meet the fashionista

The day has finally come for this little outlet to become public! I have been dreaming about starting a blog since I was in college and now here we are five years later!

There were a number of reasons that I didn’t do this sooner and a lot of them were insecurities. I was insecure about what people would think or if they would look at me differently. After giving this a lot of thought, I decided that if this was something that I really wanted to do then I owed it to myself to bite the bullet. Who cares what other people think? This is a place that I can finally show my creative side and do something that brings me joy. If someone that I am close with isn’t okay with that or is negative towards it, then I probably don’t need that person in my life anyways. I want to always be surrounded by people who will lift me up and encourage me.

why the football fashionista?

Two and a half years ago I took on the challenge of marrying a football coach. I say challenge with all the love in my heart. So I am what you call a coach’s wife. If you are in this business, you know that most times your husband is at work. He is gone before the kids are awake and gets home after they are asleep. As time goes on, I will explain more of what it is like being a coach’s wife and how affects our lifestyle.

My love for fashion is obvious. Is it New York Fashion Week fashion? No. But it is my own style that I love to get creative with. My style might not be for everyone but it is something that I want to share with others that can maybe help them recreate their wardrobe or just help them snag a good deal.

so what can you expect?

My goal is to share a little bit of everything. Blogging has the reputation of only showing the “perfect lifestyle.” Well let me be the first to tell you that is not what you will come here to find. I will share the ups and downs of our everyday life. You will see fashion posts, lifestyle posts, and everything in between. I will also talk about the lifestyle we live as a coaching family. I never thought in a million years that I would exuberate the love that I have for my husband’s job. As a coach’s wife, I am just as invested as he is and nothing makes me prouder than watching him on the field doing what he loves.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by and supporting my dream! Take a look around and make yourself at home! Leave a comment and let me know what you think or what you want to see more of. You can find more of the football fashionista on facebook, twitter, and instagram! Get excited because this is just the beginning!
