Our last blog this month is dedicated to The Gal Walk’s friend and champion Dorit Shapiro. I met Dorit at the kick off of the Franklin Covey Planner for the Gal to Gal organization. Ironically, there was a personal item that belonged to Dorit in the Franklin Planner that I won. I mailed it back to her and told her how she inspired me with her fight. A couple weeks later Dorit passed away. She is missed by so many friends and family members. I challenge everyone to assist organizations like The Gals with their fight to help women. Gal tip: Encourage your friends to get a mammogram. Blessings to everyone!

In Honor of The Gals – Dorit Shapiro – A Woman Who Thrived
In Honor of The Gals – “Thriving Underneath It All – Pretty in Pink
In honor of our Gals, I thought we would celebrate the signature color that is dedicated to the cause, pink. I am a pink fan and wear it in every season including while visiting New York in the middle of winter with my pink trench coat. Yes, that was me. I am a California Diva what can I say…We picked out a few of our favorites to inspire us that pink is a color that is full of life, vitality and girl fun. Felina 630461 is a super cute with a soft feminine floral print. Cosabella AMORE 1103 is rock star fun. This one would have to be seen in my book, so I would wear it under a sheer camisole with a peek a boo affect under a button down shirt. The black trim allows it to be a perfect match for fall wardrobe solutions.
I could not pass up Ed Hardy “True Love Camisole” 3016 as one of our picks. It is symbolic for how I feel about what I do for women and how Lingerie Fit Expert feels about women who have fought for their life with breast cancer. All three of these items could be worn as an ensemble. Remember, lingerie just like fashion can be mixed and matched. Gal tip of the day: Never Give Up. Trust, believe and have unshakeable faith.
In honor of The Gals – “Thriving Underneath It All” – Wacoal 85121

Wacoal 85121 (click for details)
When I think of Wacoal 85121 I think of one of my friends and clients Dianne Travis-Teague. Diane is a survivor of breast cancer. I met her when I was in retail and she invited me to a significant birthday party. At the event, she talked about how she survived breast cancer. The women in the room had been there to help her through the journey. I was so inspired. We dined on filet mignon at The Ojai Valley Inn compliments of Diane. The most magical part of the evening was when Diane gave everyone a gift for attending with the quote from Maya Angelou, “Surviving is important, but Thriving is Elegant”. I remember thinking I will engrave this in my heart every time I help a woman with a lingerie fitting who has had breast cancer. Diane wore this bra with elegance and she is still thriving today. Gal tip of the day: Uplift a friend with a hug or nice message.
In Honor of The Gals – “Thriving Underneath It All” – TC Camisole 4102
Support, Lift and Shape is my motto for a great fitting bra. I was thrilled when I saw the TC Fine Intimates Camisole 4102. We at LFE love the 444 camisole and now we have a new fit that allows you to have a foam cup that provides modesty and just a little uplift for a shaping solution with impact. I thought of this camisole for our salute to women who are thriving with breast cancer this month. If you had a mastectomy, this would allow you not to worry about a padded insert. The clients of mine who have purchased are raving about the fact that they love wearing fitted sweaters, knit tops and they don’t have to worry about cumbersome lines or seams. On the confidence scale of 1 to 10, we give this one a 10 plus! This is our Gal Pick of The Month. We are giving a percentage of all sales through our website to The Gals in honor of the virtual walk www.galtogalwalk.org
Lingerie Fit Expert Loves The Gal to Gal Virtual Walk! – Kick Off 09
Last year I was so honored to partner with Design Her Gals and their Gal to Gal Foundation in helping to raise awareness and funds for women with stage IV breast cancer. I went to the launch of The Franklin Covey Planner especially designed for the Foundation and I was the winner of the planner! I was elated and felt it was a message to me to be apart of the “plan” to help the organization to help women around the country who have been dealt the hand of breast cancer. This year, I will be donating a percentage from every transaction to the organization. I have helped so many women with bra fit solutions who have been touched with breast cancer. The attitude and desire to live inspires me to be an advocate for women to know that despite the fact that they may have lost a breast, they are beautiful inside and out. “Lingerie Can Change a Woman’s Life” is not just our mantra, it our mission at Lingerie Fit Expert. Most importantly, when you see a woman wear a beautiful lace bra for the first time after surgery, you know that it has changed her life. We are going to celebrate all women this month who have either helped a friend, or who knows someone dealing with breast cancer. Together, we are going to change each other’s lives with positive encouragement and lingerie solutions that inspire, “uplift” and empower. Share this blog with your friends.
