A day at the races is fun, however, being at the track all day outdoors in a dressy outfit with unpredictable weather can be daunting. Life is much easier if you prepare ahead of time with a few essential items! 1. If wearing heels, walk from parking to the track in flip flops. Change into your regular shoes once you are at your seats! You will want to opt for rain boots if it is a rainy day! 2. Emergency sewing kit and add some safety pins and Bobbie pins. Straps break, buttons pop and hats fly! Be prepared 3. Clear rain poncho! Get these early! I searched and search one year the day before Derby and people were selling them at 10.00-20.00 off the street. Normally only 2.00-3.00. 4. Rain cover for your hat! Get one! Those hats can cost quite a bit and feathers and rain are not a good mix. 5. Clear bag. While not required, it can make entry much easier. 6. Small first aid kit for blisters, stubbed toes and headache meds. These items will lend to a more enjoyable Derby Day should life’s little emergencies arise. LTKparties LTKxTarget LTKstyletip
