That IT Girl Rule #6

Get your clothing tailored…

 .

.

99% of clothing items made today are mass produced and made from patterns that are created to fit standard body sizes.  We all know that in the real world, there is no such thing as a standard sized woman.  We come in all shapes thus making it impossible for the clothing industry to custom fit each and every one of us.

It is typically very expensive to have clothing custom made, however it is essential to dress and style yourself as if your garments were designed specifically for you.  This is where a good tailor enters the scene.  Long gone are the days of flooding hemlines.  A tailor will alter your clothing to fit your specific body shape and size for usually a very reasonable fee.

If I find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly length wise but are too large in the waist, I will simply drop them off at my trusted tailor and have them taken in an inch or two.  This usually cost approximately $10-$20, but having a well fitting garment that compliments my body shape perfectly is priceless.

That IT Girl Rule #5

This rule hails from one of my readers who sent me a wonderful e-mail with this tip.

Read something everyday…

Reading daily is crucial for ensuring that an IT Girl stays mentally sharp.  You can read an article from the newspaper or an internet periodical (i.e CNN, Huffington Post, That IT Girl).  You can read a book, or chapters from the Bible or any other spiritual book.  Reading helps develop vocabulary and arms you with great conversation topics for social settings.  Just a thought.

 I’ve had a love for reading my entire life but it is sometimes hard to find time to do so with such a busy schedule.  I’ve found that carrying a book, magazine, or my iPad wherever I go helps keep me abreast on current events.

Improve your cooking skills…

I know that we all lead very full and busy lives.  With the invention of fast food, and ready made meals, many women believe that it is no longer important to know how to properly cook a meal from scratch or  we make cooking the last priority on on our long list of daily task .

I am here to tell you that even though we may not have time to cook a 5 course meal everyday, I think is of upmost importance that we at least learn how to boil an egg, cook rice, and bake chicken.  It is essential that we can provide nourishment to ourselves and our loved ones.

I would love to know what some of your favorite recipes are.  Let’s discuss below, or contact me.
