Customer Reviews

Everything Old Is New Again

This book was written with a late 1990s viewpoint. It is odd to see how Joan trashes the 1970s looks that are so popular now, while applauding man-tailored clothing. But that was the 1990s, and this book is a bit dated. It is still a fun trip down memory lane to see how everything you swore you'd never wear again is right back in style. Proof for your kids who think leggings and bellbottoms are the newest thing. Have a good laugh, and don't miss the updated version of this book that is in color and much better.

'Glamourous' Nostalgia

If you remember Glamour Magazine's popular old 'Do's and Don'ts' column, you'll find this book lots of fun. It's full of do and don't photos that appeared in the magazine from the 60's through the 80's. I've bought the book before and got it again now as a little gift for an old college friend. My only complaint is that the pictures aren't in color.
