By: Fashion Features, Features, Personality Profiles, Lehigh Valley Style, Lehigh Valley Style August 2016, Fashion

Additional on-site hair and makeup services provided by: Metro Beauty Academy | Special thanks to: The Grand Eastonian Hotel & Suites for providing the shoot's gorgeous backdrop

These six women prove that exceptional style is achievable no matter what you do, whether that be report live on the daily news, perform high-risk surgery or shuttle your kids back and forth to soccer practice. Their tastes vary from bohemian to classic to edgy, but each one carries with her a similar accessory that is even more noteworthy than the clothes: confidence.
