I Wear Trainers To The Big Racing Days

I love going to the races - I love a little flutter on the day, and I love the champagne and wonderful food, and most of all the atmosphere, especially Ascot!
But one thing I can't do - I can't wear heels at the races, even if I do dress up. I wear trainers. It just makes sense - I'm often walking on the grass there (one of my friends is a racehorse owner), so I eschew all those gladiator high heel shoes and whatnot. For me, trainers are just practical. Yes I can see the eyes looking down at my feet, and not at my wonderful hat and fascinator - but usually those who look, also smile - there's a knowledge behind that smile that agrees with my practicality.
I did notice on my last visit to the races two other women wearing trainers too - so perhaps I'm setting a trend here?
