Style

This book is a great guide if you want to have more information of what is stylish or not. It gives you an idea of what to wear on different occasions. Even color combination are discussed as well as personal care tips. This book is not limited to fashion. It also covers good grooming and personal appearances on special occasions. You need this if you are going to have a busy social life.

nice photographs, useful tips

This is a very, very easy, quick read with lots of quotes, photographs, drawings, and checklists. Klensch is very no-nonsense, with advice on how to build a simple, bare-bones wardrobe. The chapters are broken down into career, business travel, evening, leisure, accessories, and cosmetics. The only humor or lightness I found in the entire book was that "good-luck charm" made this list of "long-flight must-haves." THis is one of those books that is useful and practical, but more as a reference guide than as a read-through. Although the advice is geared to women of all shapes and sizes, the photographs are all of rail-thin runway models.

Practical, easy to understand, and filled with good ideas

I have given this book to several women I know. Without exception, they have reported to me that it is practical, easy to understand, and a very useful reference book. It brings together lots of things you know, and gives them a new twist to make them fresh. It is also filled with completely new thoughts for making an existing wardrobe work better, for finding some new ways of adding a piece or two to give a new twist to what you already have. But perhaps its greatest strength, I am told, is that it helps a woman take a new look at herself, analyze her strengths and weaknesses, and develop a style which is hers personally. This is not a book for models. It is one for real women
