In most ways, Molly* bears no resemblance to most Americans’ image of a “traditional” woman. The 37-year-old teacher is an accomplished athlete, a Fulbright Scholar with a Master’s degree, and a fluent Spanish-speaker who’s lived abroad and traveled widely. She’s a self-described “striver,” always working on her swim stroke, her Spanish vocab, or her next advanced degree.

Just one glance at these two tall, striking blondes, and it’s pretty obvious that Ashley Owens and Elaine Clapp are related. But while they share the same curly hair and baby blue eyes, this mother/daughter duo couldn’t be farther from each other on the style spectrum.
