Stakes Day

As promised the last instalment of looks for the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. Spring Racing Carnival ends with Stakes Day, otherwise known as family day. 

Keeping in mind family day has a much more relaxed atmosphere and usually involves running around after children.. fashion for Stakes Day replicates the theme of family and takes on a much more relaxed feel. It typically encompasses florals, colour, maxi-dresses and for most mums- flat shoes.

I've chosen four looks suitable for all yummy mummies. I've paired them with flats keeping in mind that I don't think pushing a pram around or holding a toddler in sky scraping heels is the most comfortable or desirable look- However feel free to get in touch for some heeled options, if you're past the days of pushing around prams or chasing toddlers. 

If your not heading trackside this year, all of the featured looks work just as well at family barbecues and long lunches. 

Enjoy and heres hoping all you yummy mummies get the opportunity to sneak in at least one glass of champagne!
