Hello! Welcome to the Totally Tori Blog!! Im so happy you’re here!
My name is Victoria Hir, I go by Tori for short!
I thought that it would only be appropriate to start off my blog by telling y’all a little bit about me!
I am 21 years old and currently studying speech pathology in hopes of becoming a speech therapist! I am a F.R.I.E.N.D.S addict. I love the color pink and all things ice cream! give me all the toppings! lol where my ice-cream fans at? haha!
I grew up being the middle child of four kids…..lol my siblings think I have ” middle child syndrome” but I beg to differ! I have an older brother, and twin siblings, and a dog! My parents are divorced so my dad is not pictured but we all got his eyes except for my little sister. lol
I am a dog mom! Her name is Maddie! she’s a jack Russell terrier! We adopted her about 4 years ago! She is the love of my life! I plan on doing a whole blog post on her adoption! so stay tuned for that!
So y’all are probably wondering what got me into fashion…. well I have always loved getting dressed up, and really enjoyed wearing a dress! lol I would dress up for school or whenever I could get chance! but it wasn’t until about a year ago when I realized I had found a new passion of mine. I realized I had a Passion for Fashion.
So here’s my story….
About two years ago, I was in car accident that changed my life completely. I became very sick after, I was going doctors appointments, doing all kinds of testing and blood work. I even dropped out of school and move home from Michigan (that’s where I was attending school at the time), to try to figure out what was going on.
In March of 2017I was diagnosed with Dysautonomia and then two months after, I was diagnosed with Mixed connective Tissue Disease. I began physical therapy and medication to treat both disease’s. Thankfully we have gotten both diseases to the point that they are manageable.
I had pretty much everything taken away form me, my hobbies, passions, friends back at school, my sorority sisters, and my happiness. I did deal with some depression and PTSD during all of this. One of the things that did make me happy was looking at outfit inspiration for when I did feel better and could actually have the energy to get myself ready. I looked forward to that day. It was hard for me to adjust all the changes I had to make in my life and dreaming about the day I didn’t have to stay in my pajamas all day made things seem not so bad.
I was given many blessings out of all of this. I got to meet the love of my life, I found my best friend, I became super close with my family. I also found my love for fashion.
Once I became well enough to start doing things. ( and gained back healthy weight) I got a job at a boutique and got to put outfits together and wear cute clothes……every girls dream!!!! I began to get excited about clothes and trying new things! I gained a lot of my confidence back and starting finding my true self again!
Whether you’re here because your a family member, a friend, went through something similar or just love fashion, I am so happy you are here!
I am so excited to be starting this journey with y’all and cannot wait to see where it will take me! It means the world that you are here reading this right now!
