Blogiversary: 3 years ago today, Fabulously Overdressed was born!

I have always loved writing and have always loved style, but it wasn’t until my sister convinced me to start a blog in 2017 that I actually put those two interests together. I started my blog by googling, “how to start a blog,” and read as much as I possibly could on other fashion blogger’s sites in order to start building mine. Once I launched my site on March 9, 2017, I was so proud of it! Now I look back at my first design and shake my head! We all start from somewhere, right?

I’ve since updated my website and made it look more professional (with help). I love my website but I also know there is always room for improvement. Who knows, it could look completely different for my 6th blogiversary!

In honor of my 3rd Blogiversary, I thought I’d share with you 5 fun facts you may not know about me, and hold a GIVEAWAY for my followers! Woohoo! The giveaway is super simple to enter- instructions are below.

Blogiversary: 5 Fun Facts About Me

1. I’m an extrovert and an introvert. I love being with people and socializing and talking, yet I also love being alone. I need a good balance to be most content.

2. One of my jobs in high school was as a phone psychic. Yep, you read that right. I was 17 years old and pretending I was reading people’s tarot cards over the phone. It was all a script! It actually made me really uncomfortable. I didn’t stay there long!

3. I changed my major 3 times in college. First, I was an English major because I wanted to be a writer. But the classes were so boring! So I changed to Communication, but because everyone wanted to be a Communication major, you had to be accepted into the program. And then I didn’t get in! I was a junior at this point and panicked. I had taken a couple of psychology classes and really enjoyed them so I decided to declare my major as Psychology, without any future plans in place. And that is why I am now in social work!

4. I never wanted children. Don’t get me wrong, I love kids and I absolutely adore my nieces and nephew, but I have never had that so-called biological clock ticking. When I was a teen and into my 20s, everyone said I would change my mind. I went through periods of thinking I should have a child, and seriously considered it when my first niece was born 14 years ago because I loved her immediately so much, but just never went through with it. Now that I’m older and know that it’s likely never going to happen, sometimes I wonder if I’ll regret it later in life. I could go on and on about this struggle as a woman, but I think that’s a whole blog post in itself! Stay tuned for that one!

5. I live in Florida, the flip flop capital, yet I will only wear flip flops to the beach or to yoga. Rubber flip flops are the worst! Some people wear them to work, and I just can’t deal! I love a great sandal in the summer, but just say no to flippity floppities!
