That's my mom. She's loved hats...for as far as I can remember. In the mid-1980s, when hats were an "optional" accessory, she had a chapeau to match every church dress. I can remember a particular black hat that she wore with an emerald green dress. I wanted to be her so badly, so I could wear the hat. Unfortunately, I'm not a hat person - I think that gene skipped a generation, and Celia has it.
The difference is in that first picture, Mom's hat is a not-so-optional accessory. In this picture, she was finally well enough to go on a Girl's Day Out with Celia and me, but the hat hides the post-chemo fuzz. She's survived cancer twice, including breast cancer.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I desperately want to see breast cancer gone - I never want to see my daughter wearing a hat because her head is bald from cancer treatment. To help make that happen, Strawberry Princess (Independent Lilla Rose Consultant) is hosting a fundraiser from October 1-31, 2014. It will benefit Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that funds cancer research. Over 91% of funds raised by Breast Cancer Research Foundation go to medical research to eradicate breast cancer.
Here's how it will work:
- Shop through midnight PST on October 31.
- Go to http://lillarose.biz/strawberryprincess
- Click "go shopping"
- Shop using the keyword "pink"
