Book Reviews of The Lucky Shopping Manual: Building and Improving Your Wardrobe Piece by Piece

Book Review: Worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars

The Lucky manual is a helpful tool for pairing shapes of every piece you can buy for your wardrobe and does not limit you to the time when the book was written. I would have liked to see a section on coordinating fabrics like: What in the world goes with a linen skirt besides cotton? And maybe a little more guidance for getting color and pattern combinations right.
