Last day before a wet race day- survival tips

 So you are a hardy type who does not let a few mm of rain stop you, here are some fashion suggestions-

• Shoes- don't wear your best ones, stay away from suede, straps and crazy height. If you will be indoors all day then you may fit a pair of glam shoes in the hand bag and arrive and leave in more practical ones.
• Your hat- Don't get it wet. Take an umbrella, a plastic bag or whatever you need to keep it dry, the sight of a piece of millinery frippery drenched is most unattractive and is irreversible. It will never fully recover.
• Everything else. Dress for the day, cocktail dresses in daytime look silly, strappy summer dresses and goose bumps on a cool day look equally awkward. 
• Have fun, be patient & enjoy the day... back a winner!
