Here's mine!

My mother and aunt are cancer survivors (stomach and breast), and my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother both died of lung cancer.

Angie, may this be another wonderful YLF tradition!

Here is a round up of my outfits. The first one was created tonight just for this thread

The others are mostly from my "Pink October Week". The last one is from my thread "Like Mother Like Daughter" - not pink, but wearing my mum's outfit from when I was a little girl and a special tribute to her. I wish every cancer patient my mum's strength in fighting the disease and her love for life. It makes all the difference in the world.

I wore this earlier this month, it wasn't worth a WIW post in my estimation but it is proof that I thought about BCAM. Many around me have unsuccessfully fought cancer, I don't really know what to say ... very sad.

THANK YOU. These outfits are even more beautiful to me knowing the sentiments and thoughts for loved ones behind them. It has been cathartic reading your words and seeing your support.

I'm sorry to dash off - work is hectic till Xmas. But I do echo Ornella and hope this thread becomes an annual YLF tradition. Go Team Pink. xo

I'm on a break at a seminar and figured out how to do this on my phone.

Hoping that blush counts, as it is the only pink thing I own! Healing thoughts to all who are in treatment.

My humble contribution from a K/R a bit ago. I had all the intentions of posting a good outfit today, incorporating this hot pink trench, but I don't feel good at all. I am sending my best wishes to all forum members, who are now seeking treatment and to all of us, who have lost or have a sick family member. Please ignore the first picture. I cannot delete it.

My thoughts are with everyone fighting this disease too.

I love some shades of pink like orchid and fuchsia but I don't have many items in these colors in my closet So here it is the picture of my orchid trench I wore on Maryland vacation in October and also my blush pink khakis I have already stored away for the next summer.
I lost all my grandparents to different kinds of cancer so it is a real scare in my family. I am sending healing thoughts to all who is battling it right now!

Unfortunately I don't own any 'regular' clothes with pink, but my whole triathlon competition kit is pink, and the wetsuit is the pink ribbon edition.

This is a wonderful tribute ! I am also thinking of San and Tanya in particular as they are in the midst of it. It can seem so lonely some times. That is why this place is so wonderful.

As someone who has been going through the cancer labyrinth for almost 3 years, I want to say that this has always been a place of respite and incredible support. And a place where the women have always understood how important it was to hang onto a little bit of "me"...even if all that meant was washing my hair for the day. Thank you ! I don't know what else to say.

AV, what tremendous loss. I am sorry. Your post reminds me though, that MEN get breast cancer too.

I want to remember my sister in law who died last month and my friend's husband who died exactly one year ago.

I've looked through my photos and have nothing pink to post but wanted to add my support for Isabel, Tanya and Sandy, and remembering Angie's sweet mum, in heaven. Hugs and love to all!

I dug through my archives as far back as June and found these pinktastic outfits of several shades of pink. I even started with a few actual October outfits (1-5 - my sidekick wears a lot of pink normally too)
My thoughts are with everyone who has been touched by cancer in direct and indirect ways. This is very personal for me as I lost my father when he was only 45 and not a day goes by when I don't wish I could change that. I also lost a dear family friend (whom I always called Uncle Steve) much too young as well. My stepfather is now being treated and my prayers are with the lovely Tanya. I'm in for the annual tradition. I sincerely hope in our lifetime we can see an end to this.

To me pink is a colour of strength, femininity, wisdom, remembrance and above all happiness. I wear pink with pride and I wear it often.

Plenty of pink. Thank you all so much. And thank you for sharing your stories, and opening up your hearts to both hurtful and hopeful memories. I hope it was cathartic for you too.

Here are some of mine from the past two weeks. There are plenty more somewhere, but not quite in a mood to try and find them.

Thank you for the wonderful and supporting post. The disease is truly awful.

Pic 1: For my mother who died of breast cancer - she was an excellent seamstress (the skirt is pink and purple and I made it myself).
Pic 2: For my grandmother, who also died of breast cancer - this is one of my favorite outfits and she was my favorite grandmother (the sweater top is pale pink).
Pic 3: For my aunt Joan, who also died of breast cancer - this is my whimsical pink kitty Gap shirt, she had a great sense of humor and was always happy.

Sorry for the late post and old photos of my fuchsia/magenta pencil skirt. My pink handbag and Splendid sandals are here in spirit, I couldn't get them to post.

What a lovely tribute thread.

Pink is not well represented in my wardrobe. But I will extend my support with this photo of a pink pencil skirt that I posted here last spring (and have yet to wear out of the house). My heart is with those who are fighting or have fought cancer.

I just have this photo from last year now available but wanted to participate.
I am thinking about all people who have to deal with cancer.I have several cases in my family, some of them already passed away, some are still fighting it. I have friends who saw their loved ones suffer with the disease and have friends who are themselves survivors.
My heart goes to all that have been affected by it in one way or another.

I wore pink the day I got my new job and arrived at Shoptoberfest! (MaryK took the pic right after I told them all about the offer.) One of the directors who interviewed me said, "Oh, you're wearing pink for breast cancer awareness, I forgot but will wear it Monday!"

I don't know if you can see but the blouse is a very pale apple-blossom pink. My favorite pink.

I have been very bad about taking pictures this month (adjusting to a new schedule), but I will post my two favorite pink items in a photo flashback! Angie, and everyone who has lost someone to cancer, my heart goes out to you.

Love everyone in pink today. This is dedicated to my friend Jane whom I lost recently to colon cancer.

Hi Angie,
I haven't posted any pictures yet of any color, but here's a virtual pink posting... if there is such a thing... in support. Pictures will follow, I promise.

I don't have any pink outfits to post, but I am extending my support. Thanks for starting this post, Angie, and thanks to all those wearing pink.

What a lovely, loving thread... wearing a color may seem like a small thing, but the thought behind it is so meaningful.

I don't know if orchid counts as pink, but I tried! Also nabbed the pink Muubaa at the end of the month. I don't own much pink... lol.

Thank you for this post Angie. I am thinking of my dad as well as all those close to my fellow Fabbers.

This is the only pink thing I own! It's a photo from my early days at YLF.

Angie it is heartbreaking that your beautiful mother and your family went from diagnosis to ultimate end in just 12 weeks. I am 59 the same age your mother was and I feel way too young to give up life as I'm sure your Mom felt. Cancer is scary. Thank you for the support from all of you.
I don't have pictures of me wearing pink that I want to show. With my treatment I lost half of my hair and I have not had it colored yet so I have half gray and the rest is what's left of the color I had, so I don't feel like getting in front of a camera. I rarely go out these days so I so much appreciate you all wearing pink in support of cancer research.
Keep up the good work Tanya and Isabel.
XOXO Sandy

PS You all look so beautiful in your pink and your tributes to your loved ones brings tears.

As my salute to cancer sufferers I'd like to share these words:
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul
and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson.

OH WOW.

WOW.

This is what you call a send off. It has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't thank you enough for the compassion and camaraderie.

Sandy and Tanya, it's extra special that you chimed in. You are both beautiful to me no matter what. Lots of love to you. xo
