In Honour… With Hope (for Mons)

Rock the Cloth

Breast Cancer month is celebrated in October and is marked with raising awareness about the disease. This awareness is aimed at encouraging persons to support research and other efforts, as well as to encourage women to have breast examinations done. But some people honour those they’ve lost during this time as well. There may be persons who have never met anyone affected by the illness, and there are those of us who have. For the latter, it’s not only during October we are aware, but rather we honour loved ones and hope for a cure every month of the year. We may wear pink ribbons throughout the year, but we can also wear pink more boldly.

Not everyone might be comfortable with the idea of wearing pink. For the professional, it might be too soft, and others may have outgrown this youthful colour. Fortunately the colour may flatter just about anyone even in different shades and tints.

o Professional in pink: opt for a muted pink, or integrate only in one garment, such as a blouse, and accessories. For example, a pink blouse with a classic suit (grey or taupe) often works well.

o Maturity in pink: once we have and own our own style, just about any colour (that flatters your complexion) may be worn. Wearing pink in your signature style, or a classic design, will not take away from your image. And sometimes a bit of youth and fun is a good way to break away from the norm.

o Make a statement: when we want a message to be heard we sometimes just have to be loud. Making a statement in pink can be a good way to kick-start a conversation on the topic, allowing you to respond to every question or comment on your choice of colour.

Growing up and hearing about breast cancer, I never imagined that I would meet anyone living with it or who has survived. I have so far worked directly with three survivors, had a neighbour living with it, and a dear friend has lost her battle with it. So we do take the time to let fashion be our voice, but share in words as well.

o Let’s be thankful for those who have overcome

o Let us hope with those living with it, and…

o Let’s honour the memory and lives of those who did not survive.

We honour Monique Anne Georzoung (Mahima): a light to all she has touched.

Steps (skirt):

1. Cut skirt front and back; and waistband.

2. Join the front to the back at the sides.

3. Pleat or gather the waist of the garment based on your preference.

4. Iron interfacing to waistband then attach.

5. Insert zipper and other closure.

6. Finish seams and hem
