ModCloth asked a group of bloggers to take part in their Frocktober event and I'm happy to be included! Each of us received ModCloth's new Frocktober dress to style up in our own fashion to help spread the word. In case you're not familiar (Unless you're from Australia you might be like "WTF mate?" Bonus points if you know that reference!), Frocktober is an organization created by some twenty-and-thirty something gals who want to help spread awareness for ovarian cancer. Frocktober hails from Australia but that doesn't mean girls (and guys!) worldwide shouldn't be up to date on detection and prevention. Check out the information below to see how you can get involved!
Just a heads up, the Frocktober dress just launched on ModCloth's site today and 20% of the sales from each and every ones goes straight to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) of Australia!
Purpose: Frocktober is all about wearing dresses during the month of October to raise funds and awareness for ovarian cancer research. 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.
How to get involved: Visit the website www.Frocktober.org, click 'Start fundraising' and follow the prompts.
If you're curious what the dress is like in real life: it's heavy! Like, the super-nice-quality heavy that is perfect for Autumh/Winter. It's comfortable by itself but I can just imagine layering it up for the cold weather! I can't wait! And the color... *swoon!*. I decided to keep my styling super minimal and easy. Black tights, black ruffle heels and pops of ivory! I honestly sort of felt like a superhero in the dress! The big heart on the front like my symbol, and no solid superhero is without tights (except maybe Wonder Woman!). How would you style this dress?
