It's That Time of Year Again

No, not Halloween! For the month leading up to the 31st, support is given all around the country. Its Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and on Thursday the 27th, all are encouraged to wear pink and show their support! So please, dig out your cute pink clothes and do it up! And yes guys, you too should wear the pink! I'm sure enough of you still have a shirt from the weird phase boys went through, "Real Men Wear Pink"!
Also check out these items, cute and supportive (like your favorite bra!)
