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.

Summary of Closet Smarts: Flatter Your Figure with the Clothes You Already Have

Short-waisted? Wearing a low-slung belt the color of your pants or skirts lengthens your waist like magic.
Chunky calves? Avoid capri pants and mid-calf skirts like the plague.
Poochy belly? A V-neck top will bring the eye up in the most flattering way, as long as it doesn't cling.
And hundreds more tips keyed to your figure and how to make it look its best!

Finally, the real secret for looking thinner without dieting or exercise! It's all about what you wear. In this book, women will learn how to analyze their figure strengths and weaknesses and play up their good features while minimizing their weaknesses. They'll find out how to choose the colors that flatter them most and find the clothes that will look great on them as well as avoiding clothes that will look awful. Shopping for clothes will never be a dreaded chore again!
