Froctober 2012

Hey peeps.  It is that time of year again.  Everyday of October 2012, not only will I wear a frock, but so will my little side kick, Ginger.

As a personal challenge to myself I have worn frocks for a month at a time.  This year I will be fundraising for research into Ovarian cancer.  I have an Everyday Hero account for those interested in throwing some money at a great cause.  http://www.everydayhero.com.au/khristie_B.

We are 8 days in.  The first 6 were while we were on holidays at the Sunshine Coast, so we were limited by what we packed.  But we dress to impress and here are the photos to prove it.

Day 1. A refashion kimono

Day 1. A traded dress from the markets

Day 2.  A 50c fave, falling apart

There it is so far.  Ginger is mostly embracing it and mostly likes to have her photo taken.  I am making at least one frock for myself for Frocktober, maybe more.  Maybe one for Ginger too.  Stay tuned.
