Oh, Sophie. No, no, no. Whoever convinced you that this would be a great look for Ascot has a lot to answer for.
You know, looking at this again, I think the addition of that particular hat is what caused the train to jump the tracks. Somehow, that makes it read to me a little too much like old-fashioned bell hop, rather than fashion-forward member of the BRF.
Train to jump the tracks. That's a great line.
Maybe a wide brimmed hat in the same color would've been better? It would balance things out a little.
I like the color, and I like wide legged pants. And I certainly like the material and the pleating in the pants.
I'm just not certain what went wrong here, but not a good look on Sophie.
