IN OUR ISSUE
Find Your Fit
THIS SHIRT LOOKS GREAT WITH OUR COVER SKIRT TOO!
This month, we don’t want you settling for anything less than the perfect fit in every part of your life. In this issue, we want to help you find your spot and love being there. Start with changing your perspective. If you are prone to starting projects before you finish them, read Bob Mueller’s essay about perseverance (page 46). When you read it, you’ll understand there’s no way for you to find the perfect fit if you quit before you see results. Next, make a few tailoring adjustments to your skirt, pants, or dress and feel your style confidence rise. We show you four ways you can transform your clothes instantly (page 22). Is your job draining your spirit? If you’re forcing yourself into no-win situations that are confining, read about how women like Hope Zoeller and Agnese Smith found their career niche by following their heart (page 48). Get ready — your journey for the right fit starts now.
ON OUR COVER Paige Conrad, 23, has found her right fit through mentoring girls as part of the Southeast Christian Church high school ministry. A former UofL Ladybird, Paige also coaches the New Albany High School dance team and says she feels satisfaction in giving back to the youth in her community. “Growing up, I had lots of mentors, and I recognize how important that was for me because it turned me into the woman I am today.” See more of Paige in our fashion feature on page 22.
