Book Reviews of The Lucky Shopping Manual: Building and Improving Your Wardrobe Piece by Piece

Book Review: Helpful for outfit ideas
Summary: 3 Stars

Pictures of outfits were very helpful for ideas about putting new outfits together. Except on page 174 it looks as though they are suggesting to wear a denim 'suit' i.e. head to toe denim. Which we all know is a fashion no-no. All in all a good idea book to get you thinking about different options and combinations of cloths and shoes. I get most of my fashion advice from the show 'What Not To Wear' on TLC. Hosts Clinton Kelly and Stacy London have great advice and they have a book, here's the link:Dress Your Best: The Complete Guide to Finding the Style That's Right for Your Body
