Dress-up, Circa 1983

Circa 1983…strutting around the house in an eclectic mix of papa’s cowboy hats + winter down vests when I wasn’t dripping in mom’s pearls amongst other vintage treasures. A little tomboy turned fashionista. A fashionista destined for a career in the arts, yet somehow taking a different path all together…

Twelve months ago, it was time for drastic change. There is something to be said when you tell people what you do for a living and they laugh. Every time. It was not the reaction that bothered me, it was that I agreed. Every time. A long overdue risk, a freeing decision. The beginning of Midwest Couture…a vital creative outlet while in career transition. A year of the most difficult and heartbreaking decisions. A year of self-discovery and amazing opportunities bringing me to this very moment. No regrets. A celebration.

Thank you to my family for always embracing my creativity – actually relieved to see me returning to the arts vs. analytics. Thank you to my friends for your support, your encouragement and your praise. And thank you to my social media family…how you inspire.
