One essential is the white button-up blouse — crisp, clean, and endlessly adaptable for both formal meetings and casual office days. Layering is crucial, add in a neutral cable-knit cardigan for both warmth and style. Whether draped over your shoulders or worn buttoned as a top, it brings softness to structured outfits. This piece becomes even more useful when expanded into seasonal colorways, such as burgundy, forest green, or navy for fall, as the pop of color allows you to express your personal style while staying workplace appropriate. Pair that cardigan with a sharp blazer and matching trousers to lay the groundwork for a look that means business. Skip the standard black and opt for grey or navy — still polished, just with a little more personality. Swap in a highneck knit top for a chic twist on the classic blouse — it’s sleek, flattering, and perfect under layers without adding bulk.

Now for the fun part: accessories. Black kitten heels are the holy grail of comfort-meets-style, while knee-high boots bring bold energy to cooler days (especially under skirts or wide-leg pants). Cinch it all together with a statement belt, and finish with subtle sparkle — minimal gold hoops, a delicate chain, or that powerwatch you actually love checking. Just like that, your closet’s gone from basic to boardroom bombshell.

Now that you have the basics down, the fun begins. You can experiment with your personal style through trendy takes that will have your work bestie saying, “YOU LOOK SO CUTE,” and the Boomer down the hall asking when they started letting people wear pajamas to work.

Whether it’s playing with unexpected textures, layering bold accessories, or mixing classic tailoring with street-style influence, there’s plenty of room to express who you are — even in a corporate setting. A solid foundation makes it easier (and more fun) to take risks, embrace new trends, and curate a wardrobe that evolves with your career and your personality.

Some ideas to consider in your workwear rotation include pleated satin pants — chic, flowy, and surprisingly versatile when paired with a crisp blouse or a structured blazer. Add an oversized blazer to make a statement while still looking put together. To really wow your team, show pops of your personality with animal print shoes, belts, or handbags for a bold but office-appropriate touch.

Push the envelope further with tailored shorts outfitted off knee high boots to bring a modern twist to your professional wardrobe. Speaking of boots, cowboy boots, once strictly Western, are now a stylish wildcard that can ground a minimalist look or add edge under a midi skirt. Don’t underestimate the power of a fun print in a skirt or dress, and layered under a blazer — it’s the perfect mix of playful and polished.

With the right mix of trends and timeless staples, your work wardrobe won’t just meet the dress code — it’ll rewrite it, turn heads in the hallway, and leave your office wondering when you became the best-dressed girl boss in the building.

HUSTLE brave enough to recalibrate instead of running

Pausing doesn’t mean quitting. It means you're on empty. It means trusting that slowing down

Ambition is a beautiful thing, as it’s the fire that pushes us to dream big, crush goals, and create lives we’re proud of. But in a world that often applauds hustle over healing and progress over presence, how do we stay true to ourselves while chasing our dreams?

From social media highlight reels to the glorification of “grind culture,” women today are bombarded with messages that equate success with exhaustion. We’re told to hustle harder, stay booked and busy, and never let them see us sweat.

can be strategic. So how do we bring more authenticity into our hustle? Here are a few reminders, to keep you on track.

Own your story. Your journey won’t look like anyone else’s— and that’s your superpower. Share your path, your pivots, and your passions without shame.

Say “NO” when needed. Not every opportunity is your opportunity. Boundaries protect your peace and preserve your purpose.

But here’s the truth, not all hustle is healthy. And if we’re not careful, we can lose ourselves in the pursuit of someone else’s definition of success. Balancing ambition with authenticity isn’t about slowing down your drive—it’s about tuning into your values, your voice, and your version of what success looks like.

Authentic ambition doesn’t chase approval it chases purpose. It asks deeper questions: What am I building, and why? Does this goal align with my values or just my ego? Am I showing up as my true self, or am I performing to fit in? When you redefine the hustle on your terms, your work becomes more than a to-do list it becomes a reflection of your truth.

Rest is not the enemy of ambition; it’s the fuel. Taking a step back to breathe, reflect, and realign is one of the most powerful moves you can make.

Lead with values. Let your decisions be guided by who you are, not just where you want to go.

Celebrate small wins. Progress isn’t always loud. Honor the quiet victories—the emails sent, the courage mustered up despite fear, the boundaries set.

You don’t have to choose between being driven and being grounded. You can be both powerful and peaceful, both a boss and a work-inprogress. The most magnetic women are those who lead with both ambition and authenticity— because they know success is sweetest when it’s real.

So here’s to the women who show up, without losing themselves. Your hustle is valid. Your truth is enough. And your path? It’s yours to define.

Politics vs. Civics — What’s the Diff? You’ve probably heard people talk about being Republican or Democrat. That’s politics —your party, your beliefs, your vibe. But civics? That’s where the real action happens. Civics is how you interact with your government and community. It’s the how behind the what you care about. Politics = What you believe.

That’s where the real action happens. Civics is how you interact with your government and community. It’s the how behind the what you care about.

Politics = What you believe.

Civics = What you do about it.

Knowing your political affiliation is fine—but it doesn’t mean much if you’re not actively involved. Want change? Civics is your superpower.

Get Involved. Start With What Moves You Love fashion? Health? The environment? Education? There’s policy behind everything.

Into fashion? Learn how import taxes and labor laws affect your favorite brands. Passionate about mental health? Research how funding for public health is decided. Care about college costs or student loans? Yep—that’s a policy issue, too.

Your platform is powerful. Share resources, promote voting deadlines, and start conversations.

Easy Ways to Be Civically Engaged It’s simple, and no suit required...

Register to Vote Sounds simple—but this is step one. Head to Vote.org and make sure you’re registered.

Know Your Elected Officials Who’s your mayor? County Judge? Congresswoman? A quick Google search can tell you. Follow them on socials. DM them. Email them. They work for you.

Stay Informed, Not Overwhelmed Knowledge = confidence.

Show Up Attend local city council meeting or go to school board meetings. These are the places where your voice has big impact.

Volunteer or Intern Political campaigns, nonprofits, and advocacy groups always need help. Bonus: it looks amazing on your resume.

Use Your Social Media Platform Whether it’s 20 followers or 20K—your platform is powerful.

Civic engagement isn’t just for the political science majors or future senators. It’s for you. You care. You’re smart. You’ve got something to say. And most importantly—you have the power to make a difference.

Staying Healthy on the Road By Abbie Stockard, Miss America 2025

Move Daily

My days are usually packed with events and appearances, but I’ve learned that carving out 30 minutes to move my body makes a huge difference in how I feel - physically and mentally. Sometimes it’s a simple walk on the treadmill to clear my head, and other times, if I have a little more time, I love doing a quick strength

Prioritize Protein & Take Your Vitamins

Constant travel and jumping definitely wear on my immune system and energy levels. That’s why I’ve made highprotein meals and snacks a priority. I’ve noticed such a big difference - not just in how energized I feel, but in how strong and steady I stay throughout the day. At this point, it’s pretty much a guarantee that you’ll see me walking through the airport with a protein shake in hand. It’s one of my travel must-haves!

Stay Hydrated

With all the travel and appearances, it’s easy to forget the basics—like drinking enough water. But staying hydrated has made a huge difference in my energy, skin, and overall wellness. I always keep a water bottle with me on the go, and I aim to sip throughout the day—even during long flights or back-to-back events.

Stick to a Sleep Routine: Late nights are definitely tempting especially when I’m catching up on messages, scrolling through social media, or winding down after a long day of appearances. But I’ve realized that sacrificing sleep quickly takes a toll on my disciplined about setting a bedtime and sticking to it, aiming for 7-9 hours of rest each night. When I prioritize sleep, I wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on a full day.

When I prioritize sleep, I wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on a full day.

Protect Your Peace

One of the most meaningful habits I’ve developed this year is giving myself at least 30 minutes each morning for quiet time. Whether that’s journaling, reading, praying, or just sitting in stillness, it helps me ground myself and mentally prepare for whatever the day holds. It’s so easy to wake up and jump right into a busy schedule, but I’ve learned that I show up as my best self when I take time to center my heart first. On days when I can, I love to pair that time with a long, peaceful walk - especially when I’m in a safe area. It’s one of my favorite ways to reset, and just breathe. That time has become essential to my well-being and a reminder that taking care of myself mentally is just as important as anything else on my schedule.

Prioritizing my health on the road hasn’t always been easy. Some days it feels like there just aren’t enough hours. But I’ve learned that when I take the time to care for my body, mind, and spirit, I feel more grounded, more present, and more capable of being intentional with others. This year has taught me that health isn’t just about checking off boxes - it’s about creating habits that help me feel my best, even in the busiest seasons. At the end of the day, that’s what this journey is all about: being the best version of myself so I can give my best to those around me.

Dear Younger Me, You’re stepping into your first big role — and I see you, trying to figure out what to wear that sayshire mewithout sayinghelp me. As a CEO juggling a million priorities, let me tell you this: you can't be out here building your future while your wardrobe is still sleeping on your style. Wake it up — and make it work for you. You just need a little strategy.

"This isn’t just about dressing for a job — it’s about dressing for the woman you are manifesting."

Where to start? A good first impression is the foundation. You’ll find style and structure in basic pieces are best, For that you might consider Aritziaas your new secret weapon. Their clean lines, sleek silhouettes, and structured basics will have you looking like you run the room — even if you're just taking notes.

Abercrombie & Fitchhas totally reinvented itself, and their wide-leg pants, bodysuits, and neutral-toned sets are perfect for nailing that casual-but-capable energy. Trust me, their stuff fits like it was made just for you.

And don’t sleep onH&M. Their blazers and midi dresses can be major power moves when styled right.Ralph Lauren Poloalso deserves a spot in your closet — think timeless button-ups, tailored trousers, and leather goods that feel luxe without screaming for attention. Some of those investment classics from a decade ago? Still in my closet — perfectly worn and vibing full 'old money' energy, and always on repeat.

Out with the old, in with elevated...let go of the pieces that scream “cramming in the library” instead of “commanding the conference room.” Goodbye to crop tops, frayed denim, and anything you’re still emotionally attached to from sophomore year.

The take away? Style isn’t about labels. It’s about energy. Show up in what makes you feel confident, competent, and creative. Because every meeting, every coffee chat, every random elevator run-in — it’s all part of your story. So if you’re wondering what to wear, start with this: wear what reminds you of who you’re becoming. That’s always the right choice.

HER Story Turning Flowers - and Dreams - Into a Thriving Business

What if a single bouquet of flowers could change your life? For Andrea Cole, that’s exactly what happened. In 2016, a simple Valentine’s Day gift from her then-boyfriend (now husband) ignited a spark—not just romantically, but professionally. That bouquet wasn’t tossed a few days later. Instead, it became the seed of something extraordinary: a bold business that now touches thousands of lives across the country.

Andrea is the founder of dbandrea®, the nation’s leading flower preservation studio. But more than that, she’s a modern woman building a business on her own terms—where passion meets precision, and creativity is the currency of growth.

A Love Story Becomes a Business Story It didn’t start with a business plan. It started with curiosity, a glue gun, and a vision to preserve something beautiful. Andrea taught herself the intricate art of flower preservation —then mastered it. What began as a personal project soon blossomed into a full-fledged enterprise.

Today, her company invests over 30 hours of handcrafted work into each order, transforming once-in-a-lifetime floral arrangements—from weddings, pageants, and memorials—into timeless keepsakes. Each piece is a blend of science, artistry, and heart.

Andrea didn’t stop at creating beautiful art— she built a powerhouse brand around it. At dbandrea®, she leads a team of artisans, marketers, and client specialists who mirror her commitment to excellence. And she does it all while maintaining a distinct brand voice rooted in elegance, legacy, and love.

As if that weren’t enough, Andrea also serves as Director of Marketing and Communications for the WIPA (Wedding International Professionals Association) Dallas-Fort Worth chapter, where she mentors others and fosters collaboration in the events industry.

She’s redefined what it means to be a founder, showing that entrepreneurship can be deeply personal, purpose-driven, and powerfully feminine. In a world that often urges women to play it safe, Andrea chose to build a brand from love, lead with authenticity, and scale with integrity. Her journey is a masterclass in how to turn meaning into momentum.

In a world that often urges women to play it safe, Andrea chose to build a brand from love, lead with authenticity, and scale with integrity. Her journey is a masterclass in how to turn meaning into momentum.

Final Petal of Wisdom Andrea Cole didn’t just preserve a bouquet— she preserved a moment, a memory, and a movement. Her company, dbandrea®, stands as a reminder to all that the most powerful businesses aren’t always born in a boardroom. Sometimes, they bloom in living rooms, sparked by heart—and led by women who dare to dream.

Why Andrea’s Story Matters Women are often told to “stay in their lane,” Andrea forged her own path. Her story is a blueprint for anyone who’s wondered if they could turn a creative spark into a sustainable, scalable brand.

She didn’t raise venture capital. She didn’t wait for permission. She believed in her product, built a community around it, and let the results speak for themselves. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned executive, Andrea’s story is a powerful reminder: creativity is currency, and passion is strategy.

Start with meaning. Passion projects have power.

Build community. Her leadership role in WIPA keeps her connected.

Perfect your craft. She mastered preservation techniques before scaling.

Elevate the industry. She’s not just selling a service—she’s redefining one.
