Frocktober Day 14 Sage and Orange (no this is not a recipe) Celebration

BIG BIG HUGE THANK YOUSE ALL FOR THE FROCKING FROCKTASTIC DONATIONS!!!! TODAY I REACHED MY FUNDRAISING TARGET AND THEN SOME!
So BIG frocky frothy hugs to the donaters so far: Kathrin, Cass, Kasia, Karen, Cheryl, Chris, Vicki, Kylie, Phil, Melita and Asparagus Pea! Thanks for helping out the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation!

As as we are not even HALF WAY through frocktober ( yeah can you believe you have more than half a month more of gawping at me in a frock left to endure????) I'm hoping I can still make some more dosh $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Spread the word. Share the love.Goodness knows it's a worthy cause. Donate here. 

So! Now to the frock business.
Where else in the world could you wear a summer frock one day in blazing heat and sunshine and have to rug up the next as the temperature plummets to half what it was the day before? Ah...Melbourne. If you don't like the weather......... just wait a minute.......yeah, it's a special place to live. 
This frock is a classic synthetic stretchy  "sweat memory" free- and anyone out there who buys vintage clothes knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about - 70's does 40's frock in a pale sage green. Look at those tricky pleaty bits!
It matches my op shop green and apricot flower hat.
Well matches might be a stretch - matches to me! I've added orange net stocking and my new orange crocheted raffia handbag which I bought on frocktober day 9 in the op shop for $2. And as you can see...I'm pretty happy with the handbag...looks like my head might explode if my grin gets any bigger.

BIG thanks too to today's photographer...Little Joe.
