review 1: Quick read - read in a day without trying. The book basically says to declutter your closet and only keep outfits you actually wear and feel comfortable in. Good advice. I feel some closet purging coming on...I liked that when discussing dressing for various events, the authors broke down various styles into 6 options - classic, bohemian, preppy, fashionista, surfer girl and soccer mom. I am a mix of classic, preppy and soccer mom. I could scan for the styles that applied to me and easily disregard the rest.My biggest criticism was that some advice was too vague to be helpful. For example, early in the book the authors say to “consider your body type” when selecting clothes. It would have been more helpful to provide specific advice on how to do that. For example, if ... moreyou have this body type, consider X.Fast read, fun drawings. It did inspire me to weed some clothes out of my closest.
review 2: This wasn't a terrible read--very frothy, but funny in places--and there's a chapter or two of sound advice for purging clothes that don't make you happy when you wear them. Unfortunately, however, both authors direct most of their remarks to a very limited audience (wealthy, white, urban women with lots of time and inclination to shop upscale boutiques) without seeming to be aware that the book would be more helpful to the average reader if it took into account more budgets, skintones, body types, and geographies. The effect of all this is that the "what to wear" advice comes across as self-satisfied and a bit naive. less
