pop of pink for purpose

Dress & Bracelet- Thrifted; Tights- Hue; Boots- Spring; Scarf- Old Navy; Nail Polish- Sweet Tart by Revlon

For a gal who dreamed of going to law school so that she could wear pink power suits like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, my closet is lacking in the girly hue.  I scraped and scrounged to put together two outfits to participate in Amy's Blogging for Breast Cancer Awareness link-up.  My sister in law was recently diagnosed with breast cancer which was a scare for the whole family but thankfully she is in remission and doing a lot better.  Breast cancer affects us all and October is awareness month to time to don some pink and show your support!




Speaking of female support, the United Nations has declared today the International Day of the Girl, a day to speak out against gender bias & give girls everywhere a voice, a chance and a future.  You can learn more about this powerful movement here & here



Here is another pink outfit I wore recently (I took photos too late in the day hence the dusky background).  
Blouse, Vest & Belt- Thrifted; Skirt- Old Navy; Shoes- Target; Tights- Forever 21

This month, wear a pop of pink with pride and purpose!

  3. The pink tights peeking out in your first look are so fun! Loving the second look with the fuller skirt and the layering. Way to support a great cause :)

  4. I love your pops of pink. I usually dress in neutrals and add pops of color here and there to spice up the outfit. It's a fun way to mix things up.

  7. I love the navy dress with the pop of pink tights and that the scarf pulls it all together. I hope your sister in law is doing ok, I feel very blessed to have not been touched personally by breast cancer in my family yet.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
