Happy Frocktober! I'm so excited to be posting about this wonderful collaboration today and to be one of the bloggers taking part! ModCloth has joined up with Frocktober to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation of Australia! What is Frocktober? It's all about wearing dresses in the month of October to raise funds and awareness for ovarian cancer research. ModCloth is helping out by donating 20% of each Frocktober dress they sell. So, go now, pick yourself up one! Not only is this dress super cute, but it helps a wonderful cause.
If you're looking for ways to raise money, there are several options! It's up to you on how you want to contribute to Frocktober! Here are some helpful ways to get started:
- Don a frock all month, half of it, or even a week and get sponsored for it! This is the original Frocktober challenge. So original that it's almost retro.
- Blog about it! Blog about your frockscapades to the WWW. Photograph your frockin’ efforts, show them off to the world and get sponsored for it!
- Morning/afternoon teas; nothing’s better than a decadent cup of tea in your favourite frock. Call your frockish friends; turn the kettle on, put out some dollar-dazzling slice and your event is complete!
- Challenge your mates. How about your school buddy who has worn only pants since 1997, or your male friend who can't say no to a dare? Put your money on the table until they get a frock on.
Be sure to head over to ModCloth to check out the Frocktober dress and help out in any way you can. Currently, there is no appropriate early detection test for ovarian cancer. Frocktober supports the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation in Australia in the search for an appropriate screening test, with the ultimate aim to improve outcomes for patients and their families.

That Frocktober dress is frocking adorable!! It looks beyond perfect with your pumpkin patch back drop.
I'm happy to see bloggers/Modcloth getting the word out about Ovarian cancer. Like you said, there isn't an early detection method, so there really is a need for research to make good medicines!
I had Ovarian cancer when I was four, so as a survivor it's wonderful to see bloggers/Modcloth supporting the cause. This is great! <3
I love this dress (and the cause it supports!) and the way you styled it! Plus all those pumpkins in the background just scream fall!! I love it!!
I love the dress with the background! It's super cute :) Frocktober is such a nice cause!

Love the outfit & the color of those tights!!
i love this dress so, so much :) you look adorable & what a great cause.
I just saw this dress for the first time a couple of minutes ago on ModCloth and I want one sooo bad! The fact that 20% is donated to help fund Ovarian Cancer research makes me want it even more. I'm going to try and save up for this one. It looks fabulous on you by the way!

I wish it was always October just so all your photo shoots were with pumpkins! They're too cute!
It's so cool to see this dress on so many bloggers, especially for a good cause.
P.S. I just finished the E-course from you and Elizabeth and I loved it, very insightful. :)

Super cute dress and great cause! xx
I actually really really love this dress! If it wasn't so expensive (for a student) I would really consider buying it.
Fantastic dress! If I could, I would totally get one and support the cause! Awesome that you are able to inform so many of this cause
Orange dress and orange pumpkins!!!
Gah this couldn't be prettier!

What a darling dress for such an amazing cost. Many women don't know the dangers of ovarian and cervical cancers, and ovarian cancer is often detected in later stages, which reduces the chances of successful treatment (okay, I obviously write for health care publications). Thanks for getting the word out, Tieka!!

Aaah, that dress is a dream! I wish I wasn't in a negative budget at this point. If there is any way I could save any money before this runs out of stock, or if I find a $100 bill on the street, this dress is happening to my closet.
I love that dress!
cuuute dress - and love that it has a good purpose behind it! :) gorgeous photos, teekuh!
Love this, these photos are so adorable!

I just saw Jen's (Jen Loves Kev)outfit post with this dress a minute ago- and it really is an adorable dress! I love how you posed beside a huge pile of pumpkins! I'm also enjoying those shoes! Spice-like hues, including burnt orange, camel and paprika, are my fav this fall!
What a wonderful cause. Your outfit is super cute, love the pumpkin patch background. Thanks for sharing!

I love this initiative and dress from Modcloth! A highschool friend of me died of ovarian cancer when she was only 16 years old. If only they could've detected it earlier, perhaps she would still be alive... Research is so important!
lots of love, Femke On the Button
Amazing, this post is great! I love how you made the Frocktober dress your own. It is just darling with the red wedges!
Awesome, such a great cause, def something that needs more research! props to you & Modcloth & you for doing this, & for such adorable frocks! Love the pumpkin patch too : )
Adorable frock. Love the pumpkin color for pumpkin picking.

I've read about this on ModCloth and think this is such a great idea, especially since one of my best friends was recently diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. So, it's really nice of you to contribute to this important cause. Plus, the dress looks really cute on you. :)
