Hey y’all, Whitney here! I am a project manager hailing from Birmingham, Alabama in the construction industry. I have two wonderful bearded men in my life: my wonderful husband, Mick, and our fur baby, a mini schnauzer named Capote. I love my day job, but it’s definitely a man’s world, and I am about as passionate as they come about clothing trends and fashion.
Before I was in this field, I studied English and received my undergrad and Master’s degrees at Mississippi State University, moonlighting as a copy editor on the side. I loved editing, but it wasn’t a steady income, and I was completely burned out from all of the research papers. Fast forward a few years and enter The Bougie Builder: a mix between my work life of commercial and residential projects and my love for all things fashion, home, and travel. I love finding things on a budget that look like a million bucks, but I also have weakness for designer splurges every now and then. I hope you all enjoy!
