Hello and Welcome!

Who is Sigourneyb?

I am someone who tried to run from her calling for far too long, Ill elaborate. I have always loved fashion. Sometimes I look at fashion shows and magazines and the images give me chills. It has always been more to me than designers and expensive clothing. I truly believe that fashion is in the heart. My mom was a lover of fashion too. Growing up we couldn’t afford a lot of expensive clothes, but she always made sure I was “presentable”. Looking back she kept me pretty fly. I would always get complements on my outfits as a child. Over the years I realized that it was my mom and these compliments that helped me realize its not who you wear, it’s how you wear it.

My infatuation with clothing and everything style aided in my decision to make fashion a major part of my life. After high school I attended Marymount University and majored in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in Business Administration. After college I worked a slew of retail jobs and then took up a career in Health Insurance of all things.

The lack of creative stimulation wore on me heavy, yet I managed to work in insurance for three years. Why? You ask. Well, because of fear. Working there was safe. It was what people around me did, it was what my family always did. No one in my family pursued creative careers, nonetheless moved away to do so. Even a lot of my classmates settled into noncreative careers after college. Along with that I feared moving fare from home, not being about to support myself, losing the tangible things I had worked so hard to possess. But believe it or not there are forces on earth more powerful than fear. I would come to realize that soonish.

While working in insurance there were many days, I felt trapped. Like there was no way out of the position I had gotten myself into after not using my fashion degree for almost 4 year. Good thing I’m not in command of this thing called life. One day while at work God said to me “Move to New York” so I did just that. As a result of me listening to a power much greater than myself or fear I am writing this blog post today as a 27-year-old, fashion copywriter who resides in Brooklyn, New York.

That brings me to the end of this blog post but the beginning of a journey that I am excited to embark on and happy to share with all of you.
