Hold onto your hats at the Cup!

It might be warm today but colder weather is headed towards Melbourne with temperatures dropping and winds picking up just in time for the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. The cool change is expected in Melbourne around midnight tonight will a few showers until around sunrise tomorrow. Most of the day should stay dry with just some isolated showers and a cooler maximum of 20 degrees. But the main weather feature will be the westerly winds which are expected to gust up to around 50 kmh. While this won't affect the field, it may send the fashions flying! So while the cooler weather will be a pleasant change for the boys in suits after Derby Day's sweat- fest, here a few tips for ladies on weather-proofing your fashions...

Locks:
Pin those facinators nice and tight and bring a few spare bobby pins to stop them from flying
A bit of extra hairspray won't go astray
And hold onto your hats!

Frocks:
Pencil skirts are not only flattering but you won't need to worry about your skirts flying up in the wind!
Bring a pashmina- 20 degrees will feel even colder with the windchill
If your outfit allows for tights or pantyhose- they will cover any goosebumps

Now that your locks and frocks are sorted, I hope you enjoy Australia's biggest race and back a winner!
