Purple & Pink Clothes, Again?(October Awareness 2017)

Because You Never Know! That why I only wear pink & purple in public in October. You didn't ask, but I told you anyway. No, in offline land people have noticed & asked me about my outfit color choices in October.

October is the month where we talk more about Breast Cancer & Domestic Violence awareness. If you are new to my blog(Welcome), these are two topics that are very near & dear to my heart.
I have several people in my life who survivors of breast cancer or suffered from domestic violence. I have yet to do a walk(Keyword is Yet), but years ago I decided to let my look honor those I care about. When I wear makeup, I create a face using the colors pink & purple.(Reason is HERE) But I don't wear makeup all the time, I do wear body coverings all the time. And because of my stereotypical feminine style, I have enough purple & pink to wear most days of the October. Oh & I forget my pins are still on the previous tops.

But yes, it's all because you never know. You never know that your cashier ringing your groceries is a ten year BC survivor.
You maynever know why a friend is helping a friend with their makup is because of a blackeye caused by a lover's fist. That guy you have nicknamed Man Boobs, might have a lump and is scared to see a doctor. But your insults causes you not to know. And you'll never know when you look at national commercial, you would see the face of a former classmate, who once thought they were stupid for being a DV victim.

But you do know that we all should be educated, mindful, & awareness. So, Let Us All Be Those Three Things. Because you don't know, if it could be you next.

As Always Talking to You in Adult Terms
