I am going to a big Race Day in the first week of May - so it will probably be quite cold where I live. In the midst of this heatwave I convinced myself that it would be ok to wear a strapless short ****tail dress and heels but I've realised that on a 14 degree day I could be quite chilly .

So... what should I wear?

Can you wear a large coat over the dress, and/or can you wear a pair of tights? Or is it more socially acceptable to freeze your tits off?

Should i just bear the cold and drink enough alcohol to warm me up?
