O.k., here’s a  little of the family tree .  I am one of 6 children, can you tell which one I am?

I love this picture because you can REALLY see everyone’s true personality.

O.k, I’m the one with the bangs, my sister is sitting on my lap.  (check out the white socks-loved those green slacks!) I can’t remember who took the picture or why we were all gathered; perhaps it was Thanksgiving.  Who knows-we were all dressed up and ready to get in the picture-well, most of us were!

Last weekend I was reflecting and remembering that it was almost October.  September marks so many events in of our lives with Labor Day signaling the end of summer. For me it is an wedding anniversary month, a birthday month for my nieces as well as my father-in-law and the month that my mother passed away from breast cancer.  Last year my father was diagnosed with breast cancer as well (he’s doing very well!)

So, as I was riding in the car enjoying the gorgeous days of early fall I was thinking, how can I celebrate all of these things AND remember with joy and happiness all that life gives!  I said, o.k., I am going to start, October 1st and live for 31 straight days in the PINK! That’s right, to honor all of those who are still here with us and remembering those who have gone on PINK is the IT color for the month.

I’m going wear PINK each and every day the month of October.  It could be a brooch, necklace, t-shirt, blouse, socks or just a ribbon…but whatever it is it must be PINK…..

I have a few things PINK in my wardrobe but I need your help.  Send me your suggestions.  I have A LOT going on in the month of October, from the “Trends with Friends” and How to Have S.T.Y.L.E event to the last  Style Camp of 2009 all in the month in October.  I am always  “expected”  to be in style and fashionable wherever I go—so please help!

It should be fun!  None of us are immune to the “C” word.  Some of us are touched in ways that have greater impact but all of us are touched. O.k., I’m feeling the need to go shopping now…..

Here’s what I’m wearing today…A bit casual…On sale at Macy’s yesterday, couldn’t resist.  Rather beachy but still warm here in Atlanta.  That with a pair of dark denim and a sunny fall day is perfect here in the south.

I’m going to be posting things that you can take advantage of each day to honor and give back to breast cancer research.

The panther’s got nothing on us….here’s a special from Bobbi Brown..Free shipping all month  

Join me and let’s all:

“Look Good, Feel Great and Have FUN Doing It!”
