Pink Lipstick, Steel-Toed Boots, and Owning My Space

Walking through the refinery with my hair in a ballet bun and a swipe of pink lipstick, I used to wonder if I was too much of a girl for this place. But honestly? I’m done pretending I have to choose between being feminine and being respected in STEM. I can love equations and eyeliner, night shifts and nail polish. The real power move is showing up as yourself—whatever that looks like. If someone’s got a problem with my dress, I’ll just remind them: I don’t take fashion advice from anyone in cargo shorts. Do you ever feel pressured to tone down your style at work, or do you go full glam? #WomenInSTEM #StyleConfidence #RefineryChic #BeYourself #Fashion
