Reader Question - Headed to the Track

This isn't my usual reader question; this one comes from a good buddy/co-worker (she does happen to be a reader though) who was asking what to wear this Friday to Carb Day. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Indy 500 or racing, Carb Day (short for Carburetion Day) is a day to go out to the Track, hang out, drink, and maybe see a car or two (okay, info on the real purpose of the day is here). It is a big day for companies to have sponsored suites that they invite clients out to also, and this Friday a couple of co-workers and myself are headed out the track for the day.

The weather is supposed to be 80 and sunny (and thankfully less humid), but it always feels warmer out at the track with all of the people around. Plus, to throw an extra quirk into things since we have Garage Passes we need to wear cropped or full length pants and closed-toe shoes (or else no access to the Garages for us).

So, here are a couple of ideas for Jess who is planning to run to Old Navy this evening and grab a couple of things. Every outfit is fairly simple (which goes along with her style), but does have some good color and a bit of pattern.

Left Outfit - May be basic white and denim but the fun, lightweight scarf and yellow flats keep the look from being boring.

Middle Outfit - The crochet trim on the bottom of the tee adds some interest while keeping things cool and the floral flats are the perfect thing to pull the top and bottoms together.

Right Outfit - This basic polo is jazzed up a bit by using the scarf as a belt and the neutral flats can be used in a multitude of outfits in the future.

Whatever you wear, Jess, it's going to be a fun day! Can't wait to hang with you and see what we get ourselves into!
