Here at Socialfly, we love working with influencers every day. Not only do we get to collaborate with hundreds of talented tastemakers, but we are also always motivated by their entrepreneurial spirit! Today we caught up with Caitlyn from How Do You Wear That. With over 110,000 followers on Instagram, a unique sense of style, and a savvy sense for business, she is truly an inspiration for all aspiring digital influencers. We asked her a few of our burning questions:

How did you decide to make the jump into being a full-time influencer?

It honestly came down to literally not having enough time in the day and brain power to accomplish all my tasks that needed to get done in addition to the fact that the blog was bringing in more income than my full-time job. Although it was scary and very daunting, that is when I decided to take the leap of faith of quitting my full-time job in marketing and transition into being a full-time influencer and I haven’t looked back since!

In my next life, I secretly want to work in the CIA or as an intelligence case officer like Carrie from Homeland…

What’s something you never leave home without?

My portable charger! 

Do you have any tips to share with fellow bloggers about making connections with brands?

Be yourself and be nice! It is also important to continue to stay in touch with all the great connections you have made as well.

What would be your dream brand to collaborate with?

Zimmerman…or Dior!
