Nothing to Wear?

What a fun and informative book. If anyone is unsure of why they don't wear half the items in their closet, read this book! I donated half my clothes to charity and only kept items I love and what looks good. There are so many wonderful ideas...from deciding on what style you are and buying clothes for YOU, to organizing your closet. It's a money saving read. It's great!

Good for "normal" people too!

I got this book from my mother who thought my wardrobe could use a pick-me-up--I'm a stay at home mom who wears a lot of t-shirts and jeans, but this book changed that. I really thought if I was just schlepping the kids around, I didn't really need to do anything about clothes, until it was Easter and I didn't even have a dress to wear to church. To say the least, I needed help, and I found it here--I took their little test, was surprised by the result, actually, and decided, well, maybe it is time to embrace that bohemian inside me and start looking the part. And it didn't break the bank, either--I'm taking the advice a few pieces at a time. It was fun to read and fun to implement.

Visual Therapy To the Rescue!

WOW!!! This book really saved my life, or at least my closet! Using Jesse and Joe's formula (and included worksheet), I was able to define my style, streamline my wardrobe and make the purchases necessary to give myself the looks I needed for every possible occasion. One is taken step by step through the process of creating an entirely new and fabulous wardrobe. The book provides a list of essential items needed to make the process easier, from suggestions on what should go and what should stay, to shopping tips, and finally a great way to document your new looks (which in turn makes it that much easier to choose the perfect outfit each and every day). It's all there and is incredibly easy to do! It feels as if Joe and Jesse are there holding your hand from beginning to end, and the final result is truly a new you!

An Outstanding Resource!

Despite having a closet full of clothes, I never really felt as if I had anything to wear and often felt uncomfortable with my clothing choices. As a result, I found myself reaching for the same tired outfits, and never really felt all that put together. The authors have a checklist that helps you define your personal style and from there walk you through the process of editing your current wardrobe and then building a series of flattering looks that illuminate your style. Their simple straightforward formula works regardless of your age or size. As an added bonus, the last few chapters are filled with helpful hints, such as how to maintain and clean your clothes, what to pack when you travel and how to pack it, and answers to common clothing questions (such as what to wear to a wedding or is constitutes cocktail attire). Highly recommended!

Simple & effective solutions to your clothing crisis

I don't know how I cam across this book, but I'm really glad I did. Like a lot of women, I have a ton of clothes, but can never find the right things to wear (except for parties!). This book made me rethink my wardrobe by first helping me define the style I want to project, then weeding out (or editing) my current wardrobe, and finally carefully buying the missing pieces. After reading this, I realized that I'd been buying a mish-mash of styles, so it was no wonder I had such difficulty in pulling looks together, even though I had some great clothes. The description of how to build a core wardrobe you can reach for everyday was incredibly helpful to me. I also appreciated how the book's style references were up-to-date. This book is not geared to any one type of dresser--its lessons are adaptable to professionals, students, home-makers, and everything in-between, and also for a variety of styles (they categorize them as classic, chic, bohemian, avant garde and whimsical). I highly recommend this incredibly helpful book.
