Frocktober day 31
What I planned vs what I wore vs what I actually wore on this freezing day of rain, hail, shine and wind. Yes my smile got frozen off.

And here endeth my month of oversharing. I’m back to being a social media lurker, and scorner/admirer of selfie-takers. Thanks to all who played along, and thanks to those who donated.

Frocktober day 30
Look I don’t think I’m violetting any rules by wearing a frock that’s the same style as one I wore earlier - it is a different print!

Frocktober day 29
I had to crane right up to the back of the wardrobe to find this one.

Frocktober day 28
I like the dress & shoes here, but I think it’s the tights that really shine #alrightytighties

Also, less than 24 hours after I increased my fundraising goal, somebody in their generosity blew that goal out of the water. So I’ve increased it again. Because if you don’t fail to reach your goal, you didn’t make the goal high enough #motivationalpostermaterial

Frocktober day 27
Probably the most hurried selfie to date. Quick set up camera, quick set timer, quick show teeth (that’s how smiles work isn’t it?) I managed to achieve something between a grin and grimace. A grinace.

#Frocktober day 26
(I just realised I forgot to post this yesterday).
This is me checking my page and realising I’ve met my original fundraising target and instead of just being happy with that, I’m raising my target, with only 5 days of month left. Because why be satisfied with something great when you can risk failing at something greater? 🏔

Frocktober day 25
Flapping like it’s Friday!

Frocktober day 24
I’m getting shirty ‘cos I’m running out of dresses 😉

Frocktober day 23
I bet you didn’t think I’d turnip in another veggie dress. You might think it’s corny, but I think you can’t beet them. Do you think I’d tread gingerly around you to keep the peas? I don’t carrot all what you think!

Frocktober day 22
Just brushing up on my Australian native flora

frocktober day 21
I’m totally wrapped in today’s number.

Frocktober day 20
It was a bit windy, so I’m doing my bit and holding up the wall. As you can see, I have no eye, dear.

Frocktober day 19.
I call this one “woman with exhausted face and salty beach hair laughs alone in poorly lit room”

Frocktober day 18.
Here I’m demonstrating happiness level achieved by a woman when she puts on a dress and discovers it has pockets #ithaspockets

frocktober day 17
I’m feeling a bit cocky today 🦜

Frocktober day 16
I don’t think you understand how difficult it is for me to simultaneously
Smile ✔️
Keep my eyes open ✔️
Not look creepy ✔️
Am I winning?
For a change, I’m not wearing wrinkled linen, instead opting for wrinkled cotton.

Frocktober day 15. This dress design is called rock the broc, so today I’m rocking the broc frock. #broctober

frocktober day 14
Making like a sunflower and facing the sunbeams.

Frocktober day 13
Being a wallflower.

Frocktober day 12
Yep look it’s basically me in my house-dress, looking exactly as excited as I am to be doing laundry #notmuchofafrock

frocktober day 11. My niece said “nice nightie” this morning when I came out wearing this, and refused to accept that it was daywear. Undaunted, I wore it to work anyway. It was very comfy. As you’d expect. 🛌

Frocktober day 10. Just some old clothes I fished out of the wardrobe.

Frocktober day 9. Did I mention how linen wrinkles?

Frocktober day 8
Going for subtle, muted and understated today 😁 And wrinkled.

Frocktober day 7. I’ve quit trying to look normal!

Frocktober day 6. My face trying its hardest to blend into the wall.

Frocktober day 5. A choice had to be made between including my face or my shoes. I stand by my decision.

Frocktober day 4. Still trying really hard to look normal in photos.

Frocktober day 3, today also adorned with smile, as suggested. Possibly fake, because who smiles at themselves in an empty room? I’m worried my face might crack if I keep this up.

Frocktober day 2. A wrinkled & tired (dress & face, respectively) photo, because who has time for photos in the morning, and also linen wrinkles if you sneeze.
