Smart, Pretty & Awkward

How to be Smarter: It looks nice if bookends match each other, but they don’t have to match to do their job of holding up books. It’s the same on a team: it can be nice if you and your teammates have things in common, but you don’t need to be perfect personality matches to do your assigned task well.

How to be Prettier: In general, cardigans or blazers that hit you at the widest part of your middle (either your hips or your waist, depending on your body type) make your torso appear wider.

How to be (less) Awkward: When you email someone asking for advice and they take the time to respond, you need to take the time to write back and say ‘thank you’ (whether it’s someone as close to you as your mom, or someone you’ve never met who you are networking with).

    Hallo Molly,

    I used your “less awkward” – advice a few days ago and today I was confronted with big smile from the other person. This was so lovely!

    I thank you very much for your time and your great ideas you put into your fantastic blog.
