Summary: It's only a pamphlet!
Review: Be warned that this is a poorly structured 92 page pamphlet - not really a book in any legitimate sense. And much of the information is outdated or plain old in bad taste. The author still recommends wearing shoulder pads - and leggings with oversized sweaters. While this little thing might have been a cute thing to give to her consulting clients 10 years ago, it's far too expensive for what you get...

Summary: Saved me time and money!
Review: How wonderful to have someone give me straight talk about simple actions I can take to spiff up my wardrobe/appearance! Like the splits in my skirts, for example ... I like to wear long skirts, and they all seem to come with splits. It never occurred to me that I could sew them up! Thanks for permission to make a 100% improvement in the appearance of the skirts and 100% improvement in my confidence wearing them. Ginger also gave me permission to buy really good quality clothing. Somehow I "knew" that I seldom wore many of the bargain clothes I had collected, but in reading this book, I felt like I had a loving friend looking at my closet and understanding me, rather than making me feel like a fashion emergency. While I'll probably never taper or shorten my skirts, I know that's good advice for folks with really great legs. However, I definitely got a boost from the idea I only have a 6" waist ! Finally, toupee tape for shoulder pads and scarves that float is a tip that alone is worth the price of the book. I re-visit the book every couple months to find another quick and easy way to make me feel great about myself and improve my appearance. Mom would really have loved that.

Summary: Saved me time and money!
Review: I loved the pratical nature of this book. You can flip through and find a fashion remedy or new tip in no time. I learned a lot. For example, because I suffer from having a small upper body and a larger lower body, using things like shoulder pads and the right jacket length has made a world of difference in how I look (everyone thinks I've lost weight :). I also saved money after reading the tips on avoiding buying mistakes. Great gift for the friend or family member who hates to shop yet wants to look good.
