Live for Pink!

Downeast Outfitters has always been one of my favorite places to shop. When I was in high school, the one in town sold lucky jeans and silver jeans at super discounted prices, and they always made me look a million times better than any other jeans. I LOVED THEM!
As I got older and the store shut down I went to others when I was near them, mostly in Utah. They are amazing. Their undershirts are long and give great coverage. I can always find something fashionable and modest. I am obsessed with downeast outfitters. In fact, I wear something from them almost daily. All my undershirts are from them, along with some of my favorite dresses. I also love their other shirts and well, everything.
Besides this fact, I have a newfound respect for them. They have always been a good company, but they have a new thing going on. It's called Live For Pink.
For those of you that don't know me well, I have many people in my life that have been touched with cancer. My sister was diagnosed as a nineteen year old, and has luckily never had a recurrence of it. She did not have breast cancer, it was another kind. My grandfather died when I was three due to complications following his fight with cancer, his was also not breast cancer. In 2000 my other grandfather (who has become one of the most important parts of my life ever), had an extremely close call during his long fight with prostate cancer. My aunt lost her fight a few years following this from complications with breast cancer. My grandpa's wife, my grandma, (who is also one of the most amazing and important women I have ever known), had a fight with breast cancer a few years ago. She found a reoccurance a couple years ago, and she recently finished chemo. I am so thankful for the medicine we have and the ability to overcome things like this. I don't think I could survive without them.
Needless to say, I am a huge advocate for breast cancer prevention, and all kinds of cancer research. Well, this is what LIVE FOR PINK is all about. Not everyone can contribute in the way they would wish, but Downeast Outfitters has created a way to get a cute pink shirt, with options of which you want, and 50% of the proceeds go to the cause of breast cancer research. You can also try hooking up with the Susan B Komen foundation. Just be thankful for those you have, and try and support the cause by wearing a super cute pink shirt from Downeast!!
