Get your dresses on for Frocking Friday!

If you enjoyed following the ladies (and gents!) taking part in Dressember, then you might like to know that some of the folks taking part are continuing their challenge to wear more dresses by taking part in Frocking Fridays. The premise is simple – every friday you must wear a dress and upload the pic to the Facebook group. Don’t worry if you missed the first couple of weeks, you can still join in and take part for the rest of the year. You can repeat dresses so don’t worry if you don’t have 52 of them floating about, it’s all about getting out of your jeans and trying something a bit more glam!

You don’t need to have a blog to join in the fun, though there are loads of bloggers taking part, and it’s great to see them talking about their choices. Pop over and see Amber, Fi, Caroline, Purdey, Spiragirl, Cassy and Tat for their Frocking Fridays so far!

Here are my first two…

I almost cropped the head out of this one because it’s such a crap photo, but never mind! This is a Bettie Page Clothing dress I bought in Vegas, and I think the last time I wore it was for a Mad Men themed party when I moved into my new flat. I’ve been there nearly two years so it’s high time I started wearing this a bit more often!

Week two and a a brand new dress. This is a sale find from Monsoon. I can’t remember the last time I bought anything there, but with two weddings to attend in the next few months I popped in to see if they had anything in the sale that’d work…and not only did I get the perfect wedding guest dress, I also found this baby for less than £20. It’s a tiny bit mumsy, but it fits so well, and I’ve always dressed a bit old-fashioned!
