5.0 out of 5 stars Great recommendations on "building" a versatile wardrobe., May 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Looking Great (Hardcover)

Linda Dano does a great job of showing how smart it is to choose basic colors for your wardrobe and to maximize there. She demonstrates the numerous choices you have by choosing "simple" basics in quality fabrics, that you can then mix and match with many different accessories. I really liked how she spelled out and listed exactly what basics you need. I've followed her advice and have a very versatile wardrobe for under $2000. I'm sure it will last a long time, as well, as I purchased well-made, quality items.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Simplistic Advice, December 28, 1999

By 

a reader in Roselle Illinois - See all my reviews

This review is from: Looking Great (Paperback)

Although I found it a little frustrating that she took a one size fits all attitude to what a woman needs in her wardrobe, I still think the book is invaluable. She helps you build a core wardrobe in a timeless manner. I bought this book after having a baby and finding that my body shape had changed, I found great advice that helped me discover the most flattering styles for me, and stop wasting money on clothes that weren't quite right. She is a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book To Take With You When You Shop, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Looking Great (Hardcover)

I was apprehensive about buying a book done by a celebrity. Most of the time the information is useless for the average person. This book was well worth the money. She explains how to develop a great wardrobe without buying that many outfits. I hope she will do another book, because I for one will buy it.
