Book Description

March 2, 2006
At last, a revolutionary solution to the age-old quandary of too many clothes but "nothing to wear!"

Whether dressing for a date or an important work presentation, every day millions of women throw open their closets, stare blankly into the abyss, and mutter, "I've got nothing to wear!" despite the countless dollars they spend on clothes and accessories.

At once simple and unique, Nothing to Wear? reveals a stylish cure for the common closet, based on the five-step process that has made Visual Therapy(tm) a hit for more than ten years with fashion editors and clients alike. Walking the reader through the process of identifying her natural style (who she is and how her fashion "personality" aligns with the image she wants to portray), the book then helps her perform a thorough "love it or leave it" examination of her wardrobe, eliminating the old, out-of-date, too-tight, too-loose clutter and re-establishing an authentic sense of style-getting her into her clothes and out of the house looking and feeling like a million bucks.

This review is from: Nothing to Wear?: A Five-Step Cure for the Common Closet (Hardcover)
I have to agree with several of the previous reviewers who fault this book for being "light" on the information. I consider myself average in wardrobe knowledge and I really didn't learn anything new. It wasn't even presented in a particularly insightful manner. Some info was a good reminder, however, but plain stuff, like buying the right type of hangers for your closet.

I didn't appreciate their references to "this designer" or "that designer" when describing looks, because I'm not that familiar with them, and I would guess a large percentage of the American public is in the same boat. They also could use some pictures!! I know it puts the price of the book up, but BOY could they use some pictures (this bears repeating)!!

Save your money or look at this one in a bookstore because it's so short you could read it while standing in the aisles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for "normal" people too!, April 27, 2006
This review is from: Nothing to Wear?: A Five-Step Cure for the Common Closet (Hardcover)
I got this book from my mother who thought my wardrobe could use a pick-me-up--I'm a stay at home mom who wears a lot of t-shirts and jeans, but this book changed that. I really thought if I was just schlepping the kids around, I didn't really need to do anything about clothes, until it was Easter and I didn't even have a dress to wear to church. To say the least, I needed help, and I found it here--I took their little test, was surprised by the result, actually, and decided, well, maybe it is time to embrace that bohemian inside me and start looking the part. And it didn't break the bank, either--I'm taking the advice a few pieces at a time. It was fun to read and fun to implement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but limited, July 5, 2006

BG (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nothing to Wear?: A Five-Step Cure for the Common Closet (Hardcover)
I liked voice and intent of this book, and got some very good pointers, but overall, the content is thin. The most important tips can be read in the NY Times Sunday styles review of the book. Would have preferred the authors dig a little deeper into some of the concepts. For instance, I should clear my closet of things that aren't flattering. How about some hints to a great fit??? If I bought it, I probably already think it fits! Since most of us can't afford the authors' hourly consultation rates, I don't think they would have siphoned off a lot of their business by letting out a few more tips.
