Relay of Life 2008
- 4/23/2008
 I participated in the Relay for Life over the weekend with the company I work for.
My boss-lady is actually a cancer survivor & I'm glad she's still around. Besides the fact that she employs me, I also consider her a very good friend and I'm glad I've gotten to know her. Her father-in-law is also a survivor while his wife, unfortunately, is no longer with us due to the disease. So, this is obviously an important cause for them and, by extension, to me as well.
I've never done a Relay for Life, or really any other fundraiser before. I expected it to be pretty boring but it turned out to be really fun. There were tents everywhere with games & so many different kinds of food - yum! Also, there were many events that were unique to the relay to honor the survivors, the lost and the caretakers.
I dressed for comfort & most others did as well. I always start thinking at any event like this about how I should have dressed, how to be comfy & cute despite the sun and the walking and being in the outdoors - you get my meaning. I end up critiquing everyone else's looks (and mine when I see myself in the mirror) to think about how they (or mine) could have been done better.
But to be honest, outdoor, walking a lot type events - concerts, theme parks, fundraisers - tend to be tricky to dress for.
Only one outfit stood out to me and she is pictured above to the right. I love the hat - so practical in the strong Florida sun. And the clothes are basic but look comfortable & lightweight. If you want to see what I wore - so boring! but practical - click here to see me in MyStyleDiary.
But here is a post that made me happy over at WhoWhatWearDaily. I'm glad to know someone else was thinking about this. And I will try to take their tips. I so love the shorts outfit!Labels: Life
