- Model: Anna Nordlocken Lives in: Albert Lea with fiance, Drew Wescott Career: Fifth-grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary School Interests: Camping, hiking, reading and spending time with friends and family Favorite stores and brands to shop: Gap, American Eagle and Target Practical style advice: I try to dress comfortably, but accessorize with a statement necklace or scarf. I also always carry a chapstick and have a way to put my hair up.

- Model: Kristin Kyllo Lives in: Albert Lea Career: Third-grade teacher at Sibley Elementary School Interests: Running, reading, binge-watching TV shows and spending time with family and friends Favorite stores and brands to shop: Target, American Eagle, LulaRoe, boutiques and random online shops. Practical style advice: I like to wear clothing that is easy to move in and will be comfortable all day. Each day is different and you never know what you will be doing — so wear things that allow for crawling on the floor or playing games at recess. Also, always have a backup plan — leave some extra choices at work, such as an extra sweater or an alternative choice for something to wear.

- Model: Melinda Talamantes Lives in: Albert Lea with her husband, Ray Career: Fourth-grade teacher at Lakeview Elementary School Interests: Reading, hiking and hanging out with friends Favorite stores and brands to shop: Old Navy, Gap, Target Practical style advice: My leggings are my favorite piece to mix and match. I wear leggings with a variety of tops. My favorites are over-sized sweaters and soft, comfortable fabrics. I add a scarf, necklace or a cardigan to make it look like a different outfit. I like clothes that I can wash, and I don’t wear anything that requires me to dry clean. I don’t have time for that, and I always get marker on my clothes! I spend a lot of time with 9- and 10-year-olds, so I get messy.
