    An Amazing Book for those who aren't quite sure what they should own

    I was normally the jeans and t-shirt wearing girl until about 2 years ago I graduated High school, I realized that Jeans aren't going to be suitable for work and I shouldn't keep making them my go to idem. This book really helped me to build a better understanding of what I should own and how I can make flattering outfits out of these cloths I plan on buying the other Lucky book in the hopes that it will help me go even farther.

    I wore out my first copy!

    I love this book so much and refer to it constantly. I had to buy another because the first copy finally wore out. It's great to browse before you go shopping or feel like you have nothing to wear. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

    Great for a 'From Scratch' Wardrobe

    As a woman who is moving from a uniformed work environment to one with more dressing options, I have found this book helpful in creating a wardrobe from scratch. The only thing that I saw lacking was a absence of accessory advice beyond bags and shoes. I need more guidance when it comes to belts, scarves and key jewelry pieces as well.

    a good resource

    This book has great information about what clothes are out there, how to put them together, getting the most versatility out of your wardrobe, and where to splurge. That said, it is NOT (nor does it claim to be) a resource on how to best dress a specific body type. Rather, it is a survey of possibilities. I think that if you start with something like 'What Not to Wear,' this book can give you a lot of inspiration. I think it would be especially helpful for inspiration if you don't live in a major city.

    Best of the 'What to Wear' group

    Great photos, plenty of ideas for putting pieces together. I have read a lot of these types of books and this is my favorite. Only problem: Doesnt go into body shapes and what you can do if you dont have the ideal shape. Also most of the clothes are geared to women in their 20's. Still, a great buy, usually I buy and resell on Ebay, but this one is a keeper.

    Excellent Fashion Advice

    I found this book very helpful in helping me figure out what looks good on me and what doesn't. I have several items in my wardrobe that never quite looked right and I didn't know why. This book helped me figure out where I was going wrong.

    This book saves my life again and again and again

    This book has been the biggest help ever! I am such a fashion fanatic and love anything to do with clothing. Anytime I need to match something or put an outfit together for an event, I go back to the book and find an awesome idea. It's a great book because, unlike the monthy magazine, it doesn't give specific designers, it just offers up types of clothing. If you read the magazine each month, you'll know exactly where to find the amazing things that are shown in the book. Each page is filled with helpful hints and information about how to buy clothing that fits your body-type and what to match with what. My favorite parts of the book are the three-day packing guides which tell what to pack for a weekend getaway, and the 'top 20 list of pieces you should invest in.' There's even a closet clean-out guide to help you get rid of what you don't wear and make room for new additons. This book is worth every penny and more.

    Good for some, not for others

    This book is definitely a help when you're trying to build a wardrobe, and it provides good tips on what types of clothes flatters what types of bodies. For example, it will recommend a certain type of jeans if you've got big hips. But one problem is that it doesn't give any suggestions on where to shop for such clothes. Also, it neglects the fact that many people are thin overall. In other words, it doesn't take all body types into account. Granted, that would make the book a whole lot more complex, but it would also make it more useful. However, the book gives some good 'fit' guidelines, like the length of pants and the 'fit' of the seat. The pictures of actual clothes are great, but if they'd shown them placed on actual people, it'd have been better. For example, if they showed a large-busted woman and then showed her in the suggested types of clothes, it'd give people a better idea of the fit/look they should be shooting for. Overall, a neat book, with lots of ideas, but I think it will leave some people with more questions than answers.

    Very Good Practical Advice

    This book offered great advice for shopping and building up a wardrobe with simple things. They show you one article of clothing, such as a white t-shirt, and give you different ways to wear it for different looks. I love this book
