Ascot fashion crisis- help me please

Very much a first world problem here, so crisis being used ironically well sort of

Heading to Ascot, Royal Enclosure, haven't been for years and years, so rather out of touch. I was planning on wearing the navy and black dress with the navy hat. Because of all the stuff about Victoria Beckham looking miserable at the royal wedding , I ordered some fabulous brightly coloured shoes from Vestiaire Collective. Sadly, two weeks later they are still ambling around the continent. So, the question is... do I go all chic but dark and dull in navy with black or nude heels?

Or could I wear this dress with navy hat and shoes? If I do what about a bag? Does the navy look a bit random? Should I use a bright clutch with the green (or with the navy) I have plundered various daughters' wardrobes and have bags in a fairly muted orange, dusky purple or fuchsia ( or a black clutch). Not really on for buying new bag/shoes/hat at this late stage, although I suppose I could get something to titivate the hat if needed.

So many questions!!! Please help me oh stylish ones!

You look great in all of them but I agree with katmunchkkn, navy dress and shoes with orange bag.
The green dress is lovely and will be perfect for graduation

Yes. Navy dress and navy shoes. Either clutch. You look great.

FresasAndFrambuesas · 20/06/2018 16:13

Definitely option 1. It looks like there's a tiny bit of pink on the decoration of the hat? If so the pink bag definitely best to bring it out. I also prefer the dark shoes to the nudes

QueenOfMyWorld · 20/06/2018 16:13

Bright coral bag and/ or shoes

QueenOfMyWorld · 20/06/2018 16:13

With the navy dress

AdaColeman · 20/06/2018 16:25

Navy dress and pink bag. You look smashing!

BusterTheBulldog · 20/06/2018 22:42

Navy for sure! You look amazing! Have a fab day Grin

Definitely option 1 but where did you get the green dress from as I love it.

ColinsVeryJolly · 20/06/2018 23:40

Option 1 for Ascot, but that green dress is GORGEOUS!!!

wentmadinthecountry · 20/06/2018 23:42

Navy is lovely for Ascot. Green is nice too - just not quite as together for this.

cathyandclare · 21/06/2018 07:08

Thanks, navy and pink it is!

Green is on sale here at Wolf and Badger I spontaneously clicked when someone shared a pic on S and B :)

Hope you won't be wearing it to a graduation next Wednesday Grin

You look fantastic Grin

What a gorgeous photo! You look amazing OP, the bag goes so well with the hat. Hope you had a ball. I'd say the people-watching was the best bit!

The ITV fashion crew picked out all the green dresses today! It was the colour of the day. It’s a bit late now, but I would have said the green. It’s just younger looking. However, glad you had a great day. I always try and memorise who looks great each year but I still panic about what to buy the next year. For what it’s worth, the Daily Telegraph Ascot fashion photos are great. Some are inspirational. They tend to avoid the stupid!

Just the graduation to go now. Good luck.
