You knew it was coming is! The first Frocktober post of 2023.
As regular readers know, every October I go wild with the wearing of dresses in order to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation as part of their Frocktober campaign. Each year my wife, daughter and I set up a fundraising team called IT HAS POCKETS and demand money with sartorial menaces from people of social media.
And observe! There's a link in that previous bit.
The hardcore Frocktober participants will wear a different outfit on each of the 31 days of October. Some even do themed challenges. If you're on Instagram or Twitter you can follow the hashtags #Frocktober2023 or simply #Frocktober and see what they're up to, although the latter site is mostly full of hideous people these days so beware. My goals are more modest. Wearing a frock every day for 31 days isn't really viable for me (I simply don't have the energy, even if I do have the frocks), so once again I have set myself the challenge of at least ten frocks during the course of the month. In my previous four years of direct fund-raising I have managed over $3000 and worn over 50 different frocks. This year I will be attempting to wear frocks that I haven't worn in the previous five years. As I said before, I have a lot of them.
So on with the frocks. Frock One had sleeves, which is not something I do a lot of. I wore it for lunch with family up in Sydney ...
