The Style Strategy: A Less-Is-More Approach to Staying Chic and Shopping Smart [NOOK Book]
( 25 )
"This book is written to help propel you forward, into that place where style and shopping are one. Neither can thrive without the other pulling its proper weight. Effortlessly balancing the two is your mission."
From much-loved fashion maven and New York Times bestselling author Nina Garcia comes her most indispensable style primer yet—this one focused on looking timelessly chic, all while saving money!
Armed with Nina's no-fail The Style Strategy, fashionistas will not only discover a myriad of shopping alternatives sure to help them attain high-end looks at lower prices, but also learn how to maximize what they already have through maintenance, ingenuity, and creative style choices. Step by step, Nina helps readers honestly answer three key questions—What do I have? What do I need? What do I want?—before making purchases, so they can effectively eliminate any unnecessary spending.
This book also celebrates some of the most extraordinary women of the past, who remained admiringly fashion-forward during their own era's economic hardships.
Part of the growing classic collection from Nina Garcia, which already includes The Little Black Book of Style and The One Hundred, The Style Strategy is a must-have for this season and all seasons!
With her signature eye for style, Nina Garcia is best known for her appearance as the unerring, formidable fashion judge on the hit show Project Runway. An elite authority in the industry, she has worked in fashion houses and in fashion media, with everyone from Marc Jacobs to Elle magazine and Marie Claire. Originally from Colombia, she now makes her home in New York City.
I have her other 2 books and am greatly looking forward to this one. Nina Garcia writes in a clear no-nonsense way and offers advice on how to hold and create your own personal style. The look she favors blends classics with new trends to create a timeless look all your own.
There are many easy tips in her books to make anyone's wardrobe look new and fantastic. One of my favoriate tips was to have clothing altered for you. So simple and easy, but one never thinks of changing the hem on a shirt to balance the look, or to buy long sleeve tee shirts and alter them to 3/4 length to cover tops of arms better then short sleeves.
Out of all the fashion advise out there; Nina Garcia is the one to listen too.

This book could have been condensed down into a brochure! Much blabbering about nothing....take a pass. Her other book, The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own, is fabulous!

This book has some useful material in it, but I wouldn't buy it again. As another reviewer mentioned, it's repetitive, and it states the obvious quite a bit. The first part is better than the second part...the organization seems to "fall apart," and the information isn't as specific or helpful as I thought it would be.

This book is like sharing advice with a girlfriend. She can be a little repetitive, but I understand she's just trying to get the point across. Overall I like it, and would recommend it.
