The races, despite the bad weather, were great fun. I managed to win the last four races, and Angus managed to win the second and third. Our table, which seemed to be copiously refilled with bottles of champagne, was sat right next to the finish line.
We were this close to the fantastic horses.
The sound of their galloping hooves was amazing. Utterly, completely amazing. It put me in a trance, it was something you feel in the back of your throat.

I want your hat!
I'm going to hunt you down and nick, leaving only a small pile of jellybeans where it once was. You'll be so taken with the beans that you won't notice the hat is gone until it's too late!
That's so insane it might actually work....
AxXx

And, yes. The polka-dot print skirt is lovely, too.

I'm going to break with the crowd here. I really don't want the hat.
But it looks wonderful on you!

Um, I don't want to snitch your silly hat. That doesn't mean I don't like it;-) I do! Just I can't think of a single occasion where I could wear it:-) And I don't think I would make it look as charming.

Always wondered about the British and their hats. Glad you came away with some cash.

Now, I love the hat, but if I wore that around here, it'd be like a one-way ticket to a special room that is padded just for me...
Looks divine on you though!

The outfit is absolutely perfect. The skirt and the hat SCREAM a day at the races. Hopefully the copious amounts of champagne haven't left you a casualty of the bubbly hangover.

See, I couldn't ever wear that hat because genetics has cursed me with a tiny head. Therefore, I'd always look like the last picture. You look like you should be a "professional horse race goer" in that hat. It suits you.

Damn, why do I love you so much? If I didn't, I'd hate you for being so utterly, completely gorgeous.
A day at the races becomes you.

Ahem. Surely THAT is not the "big silly hat?" Because that is a smart, chic hat!
I want one, too. Of course. Very Ascot and "Pygmalion." :: grins ::
LOOOOOOOOKING GOOOOOD, girlie girl!
