What to Wear Wednesday: White Blouse

December 23, 2020

Wearing black and white is timeless and crisp. The only thing to be careful of is spillage I really enjoyed the overall look and idea of this outfit, but there were some things that irked me about the shirt. Also, I forgot to take pictures of my shoes so bear with me, this is a new segment for all of us. I promise I’ll get better, sigh[...]

I had another post planned, but this is how I want to end the first week of the month. It's breast cancer awareness month. Having a 2x survivor in my family brings this especially close to me and hopefully, it serves as a reminder to self-check and see your OBGYN at least annually. 

Here in the US, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, average risk of 12-13%. You're more at risk if someone in your immediate family has had it. Unhealthy lifestyle habits can also contribute to its development, but its never too late to live and be healthier. 

The only harm is in NOT getting checked. Stay happy and healthy this month, and every month πŸ’œπŸ’•
