I’ve teamed up with DECODE 1.8 (who are known for their GORGE dresses and gowns) and wearing red today to raise awareness for heart disease … especially for women!
February is American Heart Health month and did you know that 1 in 4 women dies from heart disease? In fact, coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common type of heart disease, is the #1 killer of both men and women in the United States. EEK!!
Personally, I don’t think that we should need a month to make us more aware of this. Why, as women, are we programmed and understand the importance of, getting our mammograms and pap smears but yet don’t pay as much attention to heart disease? Are we simply afraid to talk about it?
The good news is that you can control many CHD risk factors through lifestyle changes, medicines and even surgical procedures. So take care of your heart health, my friends …
… because you’ve got years and YEARS ahead of you of wearing OH-SO-FAB dresses!

Be still my heart, well maybe not ‘still’ given it’s Heart Month 🙂 Love the red and turquoise! Fabulous look!
Thanks for the “heart health” giggles, GF!
Beautifully inspirational.
It’s such an important subject, and your outfit is the perfect way to give it it’s due!!
XOXO

My fav colors are up-front here for Heart month!!! Thanks for your efforts and your attention.
You need to wear evening gowns more often… You look stunning!!
Thanks for helping raise awareness for heart health!
I think women do not get concerned about heart disease because it’s perceived as a male problem. Not so!
I agree, Carolyn. And you’re right – so not true.
Thank you for raising more awareness for heart disease in women! It is something we gloss over and don’t consider as important as our annual checks for cancer, etc.
Your red & turquoise ensemble is classic and stunning.
(I am REALLY crushing on your cuff & earrings! LOVE!!)
