Rock the Red Pump!
We love the Red Pump Project! The campaign’s purpose is to increase awareness and to facilitate a discussion about women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the United States. The Rock the Red Pump campaign asks women to wear red pumps on March 9th and 10th in observance of National Women & Girls’ HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
We’ve found some rad reds that will look as gorgeous on your toes as the beauty of your big red heart. Check your Salemail for Shop It To Me’s red pump flash sale on March 8-10th. Have a picture of you wearing red pumps? Email it to trendsetters@shopittome.com and you could be featured on our blog this week!
