 Rating:  - If you need major help!This book is an excellent primer for those such as myself who may be slightly clueless on the fashion front. For me, it's a bargain alternative to a personal shopper (I wish!). The book has loads of pictures that offer plenty of ideas for new outfits and spark your creativity.

I am excited to clean out my closet and gradually rebuild my wardrobe! Rating:  - Not recommended for petite women.This is a fun book to look at because it has a lot of pictures of outfits and ways to combine things, but I do not recommend it for petite women. Many of the clothes featured would not be flattering to a petite frame or available in petite sizes. |
