‘Tis The Season - What Not To Wear

Fall is fast upon us and the stink bugs are in full bloom.  College football is underway and the real NFL season with real officials gets underway tonight. That can mean one thing, and one thing only…The International Gold Cup is coming.

The race meet will be held as it always is on the third Saturday in October at the Great Meadow race course near The Plains.  We don’t have to tell you it, will be here before you know it.

As we often do, we’d like to ramp up the Fall Gold Cup blogging season with a VA Blog Cup standby “What Not To Wear.”

Really, don’t wear this. It tends to be cool in October and typically windy.  That is going to cause at least two problems for this lovely outfit designed by fashion designer Fatima Lopes (who evidently has never been outside after August 31st).
THE MODEL LOOKS UNHAPPY...WHO CAN BLAME HER?
