Saddle Up!
FROM GIRLY GIRL AT THE TRACK TO COWGIRL AT THE AFTER-PARTY, SARATOGA SADDLERY HAS YOUR EQUESTRIAN LOOK COVERED. photography by DORI FITZPATRICK
when july rolls around, we ladies of
Saratoga are presented with a choice: Who do we want to be this track season? While an equestrian vibe is a must, we can go the girly girl route (bright pinks, high heels and all) or we can go all in on all things denim, fringe and yee-haw—a.k.a. full cowgirl. Honestly, both sound pretty good to me, and at Broadway boutique Saratoga Saddlery, both styles are on the table (or should I say rack?). For a day at the races, you can’t go wrong flaunting this feminine Gretchen Scott maxi dress paired with a wide-brimmed, felt hat from American Hat Makers’ Wanderlust
Collection. It even has pockets to stash all the cash you’re sure to rake in while wearing such a winning outfit! Post-races, do a quick wardrobe (and persona!) change into this uber-fringy Scully jean jacket, graphic tee and cowboy hat, and head directly to Nashville of Saratoga, the only place this far north of Tennessee worthy of such a rootin’ tootin’ cowgirl ensemble.
