Dressing Nifty After Fifty

I needed help & got it from this book. This book makes so much sense to me. It's a great way to weed out all the extra stuff that never gets used in my closet. Which saves me time getting ready for work in the AM. I reccomend this book to any woman who would like to save time & money and look good doing it.

Dressing Nifty after Fifty

This book was a refreshing change from other fashion advice for mature women I've read recently, e.g. give up panty hose in favor of bare legs, embrace the thong, etc. Ms. Richardson's book offers sensible, workable advice to those of us who want to be sensible but not frumpy, current but not silly. I found her delineations of what to wear for work and casual situations particularly helpful.

Buy this book, invest in yourself.

Many thanks to Ms. Richardson for writing this book. I would stare at the fashion magazines' outfits for women of different ages and could not decipher what the subtle differences were that made them age-appropriate. It was very frustrating but now I have her clear explanations to guide me. Particularly helpful were the clarifications of how much to dress up when (casual chic vs. dressy, formal business vs. casual business, etc.) and the two-color/three-color rules. Ms. Richardson takes one from almost getting a sometimes rigid dress code right to being spot on. Her logic is simple to follow and, more importantly, so simple to implement. A reader can take any one suggestion from this book and improve her wardrobe without spending a cent.

Enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50

Looking your best every day is just as important at 50 as it ever was in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or middle-age. Fashion, grooming, and looking lovely is good for one's self-esteem and confidence, socialization with others, and just plain getting the most out of what life has to offer us. In "Dressing Nifty After Fifty: The Definitive Guide To A Simple, Stylish Wardrobe", Corinne Richardson shows how anyone on any budget can look nice, build up their wardrobe based on three basic colors, add zest to their appearance through the use of color, look taller and thinner with the right kind of apparel, combine style and comfort with their footwear, get the most out of their clothing budget, and simply "stay gorgeous as time goes by". Practical, sensible, economy minded, 'reader friendly', and occasionally down right inspiring, "Dressing Nifty After Fifty" is enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50 who want to look as good sartorially as they did when they were 25!

Simplify your life and look stylish at any age.

I have been able to unclutter my closet of unused clothing and find ways to combine clothing and accessories I already own to attain a new, updated, stylish look. My husband and my daughter (my worst clothing critic) have already noticed how much better I am dressing. I am getting compliments at my office and more attentive and courteous treatment in stores and restaurants. My husband and I were even given a chocolate chip cookie as a special treat at a sandwich shop! This book is simple, customized and the principals apply to any age group.
