National wear red day was Feb 3, 2012. The American Heart Association wants to uncover the truth about heart disease. More women die of heart disease than the next three causes of death combined including all forms of cancer. The Red Heart Dresses were photographed when I walked to my Village to have breakfast.
Thank you to the Our World hosts.
Wishing YOU well and a JOY filled week.

I didn't know Feb. 3rd was such a special day. I love those dresses!
It is a great idea. The only fear I would have would be in those countries where red represents a certain perspective for example Thailand that has factions of red shirts and yellow shirts.
I've never heard about "wear red day"
Like Lara over here says; a nice way of raising awareness!
And a perfect picture for the challenge -"Our World"
Thank you so much for stoping by at my blog!

This is an interesting sculpture. I don't know if we have wear red day in Kenya.
Important info for Our World
Missed this, but love these dresses, yes stats have changed and women need to be more aware. Thanks for the reminder. xox Corrine
How I wish I knew. I would have worn red!
My husband was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in July. The dr. feels he may have this CHF because of a virus. This is all so strange to me watching his diet, salt and liquid intake. We are young too. It has all been quite a shock! he is doing better now that he has a pacemaker. It's amazing how your life can change in a blink of an eye.
Great Photos by the way. :)
Neat shots, and it does seem like a good way to raise awareness.
Thanks for this posting awareness ...The red dress with the heart is brilliant idea too !!! ... Hugs
I love it. Great shots.
Thoise red dress stakes are a fun way to remind women to check on their heart health and to know the signs of a heart attack!
Sorry, I didn't know that, thanks for information.

I didn't know about the day but warning is great for us especially in winter. The design that is cut out a heart shape in red dress appeal well.
I have never heard of this day! But I agree with all the other bloggers that this is a great idea to draw the attention to this awful disease.
Thank you!
