“The first step
toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in
which you first find yourself.”-Mark Caine.
My name is Sharita L Conley and
I just so happen to find myself in Anchorage, Alaska, actually,
this is where I’ve always been. When most people think of Alaska they think of
fishing, igloos, “The Deadliest Catch”, living in a winter wonderland,
etcetera, etcetera. But I am far from the typical Alaskan. I don’t do the
wilderness, I don’t have the patience for fishing, and winter is FAR from my
favorite season. Not to badger this
place I call home but being “one with the earth” is not really my thing. What
is my thing, you’re probably wondering. My thing is fashion. Every last ounce
of it, I love fashion. Growing up I have found it quite difficult to have a
“thing” such as fashion here in Anchorage. One reason is because we are
considered “America’s least stylish city” and the other is that I just so
happen to be <fill in the blank with a word that means fat>. (You can
choose from such words as; big boned, plump, plus size, large, full figured,
thick, or you can call me husky (whatever that means). But you get it, it’s
hard to be fashionable when there aren’t many places to shop and when you do
find a place to shop, have fun looking for my size…. 
Since then, things have changed. I have evolved and so has
the fashion industry. This is where The
907 Strut comes in. This is not your ordinary fashion blog; in fact,
this will be MORE than a fashion blog. I plan to bring you the latest trends
from local and online boutiques, tutorials from makeup artists, connect you
with the BEST hairstylist, try to live a healthier lifestyle and at the same
time live in Alaska and try some “Alaskan things”. Why? Because this is what
I’m supposed to do. “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.” So that’s what I’m doing, shining and
whatnot. Just sprinkling the world with glitter and sunshine; bedazzling life
one step at a time. This is my journey from where I am now to where I am
supposed to be. Join me as I dress up like I have somewhere to go, eat like
calories are cool points, and chit chat about what life has to offer. I’m
bringing you FASHION FROM ALASKANS and much more! I’d like to welcome you to The 907 Strut.
