 GROWING UP

For I am fearfully and wonderfully made 

I must say that I have always been fascinated by the vivid array of colors displayed through the lens of nature and God's creation. They say, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so envisioning colors and textures on beautiful fabrics and clothing (even furniture) was something that truly fascinated me.  My intense love for fashion grew when my parents would often plan family roadtrips from our hometown, Albany, NY, to the Fashion Capital of the World, New York City. I truly enjoyed my shopping excursions where I was able to shop/choose fashionable wardrobes for the school year that would 

enhance my look and showcase my unique style.  

​

OFF TO NYC

I believe it was during those times that my passion for style and fashion began to intensify and grow.  I dreamed of one day establishing a clothing boutique which would also encompass me designing a clothing line. With my mind made up, upon graduating from High School, I set my sights on moving to New York City.

​

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Although I did not start my business right away, I would host parties and pop-up shops at my home and in event spaces selling clothing items and accessories to all who would support. Fast forward to today and here we are. What was once a dream, has now become a reality.  I'm sure some of you may have gone through the experience of having a thought or an idea but hesitating to step out for fear of it not being successful. 

​

Because I believed in my dream, today, FloJo NY, an online clothing boutique, is a reality.  Now, the company's name was derived by me co-joining the first names of two very special people in my life, my mother, Flossie and my father, Joseph.  The origin of my name, Flossie, comes from the Latin name Florence which means to flourish and to be prosperous. It is awesome to know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God with a mixed blend of both my parents which makes me a truly unique individual.
