You all know about the MUSE Conference coming up March 6 - 8, right? The three day inspiration-fest celebrates women and girls as catalysts for change–kicking off Women's History Month while also honoring the International Day of the Woman.

The MUSE Conference is hosted by World Muse, a nonprofit based here in Bend, Oregon. World Muse Founder Amanda Stuermer is a dear friend and a beloved Betty. We invited Amanda and her Muse team, Cynthia LaRoche, Tracy Treu and Cassondra Schindler to try on a few looks as they prepare for the conference.
