Off to Ascot on Friday - what to do about the weather?

[kingleds]

I'm going to Ascot on Friday. My dress & shoes & fascinator are all sorted. Now the weather looks like its going to chuck it down all day

What do I do? I haven't got any wellies, plus they will hardly be in keeping with the outfit, I don't have a coat that even remotely goes with the outfit. But i don't want to drown either! I have a black umbrella (my dress is red & accesories are black so that should go)

Any ideas that don't cost the earth?

You can get poncho's from the pound shop .....no sensible ideas sorry!

I was gonna say the same thing. Clear plastic, it will match well.

I just saw an 'emergency poncho' in boots - that's see through.might get that

Yes I think a poncho is a good idea, could you possibly take a pair of flat/spare shoes just in case your shoes get all muddy.

Enjoy & hope it doesn't rain. X

Yeah, in the royal enclosure, but not in the grandstand, which is where we are going to be.. My fascinator is big enough its classed as a headpiece of more than 4 inch diameter anyway, so I'd be okay in the royal enclosure.

Thats ok then glad you knew all about it

You need to know you will not be cold either Kingsled. Nothing worse than cold and wet. Do you have a pashmina as well ?? If you do at least you can cosy up in that.

Asda have this little black coat for £15
