The BEST/ONLY read for those wanting to feel GREAT when you leave the house!,
I got this book as a gift from a friend who told me that I shopped too much! I am in the entertainment industry and seem to find myself shopping for every event I have though on an everyday basis I always feel I have nothing to wear. This book, which I read in one sitting, not only schooled me in what to wear for virtually every occasion, but also what to get rid of. I was able to dust off some items that I loved but never really knew how to wear and get rid of the old blah things that I hadn’t worn in years but was still holding onto. The section on undergarments was a huge help as I NEVER feel as though I have the right ones to go with my clothing. After reading this book, I took a small shopping trip to get a few inexpensive essentials that I felt I was missing, donated a bunch of my clothing, and feel that I now have simplified my wardrobe into some key peices that make me feel GREAT! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is sick of closet confusion!

|Frances,
From the fashion quiz (great place to start) to the purging of my closet of anything but 10′s (something I will do) the book is a wonderful resource of interesting ideas (the 5 piece wardrobe for travel), informative tips (never wear white to a wedding), and helpful hints (what should be your wardrobe staples). I recommend this book for anyone interested in looking their best. Bravo to Jill Martin for creating a 10.

|Fashion for Dummies,
This book held my attention from cover to cover. It was informative, practical and funny. I now have a list of clothing to buy that includes a man tailored white blouse, a black skirt and a black dress.
It had a great deal of background information about the history of fabric and clothing manufacture that I found fascinating. The chapter comics and quotes are entertaining.
I now see shopping as an organized rather than overwhelming activity. Fashion for Dummies made Common Sense as well as Fashion Sense and I truly enjoyed reading it.
I am now one of the Best Dressed to Be…
