The Sun Met- Style ahead of the Field
 |
This annual event is a day filled with loads of fashion, horse betting , music and an overall awesome experience. This year was my second time attending the event, the first time was on 31 January 2009, just a day after my birthday and I was gifted tickets to attend this fun event.
This year's theme for Africa's Richest Race Day was "Style ahead of the field" attendees were encouraged to come dressed in colours and prints inspired by Africa (Afro Chic).
I certainly did not miss the memo (chuckles) I totally loved my "last minute" outfit made by "Marguerite Designs" this designer is located at "The Water Shed" an arts and crafts market at the V & A Water front.
As seen above I wore a bold and vibrant African print attire, this was an off the shelf outfit however I gave her a day to make a few alterations, one of them being a front slit which brings sexiness to a skirt that is conservative.
My accessories (Handbag and earrings) which I kept minimal were sponsored by Colette By Colette Hayman @colettebycolettehayman on instagram.
It was an honour to be given the role "online Journalist" for the day. My duty started just after 11:00 as the aim was to leave at 16:00 for an appoitment I couldn't miss. leaving early meant that I missed out on a lot of fun, most people were arriving when I left, I didn't get a chance to network with a lot of local celebrities but I made the most of my time there and I enjoyed myself. There were lots of familiar faces , it was nice catching up with people and meeting some for the first time in person after following them for a while on instagram.
I spoke to a few attendees whose outfits were eye catching. They were kind enough to answer a few questions I had about their outfits and were more than happy for me to take pictures of them and with them :-)
