WARDROBE
RESET
As the seasons change, so should our wardrobes. If you’ve ever stood in front of your
closet feeling overwhelmed by clutter yet convinced you have nothing to wear, it’s time for a
wardrobe reset. Organizing your closet not only simplifies your daily routine but also
refreshes your style and boosts confidence. Here’s how to hit the reset button and create a
closet that works for you.
A Fresh Start to Style and Organization
Keep: Items you love,
wear often, and feel
confident in.
Donate/Sell: Pieces in
good condition that no
longer fit your style or needs.
Discard: Worn-out,
damaged, or outdated items
that can’t be repurposed.
Create a Capsule
Wardrobe
Declutter with Purpose
Start by taking everything out of your closet. Yes—
everything. This allows you to see what you have
and evaluate each item. Use the Three-Pile Method:
If you haven’t worn it in over a year, it might be
time to let it go. A streamlined closet means less
stress and more outfit possibilities.
Organize Like a Pro
Once you’ve narrowed down your wardrobe, it’s
time to organize strategically:
Categorize by Type: Group similar items
together—shirts, pants, dresses, etc.
Color Coordination: Arranging clothes by color
makes outfit selection easier.
Use Matching Hangers: Uniform hangers
create a cohesive, clean look.
Invest in Storage Solutions: Use bins, drawer
dividers, & shelf organizers to maximize space.
A capsule wardrobe consists of
versatile, high-quality pieces that
can be mixed and matched
effortlessly. Invest in wardrobe
staples like a classic blazer, a well-
fitted pair of jeans, neutral tops,
and comfortable yet stylish
footwear. Not only will this
minimize clutter, but it will also
ensure you always have go-to
outfits that make you feel polished
and put together.

10 Must Have Fashion Trends
To Take From the Runway to Your Closet
TAILORED
STREET
EDGE1
Combining street style with
tailoring creates a fresh fashion
edge that blends relaxed cool
vibe with refined sophistication.
Victoria Beckham showcased
this trend on her Spring 2025
Runway, where she paired her
crisp blazers with relaxed
trousers and sporty sneakers.
Imagine layering an oversized
hoodie under a fitted coat or
styling tailored shorts with a
graphic tee; this juxtaposition
adds visual interest and
versatility. This approach
encourages individual
expression, as each outfit can
be personalized with
accessories and textures,
making it a favorite among
fashion-forward thinkers who
want to balance comfort with
style.
BODYSUITS
ARE BACK
Bodysuits are making a
stylish comeback,
reemerging as a bold
fashion staple that blends
comfort with chic design.
Today’s bodysuits
embrace a wider array of
textures, cuts, and
embellishments,
transforming them into
versatile fashion
statements. Kendall
Jenner showcased this
trend when she strutted
down the Schiaparelli
runway in a striking
bodysuit that epitomized
the brand’s avant-garde
aesthetic. To incorporate
this trend into your
wardrobe, try pairing a
fitted bodysuit with high-
waisted trousers or a
flowing skirt and knee high
boots for a balanced look.
On the Chloé runway, bag charms took center
stage, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch to
the collection. To embrace this trend, consider
adding a few unique bag charms to your favorite
handbags; whether you choose bold colors or
delicate designs, they can instantly elevate your
look and make your accessories feel fresh and
personal.

Florals in Spring? Not
quite groundbreaking.
But lovers of Loewe
can update their
occasion wear with
muted hues of their

Yellow takes center
stage in Spring, infusing
wardrobes with
optimism and joy. From
sunny lemon to deep
mustard, Chloe and
Lacoste are showcasing
this vibrant hue in
everything from flowy
dresses to sheer polos.
From handbags to outerwear, suede
took the runway by storm. The most
noticeable standout: Miu Miu’s
Aventure bag. Consider a suede
accessory as a more affordable way
to participate in the trend.
Denim on denim

GLOW
ALL ABOUT THAT
As the sun shines brighter
and the days grow longer,
it’s time to refresh your
skincare routine for summer.
Whether you're hitting the
beach or lounging poolside,
achieving a healthy glow
while protecting your skin is
key. From the best
sunscreens to flawless tans,
we’ve got you covered with
expert recommendations to
keep your skin radiant all
season long.
Your Summer Essential
The golden rule of summer
skincare? Never skip sunscreen!
Protecting your skin from
harmful UV rays is crucial to
maintaining its health and
youthfulness. Look for broad
spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and
remember to reapply every two
hours, especially after swimming
or sweating.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen
SPF 40 is a lightweight, invisible
formula perfect for everyday
wear under makeup.
With these expert tips and
must-have products, you’ll
be glowing from head to toe
all summer long. Enjoy the
sunshine safely and let your
radiant skin shine!
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-
Spectrum SPF 46 is a great
for sensitive and acne-prone
skin, packed with niacinamide
and antioxidants.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios
Meltbin Milk Sunscreen SPF
60 is a hydrating and water-
resistant, ideal for beach days.
Achieving a Glow (Safely!)
A bronzed look without sun
damage? Yes, please! Self
tanners are the best way to
achieve that golden glow
without the risk of premature
aging or skin cancer. Prep
your skin by exfoliating and
moisturizing dry areas like
elbows and knees before
application.
Hydration & After-Sun
Sun exposure can dry out
and irritate your skin, so
keeping it hydrated is a
must. After a long day in the
sun, soothe your skin with a
cooling gel or rich
moisturizer.
St. Tropez Self Tan Express
Bronzing Mousse is a
customizable tan that
develops in just 1-3 hours.
Bondi Sands Aero Aerated
Self Tanning Foam has a
hydrating formula that
leaves skin silky smooth
and bronzed.
Drunk Elephant

Financial Tips from a Former Miss Rhode Island
Turned Wall Street Expert
Money Matters
By: Caroline Parente
My year spent as Miss Rhode Island in the
Miss America Opportunity was the most
rewarding experience of my life; yet the
opportunity did not end with a new title.
Instead, I concluded my time as Miss Rhode
Island with incredible scholarships and a
network beyond my wildest imagination.
Upon relinquishing my title, I began a career
on Wall Street working in investment
banking. The learning curve was steep, but I
quickly realized that my most formidable
challenge as I began adulthood in New York
City would be personal finances. In case you
haven’t heard, New York is quite expensive.
So at the same time that I set out to make
my mark into the financial capital of the
world, I find myself grappling with how to
master my own personal finances. As I
sought out tips and tricks, I found myself
wishing financial literacy was taught to high
schoolers – especially young girls – far more
than current curriculum allows. Here are the
“Three B’s” I wish I knew before going off to
college:
Be Vigilant:
It is important to get in the habit of
checking on your finances often. At the
very least, be sure to check your bank
accounts and look over your transactions
once per week. Apps like RocketMoney
and Simplifi allow you to review
transactions on your phone from all of your
accounts and cards at the same time.
Build Credit:
This was the advice proffered by every
adult in my life as I was growing up, and it
is true. The earlier you can get a credit card
and learn safe spending habits, the better. I
find it best to set strict spending limits
when first starting out. Even if you only put
a few purchases on your credit card per
month, starting early goes a long way in
building a strong credit score.
This will be very important down the line,
especially if you are hoping to rent an
apartment in a major city.
Budgeting 101:
Find the budgeting guidelines that work best
for you and your financial goals and check
up on them often. If you are unsure where to
start, the 50/30/20 rule is a great launching
point. This means 50% of your earnings go
towards needs (housing, groceries, gas, all
the pretty boring stuff), 30% goes toward
wants (the fun stuff: travel, restaurants,
subscriptions, or my personal favorite, Miss
America merch), and 20% goes towards
savings and loans. Depending on your goals,
you can shift these percentages accordingly.
By using an app, or, dare I say, making a
spreadsheet of your own finances, you can
clearly see exactly where your money is
going and plan where it should be going.
If you want to deepen your financial
knowledge, consider adding these books to
your reading list. For a strong foundation in
personal finance, “How to Money” by Jean
Chatzky, Katherine Tuggle, and the
HerMoney Team offers essential guidance. If
you're looking to explore the world of
investing, “Girls That Invest” by Simran Kaur
breaks down key concepts in an accessible
way. And for young women aspiring to be in
leadership and entrepreneurship, “Girls Who
Run the World: 31 CEOs Who Mean
Business” by Diana Kapp provides inspiring
stories of female business leaders who have
made their mark.

For many young women, the Miss America stage is more than just a runway—it’s a
launchpad to opportunity. Beyond the gowns, the spotlights, and the talent performances
lies something even more transformative: life-changing scholarships that open doors to
higher education and future careers.
Year after year, the Miss America organization stands as one of the largest scholarship
providers for women in the United States. Whether you’re competing at the local, state, or
national level, there are financial opportunities designed to help young women invest in
their futures.
Behind every rhinestone crown is a scholarship —and for many Miss America and Miss
America’s Teen contestants, that scholarship is a game-changer. Each year, the
organization awards over $5 million in tuition scholarships to women nationwide, along with
millions more in in-kind educational support. These scholarships don’t just help pay for
college—they empower women to pursue their ambitions with confidence and clarity.

Opportunities&
The 2025 Miss America winner received a $50,000
tuition scholarship, a life-changing boost toward her
educational goals. Meanwhile, Miss America’s Teen 2025
was awarded the choice between a $50,000 tuition
scholarship to an accredited school or a four-year
scholarship to the University of Alabama—a university
now well-known to Gen Z as the home of “Bama Rush.”
Miss America Abbie Stockard is living proof that the Miss
America organization isn’t just about competition—it’s
about creating real opportunities. “I have received over
$86,000 from the Miss America scholarship program. Not
only is it paving my way through college debt-free,
but it is also allowing me to obtain my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing at Auburn
University in order to one day become a Pediatric Nurse Anesthetist.”
Like many contestants, Abbie originally competed for the scholarship benefits, but she
quickly discovered that the organization offered so much more. “This organization has
helped me cultivate my style and showcase my confidence and individuality no matter the
occasion. I have acquired skill sets such as communication, outreach, and networking that
will allow me to be successful beyond the title of Miss Alabama.”
For Abbie, the journey was about personal growth, leadership, and developing skills that
would serve her well beyond the competition. “I learned how to be an effective brand
ambassador and how to secure sustainable partnerships. I was also able to go on this
journey with like-minded women by my side. My journey has shown me the power of this
organization in that it brings women in, builds them up, and sends them out to be the
change-makers that our world needs today.”
If you’re a young woman with big dreams—whether in academics, leadership, or community
impact—Miss America and Miss America’s Teen offer more than just a stage. It’s an
opportunity to gain financial support for your education, develop professional skills, and join
a network of ambitious and accomplished women.
The competition isn’t just about winning a crown—it’s about becoming a role model, an
advocate, and a future leader. As Abbie Stockard puts it, “All it takes is someone who has a
true heart and passion for this organization.”If you’re ready to invest in your future, the stage
is set. Sign up today and take the first step toward scholarships, self-discovery, and
success!
“I can’t thank Miss America’s
Teen enough for giving me the
opportunity to now say I’m a
proud Summa Cum Laude
graduate of the University of
Alabama and I graduated
completely debt free with
4 years of the most
amazing people and
memories under my belt.”

“Utilizing the Presidential
Scholarship to the University
of Alabama that I earned as

grateful for the more than

I was awarded through this
partnership.”
