1.0 out of 5 stars less than expected, March 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant Style: 500 Professional Tips on Fashion, Beauty, & Attitude (Paperback)

this book didn't provide as much information as i had hoped. the tips were about one sentence each and many were platitudes like, "self-confidence will always help you look better." if you want sound-bites, this book might be for you. but if you're looking for a current style guide that actually walks you through different aspects of putting together a workable wardrobe, keep looking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sound-bite grooming and style hints, February 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant Style: 500 Professional Tips on Fashion, Beauty, & Attitude (Paperback)

I was expecting coherent style advice for professionals, but this is more of a 'Heloise's Hints' for dressing. Some of them have value, but it's not any sort of cohesive program for updating your 'look.'

5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem filled with useful information!, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant Style: 500 Professional Tips on Fashion, Beauty, & Attitude (Paperback)

This little book is chock full of useful information - hints, tidbits, common sense, and interesting suggestions for improving your appearance and your life. It's also an "easy read" - you can read an item, a page, or the entire book as your time permits. Definitely a good purchase - a wealth of information for a cheap price.
