And, They're Off!

Horse racing season -- a time-honored tradition around the world -- is near!
This week we salute the fun of a day at the races, vintage-style. Items may include: Spectators, Hermes and equestrian style garb; sports shirts, sports jackets, women's sportswear, including skirt/pant suits; men's hats from fedoras to straw sun hats to jockey caps to top hats; women's hats from the fanciful creations flaunted at Royal Ascot and Kentucky Derby to fascinators, sun hats and afternoon/daytime sporty toppers; gloves, sunglasses, and colorful silk items in honor of the jockey silks worn during the race.
