This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UVA chapter.

Around the middle of April, everyone starts to become bogged down with schoolwork. However, one event keeps UVA students motivated to survive the upcoming weeks – Foxfield! Everyone knows that Foxfield is a fun-filled steeplechase race that brings Virginia college students, particularly UVA students, together for a day of socializing, tailgating, eating, and very little actual horse race watching. Foxfield is also used as an excuse to unleash your hidden preppy side! If you are like me, then you have probably been putting off buying your outfit. Thank goodness Charlottesville has so many shops with great options!

Jack Wills, located on the Corner, has several great Foxfield dress options:
Doxford Dress , $198
 

 
Knighton Dress, $98.50
