WHAT TO WEAR TO NASCAR

Heading to a NASCAR race this summer? Need some NASCAR outfit inspiration? You’ve come to the right place.

NASCAR RICHMOND THE CRYSTAL PRESS

you can officially call us NASCAR girlies. Thanks to the new Richmond Raceway president, Lori Waran, we jumped on the NASCAR bandwagon this year! Lori has made sure there is a place for NASCAR women in Richmond and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

We were so excited to attend our first NASCAR race in her president’s box this spring. It was a night race which was SO cool to see. We saw the sunset over the track right before it started, and because it was a little rainy that day we also caught a rainbow just before the cars started their engines off as well.

We don’t get to “get out” as much as we used to, so when we do, we get excited to plan our outfits! I had to go shopping in my own closet (Bali spending freeze), and knew it was a graphic tee and denim kind of occasion. I’ve linked our exact outfit details along with some other pieces that the track inspired!

As you can imagine, we weren’t the only ones excited to be invited to the race. John & Kevin were thrilled that we chose to bring them along for the ride with us for once 🙂 We all had such a great time. We got to go into the Drivers Meeting before the race, hear the pre-race prayer and see all the drivers! It was such a unique experience.

I recently went to Madewell to find some new jean shorts and was shocked at the quality for the price point! They have so many great options and I was thrilled to walk away with two new pairs. (RELAXED MID RISE && PULL ON PAPER BAG). Highly recommend if you need to add a couple pairs to your closet this summer.

Catherine has been rocking this long denim skirt this spring and I just loooove the way it looks on her. She has styled it so many fun ways.

Wardrobe Staple: The White Blazer

Catherine has been the blazer queen as long as I can remember! I took a trip down our archives and found some of my favorite blazer looks from her that I liked at the end of this post. It was so fun to see the fun looks over the years and see how some of her style has changed and some has remained true!

A blazer is a perfect piece for layering in the Spring and Fall. It can be the icing on the cake of a fabulous outfit and take a simple outfit from *blah* to *ta-da* !! I added a white blazer to my closet when my friend Nena did a collaboration with Petal & Pup and I have to say it has become one of my most worn pieces.

Everyone talks about having the perfect black blazer, but I honestly think a white blazer is just as much a wardrobe staple! The white adds extra dimension and we think you can wear the white blazer year round. I have rounded up some of my favorite white blazer outfits on us and you’ll find a bunch of white blazers linked below!

here are a few ways we like to style white blazers>>

The perfect “third piece” to a spring or fall outfit! With jeans and a tee. With heels or boots. We love this combo.

Have a black tie event or gala to go to in the winter time? Ditch your coat and wear a chic white blazer over it instead.

Another recent Cathclaire favorite is the long denim skirt! I love how shes rocking this look.

I’m more of a mini dress gal myself, and love the contrast of the oversized white blazer with the black dress.

(yes, we both showed up to a recent event wearing white blazers, hehe)
