USER REVIEWS
"This book is a lot of fun. It gives permission to ladies who have said no to themselves while saying yes to others. Adaptation of beauty soaks to a more frugal lifestyle and paring down dates to real setting for a country girl was a nice exercise in creativity. I would recommend this book and if you have a BFF or Sister buy two and share the fun!"

"I have read quite a few books on cleaning out your closet and developing your personal style, but this one is the BEST by far! Brenda not only takes you through your closet but does some really fabulous advising about accessorising and making an outfit WORK! There is more to making an outfit work than just pulling some things out of your closet - and she shows you just how to get it done with "Beauty Bundles". She also covers color, body type, and age appropriateness of fashion. I would say that it is the very best of 5 or 6 other fashion books all rolled into one. An excellent investment for your personal style building! "

"The book is for women over 40, but you don't really know it till you start reading.
It has some interesting points of views on colors and accessories, but most of the advise are for the cooler times and i didn't find anything useful for the hot summer times..."

"If you're ready to take hours and hours to find your "diva style", this book is for you. I was looking for something that didn't require so much "homework".
The "spa" sections of the book I thought were ridiculous... like hiring a masseuse to come to your home to meet you and your friends for a "spa" day. I can't think of 1 person that has that kind of money to throw away.
There are several "assignments" in the book that really do help you determine your style if you need that kind of help.
The section on cleaning out your closet was a great help to me. Sometimes you just need that kind of kick in the pants.
I didn't care for her writing style. It was a bit too wordy and too "happy" for my taste, but others might enjoy it.
Some of the ideas for working with your body type were great for me, and proved very useful, and for that I am truly thankful. So while I didn't love this book, it was still quite helpful in the long run.

"I really wanted to like this book but it was not possible. There really is not a lot of advice about anything that is of any practible benefit, the first chapter says you can do the exercises in a week without ever getting out of your pajamas. Geez, that really has never been one of my goals. Not a word about what items to actually put together to make a comprehensive and fashionable look. Do yourself a favor and buy the much better "How Not to Look Old" by Charla Krupp. You will find you have spent your money to much better purpose."
