GET TO KNOW THE OWNER

 

Hi everyone and welcome to Dear Sammy! Creating my own business and opening my own store has been my dream since I was a freshmen in college and I finally put action into my dreams and made it come true! Let's start from the beginning on how I got to this point in my life.

My whole life I wanted to be a college football broadcaster on ESPN. My whole life revolved around UGA football and just football in general. I was scared and timid to be in the industry of television because I wear my heart on my sleeves. I did not want to have to hear people tell me something was wrong with me and my appearance. I prayed to God everyday to show me the path of life he wanted me to go down... little did I know, he was setting me up for something great!

I always loved fashion and clothes and the latest trends that were currently happening and trends that were on the rise of happening. I got a job at Buckle right out of high school and started to let my creative fashion juices flow, but still being scared of what people would think. Let's just say, Buckle wasn't my speed of fashion and I did not like working in the mall.

Fast forward a couple of years later and I got the best job working at fab'rik Augusta were I was apart of so many cool things happening in the fashion industry. I got to be apart of fashion shows, merchandising the store, ordering for the store, being the top sales employee and hitting my goal every month because I truly loved making people feel good about themselves and confident in clothes.

I was always the girl in the group that had to be the best dressed. oops!! :) That is where stylesbysummer.blog happened and it is still happening! Fashion is such a huge part of my life and I want to be able to express my passion to everyone on all platforms. 

I graduated college, moved to atlanta, and became a fashion brand rep at a fashion showroom. Truly my dream job and an incredible experience and some of the best 3 1/2 years of my life. I traveled to New York and Vegas multiple times a year for trade shows to see upcoming trends and got to live out my dream of being right up close and personal to designers and the fashion industry.

Life took a turn I wasn't expecting but damn am I happy God let it. Living in Florida with the best boyfriend in the world, the most amazing friends & family that support me and the best job working at Dress The Population! All I have to say is follow your dreams baby, you never know were life will take you <3
