Taking Time for Yourself
Looking for inspiration to take some time for yourself? As a tradeswoman, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind, but sometimes the best way to recharge is by stepping away and treating yourself to a solo adventure. In my recent solo trip to Greenville, South Carolina, I explored a book warehouse, enjoyed a solo date at a French bistro, wandered through Falls Park, and even visited the Greenville Zoo, where a giraffe put on a show and a chimpanzee gave me a good laugh. It was a much-needed reminder that self-care is just as important as the hard work we put in every day. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a quiet moment of reflection, taking time for yourself can do wonders. Check out the full blog for more on my solo adventure and how you can make time for you too!
Built for HER
In this blog post, I reflect on the evolution of women’s workwear in the trades, from the early days when women were forced to wear ill-fitting, gender-neutral gear to the recent wave of brands creating workwear designed specifically for women. I share how, as more women entered the trades, the demand for better-fitting, more functional workwear grew. Konstellation is proud to be part of this movement, creating workwear that blends durability, comfort, and a perfect fit for women in the trades. As the industry continues to evolve, the future of workwear for tradeswomen looks brighter than ever, and I invite readers to stay connected through our Instagram and TikTok for updates and empowering stories.
Understanding ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E
ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E are essential safety standards for flame-resistant (FR) workwear in high-risk electrical environments. ASTM F1506 ensures clothing is flame-resistant and offers protection from electrical hazards, while NFPA 70E outlines safe working practices and PPE requirements. Together, these standards ensure workers are protected from serious injuries while working in dangerous conditions. At Konstellation, our workwear meets these rigorous standards, providing safety, comfort, and durability—so you can focus on the job, not the risk.
The Future of Workwear
We’re excited to introduce the first product in our collection, Flame-Resistant (FR) shirts designed specifically for women in the trades. Combining safety, comfort, and style, these shirts meet rigorous safety standards while offering a tailored fit and breathable fabric to keep you confident and protected on the job. No more compromising between functionality and style—our FR shirts are built to keep you safe and looking your best, no matter the challenge.
Stay tuned for more as we continue to redefine workwear for women.
