A Red Pump, Red Tie Affair

Today's blog post is brought to you by The Read Pump Project :)

Every year, the United States recognizes March 10th as National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NWGHAAD). It’s a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on women & girls and encourages ladies to take action. While progress has definitely been made in the areas of AIDS prevention and treatment, women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with African-American women accounting for 66% of that group. This year focuses on this statistic, “Every 35 minutes, a woman tests positive for HIV in the United States.”

Will you rock the red pump tomorrow for HIV/AID awareness? Even better, go out and get tested! Guys can participate by wearing a red tie :)

What I Wore: My First Outfit Post

I've been reading a few fashion blogs lately, so I decided to try out posting one of my outfits too. I broke a couple of fashion rules today. I wore a bright cardigan over a bright top. I also wore a dress over jeans. Here were the results:

Sorry you guys, I'm not a professional model OR photographer. Taking pictures of yourself is hard! Especially when you're trying to fit the whole outfit in. Anyways, what I've learned from this is that breaking fashion rules isn't always beneficial. I didn't really like how this one turned out after looking at the pictures. Plus the tube dress kept slipping down while I was playing tennis today (thank goodness for the t-shirt underneath!). Oh yeah, and I think this outfit makes my look kinda preggers. >_< Oh well, another day, another outfit.
