Book Reviews of Dressing Nifty After Fifty

Book Review: Good information - but was it really written in 2007? A bit outdated I think.
Summary: 4 Stars

Ms. Richardson has written a book with excellent information about obtaining a classic wardrobe after 50. However, it was sometimes hard to believe that the book was written in 2007, as she uses terms like "Pantsuit", "Caftan" and "Washable Suede Fabric". EEK! So 70's and 80's!! I hope when she referrs to "Pantsuit" that most women realize today that it means matching pants and a blazer. She also mentions "streaking" your hair. "Streaking and Frosting" also went out with the 70's and make you look VERY dated. Also please take her advice on shoulder pads very lightly - you don't want to look like you just walked off the DYNASTY Set! That said, her overall advice in paring down your wardrobe to more classic items and getting rid of tacky T's, Jogging Suits, and mini skirts is EXCELLENT advice. Nothing looks worse than an older woman dressing in skimpy, too tight or sloppy clothes. I would recommend this book for the closet cleaning, but please take the fashion advice lightly.

Summary of Dressing Nifty After Fifty

Imagine owning the perfect wardrobe. It's easy with Dressing Nifty After Fifty, the definitive guide to a simple, stylish wardrobe.

Just as one size does not fit all, one wardrobe does not fit all. Unlike any other wardrobe book, the process outlined in Dressing Nifty After Fifty is highly individualized, asking the reader to start by making a list of her activities during a typical 14-day period. Next, she'll discover how to build a wardrobe on three basic colors, enhance her body shape with clothes, look thinner and taller, add spice to her outfits with her most flattering colors, and combine comfort and style with her shoes. To help the reader complete her ideal wardrobe plan, tips are included for closet cleanup, clothing maintenance, shopping, grooming, travel, and ways to stay gorgeous as time goes by.

By adopting this system of dressing, the reader will have a wardrobe for all of her activities. She will find that by concentrating on the quality, rather than the quantity, of her wardrobe, she will love and wear everything that she owns. Most important, she will gain a sense of control over her life, giving her the freedom to spend her energy and time on the things she wants to do and the people she loves.
