In Style: Instant Style

Really enjoyed this book ....it was nice to know as I age I can still look stylish without looking like I was dressing to young. Thanks for the tips on keeping in style for seniors.

Great style book.

I brought this book after months of having the Lucky shopping manuel and I have to say, that if I could put that book and this book together I would have the perfect style guide. Where the Lucky shopping manuel is weak, this is strong and vice versa. Some of the best parts of this book are giving advice on how to dress for diff. age groups, how to fix up your closet, different looks for work, weekend,and evening based on the seasons. Whether it's spring/summer or fall/winter. This book also has a section of jewerly, and is more detailed than Lucky on how to dress for diff. types of vacations. The weaknesses of this book are body types( not every full figured women looks like Queen Latifah), the personal style profiles, and shoe sections. Yet, this book also contain a check list of clothes needed for every season and a booklet to help you edit and buy more clothes. I would recommend this book, but would also recommend buying the Lucky shopping manuel and the Teen people Celebrity Style Guide to have a more well rounded and complete style guide.

A fashion bible

I love this book. Like the magazine, it features plenty of glamorous outfits, but at heart it's a practical guide to looking good for women of just about any age or shape. It's well organized and easy to follow, with sections on topics like seasonal dress, accessories, the use of color, and even budgeting for your clothing purchases. It is a terrific shopping guide, but what I like best are the suggestions for mixing and matching pieces to get more looks out of your wardrobe. They help you make much better use of the clothes that you already own. I recommend this book highly.

Fashion Made Easy

I've looked at a bunch of similar books, but this one seems the most helpful. I like to shop for clothes, but sometimes I can't figure out how to put all the pieces together or what outfits are right for different occasions. This makes getting dressed seem less intimidating, and I realized better ways to combine pieces that I already have. User-friendly, fun to look at.

Great fashion advice

This book is fun, easy to understand and helpful. It's got great advice on how to put together outfits for everything from parties to what to wear to the office to what to wear to the beach--and there are neat photos so you can see the outfits put together, including purses and shoes, and what's best for your "shape." There's something in here for every type of woman, no matter what her age and personal style. It really helped me figure out some of my fashion problems--I no longer stand stupefied in front of my closet, feeling as if I have nothing to wear! And on top of the great advice, there are lots of pictures of stars. I like it so much, I'm going to give it as a Christmas gift to friends.
