Five ways to refresh your view of Cheltenham without spending a lot of money
ALL bets are on! The Cheltenham Festival kicks off on Tuesday with more than 250,000 people set to take to the famous racecourse.
Dress your best with these last-minute winning tricks. . .
TALL HAT: Skip expensive store-bought fascinators and make your own at home.
If you have time to go to Hobbycraft, buy a jumble of natural craft feathers for £2 and glue them with Hobbycraft glue to a headband or hair clip you have at home, £2.
Or take a silk scarf you already have, wrap it around a headband and secure it at both ends with a pin for a stylish, modern headpiece that looks expensive.
BAGS AWAY: Are you trying to match your handbag to your dress? Try swapping other handbag straps on your bag to see if that works.

Or you can wrap a colorful silk or fabric scarf around the handle in the color of your outfit to complete your look.
STEP TO IT: Instead of buying new heels, give an old pair a new look.
If you have a few days, you can order four diamond bow shoe clips from Amazon.co.uk, for £7.99.
No time? Raid the craft drawer or cut off the ribbon handles from gift bags and tie them into a bow.
Stick them to the front of your shoe with craft glue, or if you don’t want a permanent change, a hair grip in a color that matches your shoe can also work.
SUPERMARKET STAPLES: Still looking for the perfect dress or suit?
Go to your local supermarket.
Asda has a beautiful green leopard print dress for £20 that looks like it could be Boden.
Meanwhile, Asda’s navy blue seersucker suit for men costs £35 for the jacket and £25 for the trousers – bargain!
SKIP THE SALON: Quickly complete your outfit with a matching manicure. Boots own brand press on pre-glued nails for just £3 per set.
Plus you get a ten percent discount when you use your Boots Advantage card.
