From fatigues to fashion has been nothing, but a wild ride for us. Admittedly, we’ve always loved clothes, shoes, makeup, jewelry, and followed fashion since young girls, however, we chose a different path to attend West Point and become Army Officers. Life of a female soldier is pretty much everything, but glamorous. Camouflaging our femininity to blend in with the male masses was something we were all too familiar with. It was probably one of our hardest challenges when putting on the uniform every day—making a conscious decision to lose our inherent feminine side that we were born with and loved. It just made life as a female in the Army much easier when you could blend.

As soon as we finished up with our military obligations, our feminine ways were knocking at the door. We freely accepted that back into our life as we felt like we gave up a part of who we were as women. It was so nice to put on makeup with a bright lipstick or get a manicure with nail art. These are things that most take for granted—not us!

Today we wanted to mix in our military roots to our current life in fashion by wearing civilian clothes with a military flare. We accessorized with the most appropriate jewelry for this look from our Women Warriors by Stella Valle line. Ashley rocked an Army green faux leather skirt from the store House of CB coupled with an off the shoulder tan top. Making the look even a little more edgy she added our new necklace in the collection Empowered Women Empower Women. This and the I Can I Will bracelet are 2 of our favorite new pieces brought to you in this line. We found this vintage chain searching through our factory’s aisles upon aisles of chain and thought it was the coolest, cutest chain! It looks like mini bullets or spikes, how cute! Paige compliments the military look of Ashley in khaki shorts with an olive drab top. A simple look is completed with her new favorite Women Warriors necklace, the I Am Strong Lock necklace and the Be Your Own Hero Bracelet. She wears these pieces as a reminder that she is strong, no one can break her, and to believe in yourself.
