Cheltenham Ladies Day

When I found out Off the Peg had been chosen to attend Cheltenham Ladies Day as a blogger I was over the moon, this was our first ever blogging event!

 The morning of the races was an early start but after a big breakfast and a glass of champagne (it would be rude not too) I was ready for the day ahead! Let the traveling commence 2.5 hours later and we finally arrived in Cheltenham making our way to the Etail-PR offices where we were greeted with another glass of champagne and met the Etail-PR team who were absolutely lovey and very welcoming!

Finally we arrived at the racecourse! Although the sun didn’t make much of an appearance it didn’t stay dull for very long, as it was Ladies Day #ColourMeMarch thousands of women ascended upon the race course dressed to the nine, everywhere you looked it was an array of colours!

There’s something about the races, the atmosphere is amazing! You get some sort of buzz off everyone throughout the whole day, so as the races started the bets are coming in, now I wouldn’t say I make a habit of betting normally because I tend to loose every time! But Ladies Day I kept picking the winners, people kept asking me what tips I had (just picked the name I liked the look off) I think they thought I was joking!

As the last race was coming to a close so was my time at Cheltenham and what a fabulous day!      Off the Peg will certainly be making another appearance next year!

Thanks again Etail-PR

What I Would Wear To The Races

The most glamourous day in the racing calendar is nearly upon us, Cheltenham Races. With any sort of race day comes the dilemma of trying to find the perfect outfit, every year we must spend hours if not days searching for that perfect dress, shoes, bag and fascinator.

 I absolutely love the races, it’s a chance for you to get your glad rags on, sip champagne and put some bets on, can you get any more civilised?! 

Previous years I have gone to The Grand National or Ladies Day in Aintree which have never disappointed and always been brilliant days out.

Dressing for the occasion could be a little problematic, as the event is held in March it’s more than likely to still be cold and rain is most likely, dressing appropriately is a must, there’s nothing more I hate then being absolutely freezing at these events.

It’s quite a formal occasion Ladies Day, which means it’s acceptable to dig out the highest pair of shoes and biggest hat you own!

As for the outfit I don’t think I could get away with a really summery number, black could be classed as too wintery and white, well that could end in disaster!

 So I picked this dress from TFNC LONDON the dress design is made up of beads which makes it a little heavy when worn but it’s perfect for Ladies day! I would team this up with a pashmina to keep me a little warmer! I have some black Carvela shoes which would go perfect with this dress, plus they are so comfortable! Another must when you are at the races and finally to finish the look I would add this fascinator.

With a few more weeks to go there’s a good chance Ill change my mind (again) girls, I’m not on my own, right?
