On Day 30 of Frocktober it was the last day of a week of study and I had a real life exam! I therefore chose a pretty simple frock, this black zip-front tunic from City Chic. The great thing about a black dress like this is that you can wear absolutely anything with it. In…

i don’t know what this is
On Day 29 I finally had the opportunity to pop the tags on my Hell Bunny Eartha frock. I bought it from Kitty Deluxe back before the second lockdown, and I sadly had no occasion to wear it since then. It’s one that I would normally save for evening occasions, but in Frocktober there’s no…
i can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
Day 28 of Frocktober was a day of celebration in Melbourne. For the first time in months we no longer had four defined reasons to leave our homes. We could leave for any old reason, like shopping for frivolous things or getting on the beers. I went for my usual morning walk, but this time…
numbers too big to ignore
On Day 27 I popped on this Hell Bunny Lilou frock which is covered in birds, and took it around to Maddern Square which is ruled by birds – pigeons mostly, with the occasional seagull friend. Here I am giving the fingers to some of the pigeons. My Aunty commented that this look was very…
now you’re singing with the choir
Day 26 of Frocktober was a happy day! For the first time in 139 days there were no new coronavirus cases in Victoria, and no deaths either. What a relief to hit this milestone! I was so happy I jumped for joy in my Hell Bunny Aberdeen mini. On Mini-Me’s bed while she was at…
you’ll never be mine
Today was the 25th and there was a sense of anticipation about what Uncle Dan might give us this morning, so I decided it should be Christmas in Frocktober. Fortunately Mini-Me has had the tree up since September in her room so it wasn’t hard to figure out my setting for my picture. My frock…
from little things big things grow
Day 24 was AFL Grand Final Day. Which was weird – because it was late October, and the match was in Queensland, and we were all locked up at home watching it without our friends. Naturally I was going for the Cats, so I dressed in navy and white stripes, and accessorised with a Cats…
i’m better when i’m dancing
Day 23 was a bright and happy day, despite the grey skies. Mini-Me and I were finally able to see my Mum and Dad after many months apart, in our 25km overlap zone. Such a happy occasion called for the Hell Bunny Over the Rainbow frock. Who do you think taught me to be so…
it’ll be here, better than before
I’m writing about Day 22 of Frocktober on day 23 because the public holiday kicked in early for me and I didn’t do anything productive last night. Don’t take it personally – I didn’t do my dinner dishes either. On Day 22 I wore a new frock from Little Party Dress. They have been the…
i started smiling coz you were smiling
You can’t be what you can’t see. On Day 21 of Frocktober I’m in front of this mural by Carla McRae featuring women in what some would call non-traditional roles, including a scientist. It feels fitting when promoting ovarian cancer research and the work of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). I had a bit…
