Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bren's rules rule!
Review: After I had open-heart surgery which put a 12 inch scar down the middle of my chest, my wardrobe needed a serious going over.This book was a terrific help.If you are looking for pictures of stuff to wear, go elsewhere, you won't find them here. If you are looking for substantial fashion advice for any age or era, check out this book.I rearranged my closet according to Bren's very simple system, and it was a revelation.Now, the author probably spends waaaa...yyy more on clothes than I ever would, but I am a 43 year-old housewife/artist/army wife and she is an image consultant.But her advice is geared towards real-life. (What other fashionista out there recognizes that a woman may have specific underwear for "that time of the month", or one may need to dress for a specific climate or lifestyle?)This is practical advice, and her writing style is light and fun.Thanks, Bren!

Summary: Practical Basic Advice
Review: The authors give out basic information about taking care of, building, and maintaining a wardrobe. Cost factors to consider, quality clothing cues, building a wardrobe, basic yes, yeses, and no, nos.

I looked up where they are located and plan on using their professional services as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I truly hated this book and would give it a zero if I could
Review: The writing style was so extraordinarily annoying that I found it virtually impossible to read. The few nuggets of good advice must be culled out of hackneyed, trite, tired attempts at wit. I found myself skimming the entire book searching for something worthwhile and find it was not worth the effort. If you were able to edit out the exasperating filler you might have the makings of a worthwhile magazine article.
