All a flutter fascinator

It's still Winter in Melbourne, but Spring is on the horizon and that means it's almost the Spring Racing Carnival.

At this time Melbournians swap their chic black uniform of Winter for the colourful, and at times outrageous, glamour of the racing season. A hat is a must for the big races, and the Fashions on the Field competitions are always great to watch for inspiration.

This fascinator is really simple, but elegant. A lot of the fascinators worn at the races are a bit of fluff on a clip. I think it's nice to have something a bit more substantial, in honour of the traditional of the carnival.
