Blogtoberfest Day 6: Frocktober


Channelling James Bond

I haven't had a chance to show off the fabulous vintage dresses that I scored at the Talbot Market a couple of weeks ago, so Amy's Frocktober theme for today was the perfect opportunity.

I made a date - me, the self-timer on the camera, and the blank wall in the spare room. I probably should have invited a hairdresser......

....and a stylist with an iron

This colour does nothing for my pale skin.... not a keeper

Aha! But this one is my favourite..... the perfect SuperPops dress!

As Liesl commented:

Faster than a speeding overlocker.
More powerful than a craft hammer.
Able to leap tall stashes in a single bound.

Look! Up in the sky!

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's SuperPops!



Don't try this at home folks.... you may topple over.

  9. You are very, very cool in my book. I love that first dress and it is so cool that you have a WW crown. You should wear the crown more often.

  11. Gorgeous, Cam! Both you and the dresses.
    If you ever want to sell the green one, can you please let me know?
    I've always thought you are a superstar. Now it's been confirmed for me.

  13. Thank you for a wonderful post that makes me smile. You are a legend!

    My favourite dress is the first one. The circle detail almost looks like argyle (my current love!).

    I'm headed to a vintage show in a couple of weeks. I scored a free ticket during Blogtoberfest. This post has encouraged me to be brave as I probably wouldn't have picked these dresses from a rack but they look great on!

  15. I'm so glad you have Wonder Woman cuffs! That outfit would have been incomplete otherwise. ;-)

  16. As my prep son would say (but not know the true meaning)..."Sex-y lay-dee"
    Greeen dress is super cute!

  17. I love that first dress! You may have inspired me to go back to my 60's frock I have just abandoned.

  18. I think I'm going to make myself one of those hats and just wear it around the house. Then maybe my kids will listen to me. I'll let you know.

  23. How could you NOT love the Superpops dress? It is perfect with the headpiece & bullet-reflecting wristbands. Too bad more crafty crimefighters couldn't be this well put together..

    Most excellent, superheroine!

    Getting distracted, just putting brooches online now.

  31. I ADORE the first two dresses. And yes, an iron would be a bonus. Before my sister's wedding I ironed the other bridesmaid's dress but didn't have time to iron my own, and every time I look at the ceremony photos with my transported-in-a-shopping-bag crinkled silk dupion dress, I die a little inside.

  32. Cam...How cool...
    I adore wonder woman...
    It was the only "proper doll" i had when I was young...
    I even bought one a few years ago and I still have it in the box...
    Yeah weird I know...
    Love the outfits...
    AND the first one is very bond girl...

    ReplyDelete
  34. rofl! Love that last one :-) Frocktober - perfect timing for my own post today, thanks for the tip-off! PS What's an iron? Oh I know, it's that little craft gadget that only ever comes out when I need to smooth crumpled ribbons, right?!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't wear dresses all that often myself, but I'm lovin' that green one! And those legs....they were made for dress wearing! (unlike mine).

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ahhhh Cam! It's just not fair! I'm a girl with a non-existent pelvic floor. You're not allowed to do any more SuperPops posts until I've seen the physio!!!!

    ReplyDelete
