If you have not already caught up on my latest crazy idea I am wearing dresses every day in October as part of Frocktober which aims to raise money in support of research into Ovarian cancer.
When I decided on the idea it was a warm morning and the thought of wearing dresses for a month was very appealing. However as there have only been two warmish days so far, wearing dresses each day has actually been really hard. I have had to wear tights and a long sleeve t-shirt under most dresses just to stay a little bit warm and on the really cold days I have been stripping off the dresses and putting trackies, jumper and ugg boots in instead.
Here is a brief catch up on my first week of Frocktober for those who missed it on facebook:
Saturday: Mainly stayed indoors but still needed the tights and long sleeve top
Sunday: Family from out of town arrived and we visited Floriade. Really this is the only time Canberrans venture outside when it is really cold...just to show off some flowers to visiting relatives. I was wearing a lovely summery maxi dress (with a massive coat and tights underneath). I started to regret my decision to do Frocktober.
Monday: I stayed in pj until 11.30 then popped this dress on as I was indoors and then on a car trip to Sydney for the day.
Tuesday: I spent the day with my in laws in the Blue Mountains where is was much warmer than Canberra
Wednesday: My family attended a camp for Minister's Families. No doubt some were thinking "This girl has obviously never been to a camp before!" I told a few people..ok as many as I could that it was for charity.
Thursday: Still at the camp...still getting some funny looks as it was cold that day but I was trying to not worry about it and enjoy myself.
Friday: Heading home from the camp wearing my super comfy wrap dress. Week one completed and only three and a bit to go.
I am finding it pretty hard and am actually hanging to wear my jeans but I am really hoping that some of you will support me as I do this. Even a few dollars will add up of lots of people do it. Please go to www.everydayhero.com.au/mummysunderservedblessings and show your support.
