Taking the Pink Ribbon Plunge

Earlier this week in my post Embracing the Pink I confessed I was about to purchase my first article of pink ribbon clothing. A t-shirt. I really liked the picture of the one in my post, but when I was ready to spend I somehow found myself on a different website...with good deals...and I went a little nutso.

So, I found a shirt. Bowling anyone?

Then, there was this comfy, cozy jacket. I like to have a jacket with me at all times because I never know when I'm going to find myself at the grocery store where I'm guessing polar bears like to shop. It's always so cold there!

Now I couldn’t resist this cute ball cap, even though I never wear hats. I’d wear hats more often if it weren’t for my bouffant hair. It’s not that I prefer bouffant hair – or as my kids call it, “fluffy hair” - but mine is naturally fuzzy (not curly) and so I must curl it to smooth and soften the texture which makes it a little big and not ideal for hats.  (Envision Bozo hair flipping out from underneath the cap.) I could straighten it but since my hair is falling out and breaking off I don’t like to do that too often.

Now I thought these shoes. boots. house shoes? Were adorable. I’m not a very fashionable or trendy person, so I really don’t know what these are, but since I’ve seen women out in public with similar foot coverings I decided to wear these last night while picking up pizza. I think I should have worn pajamas to complete the ensemble.

Don't know why I wore these across dew-covered grass. But aren't they cute?

Lastly, here’s my daughter Rachael who took pictures of me and silly selfies of herself while I was trying to tame my hair. She's smart, funny, absolutely delightful.

So there you have it. I purchased all of these items from The Breast Cancer Site. They claim that each purchase helps fund mammograms and research. I hope that’s true because I couldn’t find additional details regarding it. 

Consider me a walking billboard now for breast cancer research and awareness. What better way to spark conversation about my experiences since I can’t go around topless?

Hope you have a joy-filled day.
