Hello,
Race fever has hit us with the Australian spring racing carnival currently under way. Derby Day being one of the biggest days on the calendar is traditionally black and white in the fashion arena. The races are the perfect occasions to step outside the safe zone, get the creative juices flowing and experiment with different styles. Whether it be dramatic, theatrical or tailored elegance, there is so much you can do with the humble black and white.
Below are three outfits to inspire you.
Happy punting. X

The dress speaks volumes – no hat required.
