Why You Don't Have to Work in Fashion to Be Stylish

by Nicole Kliest

Okay, so we know you’re aware that working in fashion is not a prerequisite to having style (obviously), but the majority of the fashion publications you follow undoubtedly cover figures in our industry—which is great! However, today we’re spotlighting women who have not only admirable taste but also killer careers outside of our realm. From a baker with a penchant for all things lively to a floral designer whose photographs look straight out of a storybook, scroll down for eight people we’re inspired by, and if you want to see more of this type of coverage, let us know in the comments.
