More from the races

Monday, May 12, 2008


If you read my other site already, then there will be quite a few repeats below, but honestly, Steeplechase was so fashionably prep-tastic that it seems necessary to show them again over here.






















And what did I wear? I took a serious cue from my Eliza Doolittle fantasies and went with black and white for the day (and bright pink for the afterparty). Really, it was the poofiest vintage dress I could find, and this picture doesn't really do justice to its seriously gauzy rufflyness. I added an extra touch of Southern-style ridiculousness by pinning an oversized flower to my shoulder that has left me with some very unusual tanlines. The hat – which I love and am totally going to wear around all summer – is from H&M; the sunglasses are my oversized freebies from Meeps.

my favorite is the dress with the cranes (?) on it, and I think I have to track down the man in the white suit + green shirt and make him marry me.

I bit too preppy for my liking. But, honestly, I am really jonesing for something seersucker. Like a nice, very tailored, shrunken blazer or some trouser shorts to wear with an old gray, slightly ripped tshirt (or a very worn in vintage lacoste or izod polo) and gladiator sandals.

Great post. Glad to know the prepsters can still keep it real with a beer bong!

I love all of these pics - great East Coast prep vibe. Especially fun to compare to pics from Coachella festival in CA - both outdoor events but miles apart style wise.

A man wearing Lily Pulitzer pants, I never thought I'd see that unless he was 80 years old! Your outfit is perfect!

Looks like everyone had a blast! Bright colours, blazing sun, lush green fields. And I'm amazed no one looks shiny tho it seems so hot - fresh and crisp!
