Staying Warm and Looking Hot at the Races

Brrrr! With the mercury dropping in advance of the colder months, it can be hard to dress for the races while still feeling great about your style. I’ve put together some different looks to get you to the track while looking your best and still feeling cozy on chilly days. Below are three ensembles on three different budgets to help inspire your next outfit for a winter day of racing!
Win:

WarmHot_High by penelopemiller featuring a soia kyo coat
I love this KAGE golden skirt ($383) – winter is the time to rock metallics, and this skirt’s subtle sheen is perfect for daytime. The $280 Zanieri jumper picks up the subtle colors in the skirt’s details, as do the $299 Karen Miller booties in merlot. Keep your legs warm with some dark brown sheer Hanes tights for $9.50 and top off the look with this beautiful Soia Kyo Ren winter white coat for $470. A pair of vintage $419 Gucci earrings with a horse shoe motif are perfect for the races, and the taupe $428 Dooney and Burke satchel will hold your racing form and the boatloads of cash you’ll be winning playing the ponies. All together, our Win look comes to $2,288.50 – get analyzing the races and you can earn it all back with one well-made bet!

WarmHot_Med by penelopemiller featuring how to wear boots
I love the coziness of this Monsoon dress for $105; it’s perfect for a day of racing, but it’s also fantastic for anything from work to a date to running errands. I added a pair of Jessica Simpson wedge boots for $130 – the wedge is essential because you’ll get a little more traction and support if conditions get icy. I love this lock bag ($56) from US Trendy, and the Fever London coat adds some drama (and even more warmth) for just $170. Add an infinity scarf (Aerie, $30) and some gloves (these are from Nordstrom for $42 and are the super cool kind that can interact with touch screens). Finish off the look with a killer pair of sunglasses from Quay Austin for $40 and a pair of cable-braided silver hoops for $45 from Giani Bernini and you’re off to the races for $618.

WarmHot_Low by penelopemiller featuring a long sleeve turtleneck
How adorable is this Fair Isle patterned sweater skirt from Maurice’s for just $34? I added some dark brown Sperry ribbed tights for $9.99 and some ANNA knee-high boots for $30; plus a very expensive-looking Black Five bag that’s only $29. The $13 LE3NO turtleneck provides a pop of color, and the shearling YOINS coat is both stylish and bold for just $40. Finish off the look with a $14 pair of earrings from Last Call and you’re looking good at the track for just $169.99 – nice!
