Surprisingly good and useful

I ummed and ah-ed before buying this book, as a 3.5 rating isn't really high enough for me, but I think it deserves much higher. Amusingly written by a professional image consultant, it's full of useful tips. I am a slim, fit, fashion-conscious 43-year-old but I was still galled to see quite how many of the mid-life pitfalls I was falling into, particularly in areas like modern fabrics, vintage clothing and buying things that are only OK thinking I can 'fix' them to make them work. Although I don't fit into some of the personas Kinsel writes about (I'm not divorced, don't have kids and don't need clothes for work) I still found the book very good on our emotional relationship with our clothes and why, therefore, the garments we buy so often disappoint us.

GREAT ADVICE FOR 40+ LADIES

I enjoyed reading this book. It inspired me to clean out my closet, and get rid of some of the clothes I will never wear again. If you are over forty and want some interesting advice about clothes shopping and accessorizing get this book and any book written by this author. She is a brillant.

Huge waste of time and money!

Nothing new in this book! As other reviewers have said - a lot of rambling away from the topic of dressing to self esteem issues. If I want a self help book on that I will buy one. I thought this would give me specific fashion advice for the over 40 set. I like Stacy and Clinton's book much better!
