Hi guys! This is my first blog so; I guess I will take the time to introduce myself. Originally from upstate NY I relocated to Charleston, SC a year ago bringing a BFA in Fashion Design with me. Since my wonderful, nerve-racking, sometimes scary transition from college to the grown-up ADULT world I can proudly say I have had some pretty awesome opportunities along the way. Working in wedding dress design, beach and resort wear design (http://www.escapadaliving.com) and becoming a founder of my own styling company "Style Me Pretty" (http://www.facebook.com/StyleMePretty.Charleston). Through out the past year I've been blessed for the people who have come into my life. These people have molded, and helped me get to where I am today (right now sitting on my little white couch, reminiscing with a cup of coffee) ;) Packing up everything into my little white Toyota the day after I graduated from Cazenovia College I had a completely different mind set of what my life would entail, in the city where I had always dreamed of being-Charleston. Sitting here now, I can tell you growing up and venturing off-especially doing it alone is scary as hell-yet, it is such an achieving feeling. If you asked me today "Caitlin has all your hard work paid off? Are you happy?" Happy is a definite yes. No matter what my dreams, goals, ambitions I have planned for in five, ten or twenty years the uphill work will always be there. So the hard work? Slowly, is my answer I have for you right now. My story may be working with a team of wonderful people designing, giving myself a name here in this extraordinary little city. I will never rule out even traveling and teaching kids fashion studies such as illustration.. or leaving Charleston for some other adventure of reasoning. I am starting to finally see doors open and at the same time I need to be aware of what doors I need to close to succeed. I am coming to find this may be the scariest part yet-chance.
