The end of Frocktober for 2013

 

...and so the end has come! Honestly I'm a bit relieved cause I have a skirt that I want to wear and have run out of dresses! Thankyou for reading and supporting me. I didn't quite reach my goal yet but any donation is better than none!

 

 

MY GOAL:  $200
DONATIONS GIVEN:  $105
STILL NEEDED:  $95

Donations can still be made at https://frocktober.everydayhero.com/au/charlene or here up until March 2014!

Join me again next year in October for Frocktober!

Frocktober 2013 - Week 4

Well this must be the second last week... I have managed to not double up on my dresses yet besides from my LBD that I've worn a few times but all in different ways. Yes I know it means I have LOTS of dresses but I borrowed one, op shopped a few new (old) ones and have worn a few that I will probably donate back to the op shop after this month is done. Here's the low down of the dresses I've worn this last week or you can follow me on Instagram @charlenegirl to see them each day.

Now I still need quite a bit to reach my goal of $200 fundraised for The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation so if you would like to donate feel free to do it here, However I guess any money raised is better than none!

Frocktober2013 - The 3rd week

 

Gees has this month gone quickly, It's the third week already! Hopefully by now you have made some sort of contribution to the Frocktober cause (monetary or other). If not please do because it is a very worthy cause and you will undoubtedly know someone in your lifetime that will suffer from Ovarian cancer; this cause could save their life! If you haven't yet made a donation feel free to donate here or come and visit me at work to donate in person.

I have still pretty much managed not to double up on any dresses so far, that means I obviously have a lot more dresses than I thought I had!

 

 

Not too much longer to go! I wonder if I will manage a way to wear a different dress everyday? I guess I'll have to go shopping or borrow some dresses....well I guess it wont be long and we will soon find out!

Frocktober2013 - The 2nd week

So it's already the second week of Frocktober! How time flies when your having fun! I'm not going to give you the whole spiel about what Frocktober is cause you should know by now and know what a great cause it is to donate to. If you want to know more or donate any amount just follow the links at the end of this blog. 

I've managed so far not to double up on any of my dresses so I have a lot more than I thought I did! Saying that, there is quite a range; I have dresses with a top over them, maxi dresses, skater dresses and tunics which I interpret as dresses that are too short and/or tops that are too long. Enough typing, lets check out the Frocks!

Excuse this middle pic in the last photo, I just wanted to prove I was wearing a dress! Check me out again this time next week and I'll show you the next 7 outfits I've worn throughout the week.

Aussie Curves - Stripes

I would've totally used my ideal black & white striped dress for this but I was a bit slow in looking at the future challenges and stupidly used it as one of my outfits in my $50 Outfit post so I've gone for a different type of stripe; A less obvious tie-dyed stripe. It still counts right?

I'm currently doing another challenge in support of Frocktober. This charity raises funds for The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and I am helping by wearing a frock (dress) for every day in October, or Frocktober should we say. More about that here.

It's the weekend and I've needed to chill out a bit so this op shopped Autograph dress was just perfect. Not too short and not too long, this dress is very comfortable and great when the weather is starting to get a little warmer than usual.
The stripes are not as obvious as most others will be but I'm fine with being different. I don't think it really flatters my shape but I don't think it looks terrible and clearly I wasn't too bothered, it felt too good.

 

Autograph dress - op shopped - I think it was about $8
Metallic Dark blue Havianas - Skin, Ski & Surf - Around the $20 mark

Have fun ladies! I'll see you all again next week!

Frocktober 2013 - The Beginning

October is the month of Frocktober.
In Australia, every 10 hours, one woman dies from Ovarian cancer. Just ten minutes ago I read this post on Killer Kurves about a plus sized model who just announced she had Ovarian cancer.
Frocktober is all about raising money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. There are many different ways you can participate, I however have decided to go the full 31 days wearing a frock every day! I have an account with Everyday Heroes here for people to donate too plus this cute little donation lady (pictured below) at work that I created just for Frocktober. Just in case you can't tell the money goes in the necklace slot!

The first 6 days have been fun but I have no doubt that as the days go on I will struggle to choose what dress to wear and how to style it because I'm pretty sure I don't have 31 different dresses.
