Santa Anita Opening Day… Color Color and more Color!

David Jones race wear parade

Santa Anita Opening Day is one of the anticipated days in racing! This is one of the best tracks to see and be seen. Dress your best and go out with friends for a great day of racing, cocktails and just some stylish fun. The weather in Arcadia, CA is going to be gorgeous. Highs in the 80’s with the beautiful sun shining.

Even though we are heading into fall, California plays by its own rules. With the temperature still pushing 90 degrees we are free to wear our summery best. What should you wear to this years opening day?? Color, color and more color!Around+Melbourne+Cup+Day+6A-igVQPaY7l

With no knowledge of when the temperatures will actually turn colder, you may as well use the heat while you can! Leave the darker colors at home for this day. Bold and bright are your winners. Lipstick Red, Royal Blue, Emerald Greens and Canary yellow are perfect color choices.

Make sure your millinery is an accent to the bright colors in your outfit whether it be through a contrasting bright color or a corresponding print. Be a bit daring and try a bright lip color that ties in with the rest of your outfit. Keep the rest of your makeup light and more on the natural side. Make sure you bring the lipstick in your clutch for touch ups!

Have fun with your outfit for this day! It’s not going to be summer for too much longer and this great day allows you to keep your summer clothes out and show them off! (Also a great time to shop for new summer clothes with all the sales going on heading into fall!! *wink)

See the outfit below for inspiration!
