October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Many women and men have fought this devastating disease, and during the fight, many feel like it took a huge part of themselves away.  In this time of war, remain strong and believe that you are better than ever.  Making it through the fight should give you so much self- assurance that you are here for a reason and here to stay.  Own it!  The only person stopping you is you.  When you believe in yourself, others can’t help but to follow your lead.

Yes, you might lose some physical aspects of yourself but you gain so much power and possession over your life and body that makes you appreciate and love yourself even more. You don’t need anyone’s permission on how to feel in your own skin.  No matter what battles you go through, continue to take control over your life, love yourself.  That altered physical appearance is your battle scars and that’s what makes you unique, intimidating to those who can’t understand.  You made it through the storm, stay blessed and flaunt the skin you’re in.

That’s what Wear it Well is all about. No matter what life throws at you, we want to give you that extra boost to get back to yourself after life knocks you down, reminding you that you deserve to be happy and appreciated in the skin you’re in after your life altering experiences. Believe it!
