Pressley Hosbach's mantra for back to school? Never. Be. Boring.
This year I'm all about trying new things, explains the 15-year-old dancer, actress, singer and fashion designer (while, naturally, climbing on a desk at our Clueless-inspired photo shoot).
As for her secret to, well, not being boring? Kicking her comfort zone to the curb and leaving perfectionism in the past.
Sometimes there's something I really want to do, whether it's wearing a bolder outfit or picking up a new hobby, and then I get too nervous, Pressley shares. But I don't want to look back with regret thinking, 'you could have done so much more.
But forget the past-we're looking ahead to her future. On Pressley's vision board? All of her faves (hot pink/Harry Styles concerts/beach days with her family)...her biggest dreams (hint: Hannah Montana plays a part)...and even celebrating all the struggles and slip-ups (hey, they happen) along the way.
Because despite being one of the brightest/sunniest/happiest people you'll ever meet (srsly, she's one of the nicest girls ever), Pressley knows that the real secret to life is telling your authentic story, finding the courage to pursue new passions and simply having fun with it all.
And, let's be honest, we're *all* trying to be in our Pressley Hosbach era this fall.
GL: OK, obsessed with your Clueless looks right now.
Pressley: Me too! I love when I can do a shoot like this and take fashion risks. And, hello, Cher is an absolutely iconic character—I love her. This is like my dream day.
That matching set with the pink gloves is everything. You should really wear it home…
