This author advocates steering clear of brown shoes as they are "not versatile." Anyone who says this is not qualified to give fashion advice to anyone. Brown is the most versatile color there is, can be wonderfully antiqued, given all sorts of depth and character. If it's classic style you're after rather than trendy Kenneth Cole rubbish, do not listen to this woman.

This book is chock full of material that has been seen by this reader many, many times. I find it to be quite ordinary and it was torturous reading to say the least. There is not a single fragment of original thought to be found here and from a mans' point of view you could learn more by simply flipping through the pages of a GQ magazine.

Lauren Solomon takes the reader through a step-by-step process of examining and managing image for work, pleasure, and home.
This simple and very easy read/workbook can help many out there. As someone that already has a pretty good sense of my own style/image, this book still gave food for throught and many suggestions that I will implement.

What a great management tool to share with your team (sales and others), thoughtful gift for a newcomer to business or someone that wants to move up, or simply for your own self development. Even if you get only one new idea to take action on, it's still worth the $$$.

This is a great book to get your mind thinking about how much your image really does matter. It is clear and concise and provides a foundation for you to do further exploration in any area you find interesting. I praticularly enjoyed the sections on the "closet cleanse" and "your propellers, maintainers, and drainers". It has more than the usual wardrobe advice, it includes life living concepts that you can embrace now.

Of particular interest are the recommended books for more inspiration discovery and ideas. I have read a few of them that provide more in depth information on the topics that are of special interest to me.

This is like having a best friend who is an image consultant! Finally, someone who gets it and writes about image and dress like I would want it told to me. Lauren Solomon gives down-to-earth advice that I can really use. She dispenses useful advice and real-life case studies in a fun, easy to read book! I love it. It has now been added to my list of books to get all my business colleagues and friends!

Its not always easy to let somebody "repolish" your image.
Either because of our own beliefs or sacred egos.
Lauren Salomon is a truly listener that learn to know your personnality and know what fit you best.
Her international experience will also provide you with accurate advices when it come to traveling or doing business abroad; Something that many lacks when it come to dealing with international business or just culture behaviors.
(who doesn't have a story to tell their embarassement in a situation where they didn't know what to do?)
Lauren Salomon is here to help not to serve her own image.
If you have to listen to one image consultant I would recommend you to read her book for cover to cover.

The author, Lauren Solomon, was interviewed on CNBC Thursday, August 7, 2003.

Author gave advice on the importance of being well-groomed when going on a job interview. Author indicated that face, hair, facial hair (!), fingernails and shoes are sure to be noticed at interview.

The folks at CNBC must think Lauren Solomon's advice is sound or they would not have bothered with the interview.
