Today is Go Red for Women day, and heart health and raising awareness for it is a cause (forgive this pun) near to my heart. A lot of my relatives have had heart-related issues. Both of my grandfathers passed away from heart attacks - one when I was just six months old and I never had the privilege of getting to know him myself. And my mom, who is one of the healthiest people on this planet, has always preached the necessity of being good about heart health. So when I stumbled across this Day of Awareness at What Andie Wears blog through the randomness of the blogosphere, I decided to make sure that I participated.
Which also means that this red blazer made it into my 30 for 30 items. I decided to really play up the red with this amazing red heart necklace and my red dotted earrings. I could have gone all out and used my red pumps, but I decided against it and went with the animal-print wedges instead. Also, on a whim I decided to add a flower, but instead of my pink flower pin (which would have made this into a complete Valentine's Day homage), I went instead with my beige flower pin.
I hope everyone has had a great Friday!! I am super happy that it is the weekend because I desperately need some rest and I am glad that the Super Bowl will finally take place. As a big sports fan, but even bigger baseball fan, I am kind of over with football season, and ready for some spring training to begin. Thank goodness some March Madness will be coming up soon as well! There is nothing I like to watch more than games that mean something (and especially when an office pool is at stake!).
Will you be watching the Super Bowl? Who will you be rooting for? Did you wear red today? If so, let me know and leave a link to your blog, because I want to see!

love it! thanks for participating!!!
and the heart necklace is just perfect. ;)
Red+leopard is such a fab combo. I wish I had known about Go Red for Women. I would have worn the red top I included in my 30x30. Next time!
The rich color of your jacket is nice against that rose pin! And I agree with the addition of the leopard, cool touch.
I wore red today, too!
I love this red jacket of yours. It is such a fabulous color for a great cause!
As far as the Superbowl goes, I can't say that I am cheering for anyone at this point.

As always, you look adorable. I love the red jacket! You were by far the most stylish woman ever to walk into Jump n' Jimmy's yesterday! :)
I love how the red necklace and pin on your blazer take this from being an outfit with basics to a stunning look. Accessories rule.
Lauren!! Sometimes I look at your pictures and think, Well, she can't possibly look any better than this, but somehow you keep topping yourself. This is AMAZING. You look perfect, honestly. Please dress me everyday.

I love your leopard flats. I've never been one to pull the leopard print off, but the print on shoes is the way to go.
