A pretty useful book for those who wants to clean up their closet a bit and actually ending up having more to wear. Personally, I got rid of half the things in my closet and as a result I have a lot more to wear and also I stopped buying impulsively and filling up my closet with items I never wear.
Mistake number one for most women is that we do not always stick to our style when shopping for clothes. Some times we just like something, other times we cannot walk past a real bargain. Either way, we end up buying things that are not a part of our "signature" look.
This book helps you define your style, if you already haven't and encourages you to get rid of all the clothing that does not constitute your style "uniform".
The book presents you with 5 steps to improving your wardrobe:
1. Define your style
Five different styles are presented in the book:
Classic
Chic
Bohemian
Whimsical
Avant-garde
There is a style type quiz you can take to determine which style do you fit in with. One can belong to more than one type. For example one's style can be Chic-Classical, etc.
2. Edit your wardrobe - discard everything that is not your "uniform"
3. Fill in the gaps - build a backbone of your closet, the basics, and then add the "frosting", items beyond the basics
4. Put it all together - get out your digital camera and take pictures of outfits, build wardrobe capsules, photograph them etc.
5. Nurture the new you - instructions on how to care for your wardrobe, how to store clothes and such
Here is a sample inspirational board from the book:
