions on the field. And this was proven yesterday by the winner, Ms Alex Foxcroft, a solicitor from Melbourne. She wore an outfit by "Variations on a Theme", from Melbourne (that's a new label for me which I plan to check out). Her look is elegant. It could be inspired by Valentino due to the colour and the cascade of ruffles. Crucially, she has kept her accessories to a minimum, which draws the eye to her hat. Her hat complements the ruffles on her dress perfectly. The lucky gal won over $90,000 in prizes including a new Lexus. Well deserved!
