I lived in a world of vivid colors. The ones I created with my Crayola Crayons and Markers. I held my first Bible when I was 8, Vouge. I haven't looked back since. When given my first Fashion Magazine by my older sister, I ripped out all the pages and made collages out of the outfits I liked. I designed ball gowns for Prom girls and the First Lady, Laura Bush.
Then High School hit. And it hit hard. The world of vivid colors suddenly turned to Chaos and Mania. Head spinning and colors fading, I slowly began to see the world in black and white. But then their was one thing that brought the color back into my world, one thing that I could control out of the mess. And that was my outfits. Every month I got a copy of InStyle Magazine and it would inspire me to make the world a prettier place. I knew that no matter what occurred in my life, I could still look and dress beautifully, and that alone is what kept me alive. I kept A Style Diary of every outfit I wore, and when old enough to drive, I would sneak off after school to go thrifting for luxurious finds. After being diagnosed as practically mad, I worked even harder to keep my clothes beautiful. It was all that was there for me when the world seemed to be falling apart. Little did I know that things would get much better....MUCH better...
I now am happily Married with one little furry child named Merlin and am starting my career as a fashion stylist. I always knew my love for fashion would get me somewhere, despite the discouragement I received from my first Fashion Design Professor. Please stay tuned for many more adventures.
