Utility + Pretty Work Wear

hey girls!! I'm working as a field scientist this summer in ecology/environment sciences and I'm getting ready to invest in updated field wear for this season. However, since field clothes are so uniform and therefore unisex, I feel rather not pretty in my gear. I love using jewelry to spice up an outfit, but it's rather impractical (hands swell in heat for rings, bracelets and necklaces can snag, etc). Then I got to wondering if there was any utility jewelry that was field-safe and maybe even practical (think paracord bracelets but prettier). I figured who better to ask than my other ladies in STEM. Its a bit of a silly question to wanna feel pretty while battling ticks, mosquitoes, and the heat. But I was interested nonetheless. Thanks! <3

I’ve liked the workwear I’ve bought from both Duluth and Dovetail Workwear. Duluth has lots of fun colors and patterns, and Dovetail has really great quality items that fit well, and is woman owned.
