About me!
My fashion origin story:
Like many others, I had no idea what I was doing in Highschool. I spent so much time worrying about the future and what people expected me to become that I didn't think about what I wanted. I convinced myself that I would go to a state school and get a degree in something conventional like education and go on my merry way. I began applying to said schools and the pressure to do so built up to the point where I needed to lean on coping mechanisms to manage that anxiety. I would go home every day and revert to creative activities to blow off steam. I spent countless hours sewing and drawing new clothing ideas but somehow still had -no clue- what kind of future was right for me. I started to make my own dresses for school dances, then I made clothes for my sister, then sewed scrunchies for my friends and made decorations for my mom, and so on. I eventually understood what kind of impact I had made with things I considered to be hobbies at the time. I realized not all 9-year-olds beg their moms to learn how to sew (especially when the mom doesn't know how to sew, go mom thanks for learning for me). I realized that picking out an outfit for the day is what got me out of bed in the morning. I realized that fashion had always been a part of my life, even if I wasn't paying attention to it. So, I applied to fashion school and that's easily the best decision I've made.
