Shoes For The Day
One of the things that makes racewear so special is the attention to detail in everyone's outfit. Every single detail is considered from head to toe. Earlier this year we couldn't help but notice in the SA state finals the 2nd Runner Up, Jen Marsh. What caught our eye was the fabulous print of her dress that had crept down to the toes of her shoes.
One of our readers Ruth Connor has let us know her secret as the woman behind the shoes. As well as selling her millinery, Ruth also offers a shoe covering service called Shoes For The Day under the banner of Just For You by Ruth Connor Millinery.
