review 1: Not as good as her second book. Notably riddled with misattributed quotes and silly tips of the hat to fashion rule breakers (Britney Spears? Really?). Still, it had its moments and wasn't a total loss. Most importantly, the book made me feel that all of the limitations of the physical world were stripped away opening a universe of possibilities before me. Because, in a world where Rachel Maddow is considered a "sexy" fashionista, what could possibly be unachievable?
review 2: I was surprised by how much I (as a non-fashion-person) liked this book. Nina Garcia writes with a style that is both authoritative and conversational, and both informational and mildly funny. The strongest section is the first, about how to dress in various work situations. (The part ... moreabout how to dress and carry yourself for a job interview made me want to go out and start becoming a high-powered business woman like, immediately.) It does eventually start to get repetitive, but it is a book that could easily be kept on-hand as a reference instead of being read straight through. This book made me wish that I had the money or the inclination to go shopping for new clothes, so I imagine somebody who already has either of those things would really enjoy it. less
