Frocktober 2014 | Days 11 to 15

For Frocktober Day 11, I’m wearing the gorgeous Mix Apparel Eyelet Dress that Rachel from Redcliffe Style and I selected for our October Style it Project piece.  What a pretty girl this frock is.  A little retro cute, a little boho chic. she is the perfect summer frock.

I teamed it with New Look clog sandals from Payless Shoes, a Mimco headband and arm party featuring ASOS, Jet Empire* and Red Phoenix Emporium.

Another pretty as a picture white dress for Frocktober Day 12.  I don’t even know who I am anymore!  This lovely Tilly dress is ridiculously girly, complete with ric rac, one of my favourite trimmings.  This dress fits perfectly – except in the boobage.  I have plans to alter it, but in the meantime, I’ve teamed it with a lightweight wrap cardigan to keep me nice.

Colour pop accessories complete my look, with my Mint Mox*, Chloden London cobalt bag* from OzSale, Sportscraft cobalt leather skinny belt and yellow leather hairbow by Alannah Hill.  Another arm party with the same guests as Day 11.

It’s official.  I really don’t know who I am anymore.  I do love a frock.  Hello, third year of Frocktober.  But three white frocks in a row?

This little beauty for Frocktober Day 13  is 100% textured cotton.  I liken the fabric to a kantha blanket.  An emergency dash to get new trainers for Boyo saw me with a few moments to wander around Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre.  I swooped on this lovely Country Road dress – a steal at $20 – and these fabulous Seed rope wedge sandals.  I still can’t believe I paid $7.50 for them.

I teamed the dress with a little striped cropped cardigan, also by Country Road.  I love this so much I have it in the black colour way too.  Dirty Hair Don’t Care was rescued with a vintage silk scarf tied as a hairbow, and my Chloden London bag from OzSale* and a pretty in pink Jet Empire* arm party provided my beloved colour pop!

Frocktober Day 14 and it was uncharacteristically freezing in the midst of spring.  The perfect opportunity to wear this brand new Portmans^ ponte jersey dress I bought in a clearance sale for a totally ridiculous price.  So nice to wear a dress that I thought wouldn’t get an outing until next winter.

I teamed the dress with my New Look Idol derby laceups in Bronze, from Payless Shoes.  Run don’t walk to grab these at $10 a pair!

Frocktober Day 15 was a day with a difference.  I had to whizz Boyo into the city for a dance workshop.  Commuter traffic is cray cray – and it’s even worse in the rain.  How do people do that every single day?!

I teamed my Popbasic^ dress with a Katies^ French terry jacket, and added pops of colour with my Forever New mustard crochet headband, Sussan merlot tights, latte Nine West ankle boots and Chloden London* handbag from OzSale.
