It’s Pink October

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Gordmans is turning October into Pink October. Throughout the rest of this month, you can help Gordmans raise money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) by shopping in store and posting about your #GotItAtGordmans finds on social media and using the hashtag #IPinkICan! For every Instagram photo posted with the hashtag, Gordmans will donate $1.00 to support BCRF. Gordmans believes that research is the only way to end breast cancer, which is why they have decided to help BCRF lead the way. Gordmans also wants to honor those impacted by breast cancer and their loved ones this month, and they encourage you to tell them your reason for standing behind breast cancer research through using the hashtag:  #ResearchIsTheReason.

Of course, I also wanted to partake in helping Gordmans empower BCRF! To celebrate and raise awareness for Pink October, I headed to Gordmans for inspiration. I don’t have a lot of pink garments in my wardrobe so I was excited to add some pops of color into these looks. I’ll be wearing this look to work at least once a week! I love that this Lane Bryant top is feminine and fun with the orchid color and pleated sleeves. I have never had anything like it before! I actually tied it in the front to transform it into a crop top to go with this houndstooth skirt, but I could have also tucked it in. I can also wear this as a normal blouse with jeans or slacks—versatility is always key with me! To top off the look, I plopped on these rhinestone clips, which are so trendy! Overall, I scored this whole look for less than $40! Can you believe it?!

While I was shopping, I noticed that Gordmans had “Pink” items, including this watch, and I learned that 50% of the purchase price of these items will also go to BCRF. You can learn more about how your store will be celebrating Pink October by clicking HERE. Of course, this watch will pair well with anything, but I had this gorgeous, cozy pink sweater in my cart and I couldn’t envision it with anything else. I love this second look as a casual, everyday look that’s effortlessly chic—and comfortable!
