Frocktober Dress Diary - Day 31 (Hooray!)

Where I got it: Finders Keepers Market, Docklands - This year

How much I paid for it: About $80
Frocky features: This dress is made from organic cotton and is all kind of cute (in my opinion). The dress also came in brown (the one I really wanted) but some chick with a nasty look (not really) got in first...
Something else about it: It's a size too big (I was that desperate for it) so I sewed a button onto the back to hold it together.

Frocktober is (and was!!) awesome, and raises funds and awareness for ovarian cancer research! Help me reach my goal of $1000 at www.everydayhero.com.au/kathryn_kelly.

Frocktober Dress Diary - Day 30

Where I got it: Salvation Army, Torquay - a few years ago.
How much I paid for it: About $5
Frocky features: It's brown and has a yellow pattern of stars. Wraps around and artound until it can't wrap no more. At least I think that's what you're supposed to do...
Something else about it: This was one of my very first op-shopping successes. If I'd stopped there then I wouldn't have such issues with fitting it into my wardrobe now.

Frocktober Dress Diary - Day 29

Where I got it: Salvation Army, Torquay - a couple of years ago.
How much I paid for it: About $8

Frocky features: It's got a blue and green print, and originally it was way too big but I took it in. High fives all round (between me and me).
Something else about it: I've worn this dress to a couple of weddings now and they have both ended in marriage. Must be a lucky-charm dress.

Frocktober Dress Diary – Day 28

Where I got it: An op-shop in Darwin

How much I paid for it: About $5

Frocky features: It is a pretty light pink, and has giant pockets, which could fit my whole life’s needs into them (including band-aids for my feet which are looking very sickly poorly today after having walked me around Melbourne for the last couple of days.. I should really dish out for a tram ticket).

Something else about it: I was determined to buy something from a Darwin Op-sop, and luckily found this in the last one (of not vary many) that we went to. I wore it to the Aireys Inlet Open Mic Festival last year and felt great.

Frocktober Dress Diary – Day 27

Where I got it: Rhubarb, Torquay

How much I paid for it: $30

Frocky features: It’s long and fitted and olive green. What kind of underwear are you supposed to wear with these dresses?

Something else about it: My anonymous friend Kerrie talked me into buying this dress after work one day. I can’t remember what her selling points were, but I do remember she said them in a very convincing tone. I wore it to visit my Anonymous sister in Perth earlier this year. We caught the train to Fremantle and ordered the best lunch ever (and gave each other high fives afterwards).

Frocktober Dress Diary – Day 26

Where I got it: At a Frocktober dress-sale, last week!

How much I paid for it: $10 (which was how much I took with me, minus $3 for a lemonade)

Frocky features: Where to start… it is made of navy corduroy, with hot pink spots that seem to be puff paint or glue or something. Also it has navy lace on the sleeves and hem. And hot pink buttons down the front that serve as both comedy and function. I think the picture might not show all these points, so if possible I think you should make the effort to see me in person.

Something else about it: I think this may be my most amusing frock so far this Frocktober. Thank you to those who talked me into owning it.

Frocktober Dress Diary – Day 25

Where I got it: Dangerfield in Melbourne, about 4 years ago.

How much I paid for it: About $50

Frocky features: It has ties at the shoulders. It’s about as girly as you can get.

Something else about it: This was the first dress I ever had as an adult. I wore it to Uni feeling very self-conscious and pretty, because dresses weren’t really in fashion. Even though it’s now slightly tighter, I don’t think I could throw it out.
