Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Expanding on Color Me Beautiful, Pooser here extends the seasonal color theory of dressing (depending on their skin tone, women fall into one of four categories named for the seasons: Summers and Winters look best in cool colors, Springs and Autumns should wear warmer shades) to include "flow" colorsrelated shades from all seasonal categories that can be used to accent basic colors. Also included is a detailed examination of clothing styles deemed suitable for various body types. The extensive amount of information, presented in charts and text, may overwhelm readers as they attempt to determine whether their bodies are straight, soft straight, sharp straight, curved or soft curved. But for those bored with each season's allotted hues, and for those who want help in choosing a wardrobe and don't mind spending a lot of time sorting out the data, Pooser's guide is full of sartorial advice.

From Library Journal

Written with the cooperation of Carole Jackson, originator of the Color Me Beautiful publications and consultants, this book expands upon the original theme, adding the concept of body- shape types to one's color/season types. As always, there are quizzes and sketches to help the reader determine her own type, and advice on how to take advantage of it. Pooser is very thorough, discussing clothing styles and accessories in great detail. Buy wherever CMB is popular. Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty. P.L., New Philadelphia, Ohio

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY color me beautiful book I actually use!, April 19, 2003
By 
This review is from: Always in Style With Color Me Beautiful: Your Shape, Youre Style! (Hardcover)
After reading the other Color Me Beautiful books and trying to determine my "season," I stumbled across this one at a library book sale. While the others left me in the dark, and even my friends couldn't determine where a very pale, brownish/reddish/blondish with gray/green/blue eyes fit in, this book made me realize I am a Clear Spring.

The color patches are very useful, and I've finally realized why a person with my coloring looks so good in some Winter colors, but awful in others. This book is a blessing for any person having trouble with the season concept.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed and Confused, August 17, 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Always in Style With Color Me Beautiful: Your Shape, Youre Style! (Hardcover)
Perhaps after reading Color Me Beautiful by Jackson I had unfair expectations, however, I feel that Ms. Pooser's work confused a previously workable system. She attempts to improve upon the concepts in the aforementioned work, but in doing so completely undermines the concepts that Color Me Beautiful are based on. What had previously been, to me, simple and effective became unwieldy and complicated. I recommend sticking to the original concepts and using one's own common sense about "bending" color rules. It should be common sense that there are some colors that could flatter a person that were omitted from preliminary lists-Pooser complicates that notion to the point that the advice is virtually useless.
