What’s Your Top Three Faves About Yourself, You Marvelous Human?
Who am I, you ask? Well, I’m just a human navigating the wild rollercoaster of life—learning, tripping, and occasionally sticking the landing. My journey’s got its fair share of highs, lows, and the occasional “what was I thinking?” moments, all of which have shaped who I am and who I’m still becoming. Along the way, I’m diving headfirst into my passions, sorting through my values, and uncovering new layers of myself (like a human onion, but way more fun). Spoiler alert: I’m still figuring out this whole “finding my place in the world” thing, but hey, that’s half the adventure!
Mother of Three
“Mother” means awesome, beautiful, cool, loving, and protective, embodying the essence of unconditional love and endless patience, a guide and a friend who stands by you through thick and thin, nurturing your dreams and supporting you in every step of your journey, always offering a comforting hug when you need it the most.
Wife
Someone who is willingly with you even in your worst days, someone who encourages you, takes care of you, and starts a new life with you. Your wife is someone who will love you and whom you will love, the whole of them, even their darkest and ugliest parts. It is a vow to always be with each other, standing together in the face of trials and tribulations. She becomes your partner in crime, your confidante, and your best friend, sharing in both your triumphs and your failures. With her, you build not just a home but a sanctuary where both of you feel safe and cherished. This partnership transforms ordinary moments into special memories, weaving the tapestry of your shared life. It is a relationship founded on trust, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment that defies the test of time.
Fashionista
A woman with a penchant for shopping and a natural flair for combining both current and vintage fashionable trends, she spends her weekends scouring boutiques and thrift stores alike. Her wardrobe is a carefully curated collection reflecting her sharp sense of style, where retro patterns meet contemporary cuts to create a unique, timeless aesthetic. Her friends often seek her advice for their own fashion dilemmas, knowing she has an eye for pieces that stand out yet complement their personal tastes. Whether it’s finding the perfect accessory or tailoring an outfit to perfection, her skills in fashion are unparalleled.
Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. I’ve walked some fun runways, filmed some great commercials and done some pretty crazy things to get through a show! Whether it be duct-tape hemming, paperclip tailoring or Band-Aid customization, I’ve probably given it a whirl at least once!
But then, motherhood took the wheel and I gained a whole other set of goodies to add to my bag of tricks! I never lost my love for music and fashion and I quickly found myself designing and creating clothes, stage-wear and costumes of all sorts for my mini-me’s and their friends.
Gaining a reputation for my personal style and a name for my creative “Dorey flare”, I was asked to begin working with artists, styling and managing their careers and things have snow-balled from there! I still have my love for art, fashion and music and now that my mini-me’s aren’t so mini anymore I, again, have time to concentrate my energies into pulling myself out of the “mommy mode” to which I have become so accustomed.
I know I’m not alone out here! I’m willing to wager there’s plenty more of us working to pull ourselves out of mommy or daddy mode and reclaim the spirit and spunk we once exuded before parenthood taught us to put the kids first. Life has happened and, let’s face it, many of us (myself included) don’t see the same person we used to see looking back at us from the mirror. For me, I’ve experienced health issues, gained weight, grown gray hair, developed wrinkles and lost more than my fair share of cat-like-reflexes, but “I” am still inside here underneath it all. I may need fancy glasses to see to put it on, but you can bet your bottom dollar I’m still going to rock my make-up, style and clothing the way I like it. I’m going to get out of the mindset that I’m somebody’s mother and get into the mindset that I am somebody, period. No further designation is necessary.
So, come on! I’m inviting you to take this journey along with me as I start the path to reclaiming myself from mommy mode and exploring what life in my 40’s should look like. We’ll take a closer look – together. I hope you’ll join me.
