Melbourne Cup

Of course everyone knows that the Melbourne Cup has nothing at all to do with horses and planning your outfit is one of the highlights of the fashion year.  This year I went 'high-end' mixed with 'practically found on the side of the road'.

My dress is Prada and therefore almost ended my marriage, so I had to do some creative accessorising.  My jacket was $29 from Target, the turban was $11 from a wig shop and my gloves were part of a $5 magician dress up kit from Go-Lo.  God Bless Halloween.

An outfit like this is worthy of a glamourous venue right?  The Birdcage?  The Ivy?  The Supper Club?

I actually spent the day at our local bowling club and it was FANTASTIC.  No one cut off my drinks, mocked my dancefloor air guitar, charged me more than $4 for a drink or gave a shit when I had take my shoes off.
