Simply Smart Strategies

While The Style Strategy contains no earth shattering advice for women on a budget (invest in classics, skimp on trends, work with what you already have, etc...), I can't describe how nice it is to hear Nina Garcia advocating questioning expensive impulse items and plugging Target. Though I have no doubt that Garcia may never had to economize the way some of us do, it is evident that she really thought out her advice to the rest of us. If you already own Garcia's other two books, is is definitely a retread of the same concepts, but the stylish illustrations by Ruben Toledo are always a treat.

A must read.

I got my book at a book signing. I didn't grow up with much and the book offered alot of great economic tips and quotations from others on all areas of fashion and beauty. Book brought me to my youth. There were alot moments of: "of course!" and "I did/done that!" while reading this book. And a nice wonderful person too.

Me, style?

I found this book very interesting. Nina writes in plain English, makes specific suggestions on how to dress without being a slave to trends, and making us think that we need to buy the $100 T-shirt.

Loved It!

This is not my usual type of book purchase, but it was mentioned in Worn Through-one of my favorite blogs, so I bought it. The watercolor illustrations are a fun addition to the text. The book has a ton of advice for the everyday woman. I love the little blurbs on pop culture and history. I'm keeping mine, but it would make a great gift too.
