I don’t even need a luncheon to encourage me to wear red, but in case you do, I’ve got a suggestion.

American Heart Association’s annual Tarrant County Go Red for Women Luncheon has been set for Feb. 25th at the Omni Hotel Fort Worth. What to wear? Red, of course!

Co-chairs are Michelle Marlow and Sandra Tuomey. Save-the-date cards went out this week on beautiful sparkly white paper, accented in red and a little something extra. Attached to the back was a temporary heart tattoo with the suggestion to “wear it with pride.”

So my guess is that on Feb. 25th, we’ll have lots of lovely ladies sporting red frocks and a well-placed tattoo.
