It’s that time of year: time to
don a fabulous hat and head over to the Devon
Horse Show! (There aren’t nearly
enough times in my life for me to wear a fabulous hat. I look forward to this all year!) Champion jumpers, carriage races, lemon
sticks... and fashion! It is just as
much about the fashion as the horses at Devon.
At Ladies Hat Day on Wednesday, Deputy Shoe Fairy Rosie and I spotted
these specimens of fabulous footwear:
Neutrals were in in a big way
this year, but this pair was one of our favorite versions. Look at those elaborate cut outs! Plus the wedge makes them a little more stable
for the uneven fairgrounds.
I adored these. Yellow, white, little tassels at the peep
toe... and how about the dark toenails?
Nice contrast with the lemon meringue
feeling of the shoe.
A strappy silver T-strap wedge
might not normally be something to write home about, but the wedge is a
snakeskin print! Love.
How about the blue with yellow
trim? Brightening up a cloudy day! Where the ankle strap attaches is so unusual—these
were really lovely.
Orange was also a popular choice
at the Horse Show this year (perhaps because it is the color of
2012?). This pair was perhaps the
most elegant interpretation, with coral, white, and nude patent leather.
I love me a black lace flat, but
this lace is a little unusual—almost an abstract floral. A sensible flat—good to see on the gravel and
uneven walkways of the fairground!
The Devon Horse
Show runs through Sunday, and admission starts at $10 for a grounds pass. Live in the city and don’t have a car? Not a problem! Take the Paoli/Thorndale train to the Devon
stop—the grounds are walking distance from the station. Look for the big Ferris wheel; that’ll point
you in the right direction.
