the buzz
Keep a cool (and cute) head
this year at Steeplechase
H
orse race headdress got its start at the grand races in
Great Britain such as the Royal Ascot. However, when
the Kentucky Derby began in 1875, the trend crossed the
pond.
So, channel your inner Kate Middleton and choose a chic fascinator.
Or maybe a floppy sunhat or fedora will help you put your best face
forward at Steeplechase at the Carolina Horse Park this year.
If you want to get a little more creative, there's a contest every year
for "Best Hat." As time creeps closer to Steeplechase, check out local
stores for beautiful hats to adorn and add a little more "oomph" to
your sundress or trendy outfit. Local small business Rhudy's Jewelry
will consult on what hat will suit your personal style and place the
order for you.
Now you're ready to go off to the races!
