Blue, especially since it's for Ascot. I can see I might be a bit anxious if it was for a wedding or something but Ascot is the perfect place to wear something fabulous.
I love it! Wish I had an excuse to wear it - have a great time! Smile

Thanks. Yes certainly a day to go big

Oh I feel like a princess in the dress which is 80% of the battle for me

Pink hat is better.

TizerorFizz · 02/06/2023 23:08

@Possster I actually prefer the blue hat. The style is totally Ascot. I go RE every year so I do have a good look around! However (I’m going to apologise in advance) ditch the shoulder bag. Take a top handle handbag. Not huge but big enough for make up, phone and racecard. Pale blue handbag and you are sorted! Have a great day. Also choose closed toe shoes in case it rains and ones you can wear all day. Believe me, it’s hard work looking fab all day.

I was going to say pink but now I know it's for Ascot, definitely the blue one!

Me too.

Pink with that dress.

Beeswood · 02/06/2023 23:51

I would choose the blue one for Ascot, I think it suits you and the occasion.

The pink one would be great for a wedding.

Possster · 03/06/2023 12:17

Thank you!
This is the one dh wanted me to get!

Obviously that's too big!

Top handled bag.... hmm what xolour for that?

I was thinking of these shoes.... although more modern would be better...

You look great. I LOVE the hat your DH wants you to get...

Sadly it was way too big, as I have an absolute pinhead!

@Possster Shoes look great - too high for me but I’m older then you! Bag? Maybe a neutral beige? Hat and shoes are similar so something a little different for the bag.

TizerorFizz · 03/06/2023 13:20

Something like these without the king strap? Obviously quite expensive but cheaper version available!

King??? Long strap!

Possster · 03/06/2023 13:44

I love that Longchamp! Also seen a nice one from Aspinal. Oh dear. Perhaps I will sell my pink one, still has the labels

Blue

TizerorFizz · 03/06/2023 18:55

@Possster I would just make sure you are comfortable and have a traditional handbag. I find clutch bags too difficult all day. The top handle type that can slip over your wrist easily are best. A neutral colour is useful most years. Let the dress and hat do the talking. I do like the hat your DH suggested but I prefer the baby blue and similar shoes.

SammyScrounge · 13/08/2023 00:32

I like the pink one best

Morewineplease10 · 13/08/2023 01:05

Blue. Definitely.
And love the dress!

He's right. I don't like either of them and I don't think either of them go with the dress. That's the nicest by a mile.

Do you mean it wouldn't have stayed on? Or just that the look is "too big"?

It's stunning compared to the other two- it lifts the pretty dress to another level.
