Book Reviews of Closet Smarts: Flatter Your Figure with the Clothes You Already Have
Book Review: A good start...
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this book was a good start to develop a foundation on the basics of appropriate shapes for different body types. I really liked that she used real people but at the same time, I didn't agree with some of her choices for these models. The book didn't address wearing proper foundations which is critical for everyday wear, and the color schemes were a bit drab in some cases. Stacey and Clinton talk about this ad naseum on their copycat show "What Not To Wear", it's not only about shaping as well as it is color too. I would recommend this but there are better books that go into greater detail about the shape of clothes, complementary color choices, and the importance of wearing proper fitting undergarments.
