14BreedersCup_Aline_High by penelopemiller featuring a red bag
This Halston Heritage dress is $445 and is a beautiful example of the structure of an A-line dress. I added a pair of $485 Kurt Gieger bow-front sandals and a saturated crimson handbag for $346 from MICHAEL by Michael Kors. The MacLaren Millinery fascinator ($383) elevates this look to race-readiness, and to accessorize I chose a statement necklace ($250, Kenneth Jay Lane) and a fabulous cuff ($295, Alexis Bittar.) Philip Lim sunglasses ($250) and a vibrant Marc Jacobs nail polish ($18) complete the look, which comes to $2,472.

14BreedersCup_Aline_Mid by penelopemiller featuring high heel booties
I may order this $100 graphic dress from TopShop; it can take you from the races to work to cocktails all through the fall and winter. For the Breeders’ Cup, add this $68 fascinator from Etsy and a pair of dark forest green booties from Stuart Weitzman for $233. The Brahmin bag is $235, and the gold Nixon watch is $95. I am in love with the charming owl earrings that complete the look; they’re $50 from Amrita Singh. This complete ensemble is all yours for $781.
