To my surprise, I enjoyed reading this book. It was "suggested" reading by my mentor/friend/boss. At first I thought it would be another "dress for success" instructional manual but instead it was a down-to-earth guide using a common sense approach to grooming and dressing my body to impress myself first, then those that I interact with during the day. What I especially liked was that it did not try to make me into a clone of someone I wasn't. The book showed me how to properly accentuate my body assets and enhance my body imperfections. Everything from my best clothing styles, to clothing, jewelry and accessory colors, to eyeglasses and sunglasses shape and color, to my hairstyle, sideburn length, necktie knot (and how to tie it), etc., etc., etc. It was unbelievable how in-depth and detailed the information was, yet easy to understand. The author constantly emphasizes that you should be yourself, using and showing your uniqueness to your advantage. I really clicked with that theory. I plan to continue using this book as a reference guide as my body changes with age. Tony
A New and Improved Me - The Way I Was Born To Be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Perfect by Design really helped me make the right decisions about my appearance. I feel better about my appearance, my self-image has improved ten-fold, and I feel more confident about myself. I know the changes I have made will stay with me for the rest of my life. A month ago I finished reading Perfect by Design. I followed the step-by-step instructions that showed me how to analyze myself. I truly enjoyed the process, though it was a real eye-opener! The enormous amount of information presented in the book at first seemed overwhelming, but the author's easy-to-follow instructions made it simple to carry out. I moved forward with the information learned. First, I changed my hair color and style, makeup colors and the way I apply my make-up. I also started to wear my "best colors". Just as the author suggested, I started to make the necessary changes starting at the top of my head and worked my way down my body. I couldn't believe how fast friends and co-workers noticed the changes and started to compliment me on my new look. Even total strangers would comment on my appearance. I have been told that I look younger, thinner, brighter and overall happier. Everyone wanted to know how I did it and how much it cost. I told them I simply read a book and followed the instructions. This book will change your life forever! Julie
