It's Frocktober...


{polka dots in the sunshine for the 1st, a yellow dress for the 2nd and black tights with a vintage skirt for the 3rd}

So here we are - a photo of me, in a dress, on my blog... haha. Those of you who know me well know that I am incredibly reluctant to wear dresses and skirts - I have no idea why and well, I just love my Gap jeans... (as seen here in what I normally wear...).

But this month is different.
This month is Frocktober in Australia.
And my dear friend Anna from Much Love is raising funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation by wearing a dress every day throughout October.

Isn't that such a great idea? And it's the kick up the bottom that I need to start breaking out of my usual, boring 'personal uniforms'. So to raise awareness for Anna and to encourage you all to pop over and support her cause, I'm going to try and wear a skirt or dress everyday through out this month too.

I realise that this probably doesn't sound like a big deal to most people but this is a huge step for me. It's a massive leap out of my comfort zone and honestly, sat here at work(!) in my skirt I'm terrified lol but I'm going to try and make it through, even if I am wearing the same few skirts and dresses for a month.

So, to support Anna and to encourage me, pop over to Anna's blog, read about her cause and perhaps even donate a few pennies...

p.s. G and C - this shakes things up for the weekend doesn't it ;)

p.p.s. Cue awkward hands and feet photos for a month, hahaha. sorry about that.

  2. Pretty! I'm with Micaela, I wear dresses much more than jeans. It just feels easier to slip on one piece than two/three. I don't know that I have enough dresses to keep things switched up for a whole month though. So kudos!

  4. You look stunning, and what beautiful dresses you chose. Good luck with your dress-wearing challenge.

    I have to admit, I wear dresses most of the time. I find them more flattering than jeans - plus I can never find a pair of jeans to fit!

  5. oh Rhianne, I want to give you a huge HUG right now!!!!
    Thank you so much! The fact that you're doing this when you don't normally wear dresses and skirts, well that just makes it even more wonderful!

  6. I don't see why you don't wear dresses and skirts more. You look gorgeous!

  7. Rhianne if you keep wearing frocs this way, you will be really really distracting me from my stressful days! You looked gorgeous! I think it's so kind of you to support Anna's cause, which I also would love to, but the way you get out from your comfy zone and start wearing dresses is just doubled my appreciation!
    Have a very very lovely day <3
