What motivates you? The hunt. I am always on the hunt for the latest and
greatest. I love searching for what’s on trend at our Dress & Dwell fast fashion
price point. I’m always on the hunt! From market to travel. I absolutely love
market as well as sourcing and finding new brands when I travel. I am very
interested in traveling and what else is going on in the fashion world that isn’t
what I am most familiar with. I’m currently in France scouting boutiques
and finding new brands as well as antique buying with my husband for his
business and buying displays for Dress & Dwell.
What is the biggest professional risk you have taken? If you’re an
entrepreneur you are definitely more of a risk taker because as a small
business owner, you aren’t guaranteed anything. I’ve taken my fair share
of risk over the eight years we’ve been in business, but I believe in steady
growth that’s good for both Dress & Dwell and my family. Steady growth
has helped us build a strong brand, which has its own difficulties. As you
grow, you are challenged to learn new things that maybe isn’t your what
you are accustomed to and familiar with and that within itself can be risky.
What’s the most rewarding thing about what you do for a living? It’s a
two part answer: It’s wonderful to help women feel great through fashion and
enjoy an experience that makes them feel joy. I also love mentoring my team,
seeing them grow and the relationships that cultivate through our business.
