4.0 out of 5 stars
Truly helpful, but ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dress Like a Million (On Considerably Less): A Trend-Proof Guide to Real Fashion (Paperback)
Feldon's book will help you to organize your wardrobe and make wiser fashion purchases, but much of her advice is predicated on two assumptions: that everyone looks good in black (not true and boring besides!)and that everyone should/wants to dress like Audrey Hepburn.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A tremendously useful and entertaining guide to style.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dress Like a Million (On Considerably Less): A Trend-Proof Guide to Real Fashion (Hardcover)
No silly formulas or color charts; just good common-sense solutions to finding your own personal style and building your wardrobe around it--while staying within a budget. This book is the closest thing I've found to a '90s version of an old favorite, Genevieve Antoine Dariaux's classic (but hardly timeless) style guide, "Elegance"--and believe me, I've been looking for one! Leah Feldon's writing is witty, interesting, and personal--and she really hits the nail on the head sometimes. Now I know why I do and don't like certain outfits in my closet, and have already figured out ways to salvage some good clothes that I've never liked once I put them on. For once I'm actually looking forward to shopping for clothes this fall, because I know what I'm looking for.

A Great Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dress Like a Million (On Considerably Less): A Trend-Proof Guide to Real Fashion (Paperback)
Love that this book is finally available in paperback. It was written a few years ago, but all the advice and tips really hold up. A classic---deserves to be in print forever! Contains totally useful information delivered in the same fun witty style as "Does This Make Me Look Fat?"---Feldon's latest book, which was featured on Oprah. Really helps you zero in on a personal style and get your wardrobe together. Highly recommended. I already own the hard cover, now I think I'll get a few of these for x'mas gifts!
