Editorial Review:
It's the real thing. It's about getting your life together. It's about looking damn fine. It's about man handling. It's about the casa question. About solitude. About stain removal. Whether you're a young woman just out of school and starting a career or a harriedly successful thirty-something, if you're still wasting time looking for stockings that match or struggling to keep on top of credit card bills, you need help. And not a glossy monthly's unattainable idea of help, but the stuff that works--the nuts and bolts. Anna Johnson's Three Black Skirts is the book that delivers. In a voice that's knowing, smart, hip and funny--and with the author's own retro illustrations to match--Ms. Johnson cuts right to the core of the chaos that passes for life today and shows how to find order, balance, fulfillment. She covers it all: health, dating, career moves, finances, entertaining, body image, sex, and, of course, the indispensability of owning three black skirts. She offers the twenty basics for money management, and three keys for shopaholics to gain control over their passion. A workshop to build better food habits. Ten ways to get to sleep. Dress codes to the major cities. A Schmoozer's Guide to Compliments. Principles of Modern Courtship. And everything in between, from an extensive stain removal chart to eleven ideas for reawakening your spiritual life.

Rating: - So Much More
This little book is so much more than a how-to-dress manual. Style is about so much more than clothing. I knew when I read through the Acknowledgements section in the preface for this book that it was different - how could it not be when the author is thankful to Thich Nhat Hanh, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits among others?
I found so much inspiration to gently, effectively love myself right now in this book's first chapter that I could hardly put it down, but had to. It seemed as if ... Read More
Rating:  - Safe gift for someone you don't know well
It's hard to understand who might benefit from buying this book for (probably) herself. It comprises a series of vague exhortations to do this or that (such as change the makeup you use as you age) in situations here or there, with an extreme dearth of specifics.
There was a lot of information here that was new to me (e.g., how and why to hand bias-cut clothing in a closet), but I suspect that most of the information was new for me because I'm a man and do not often deal with many of the issues ... Read More
Rating: - Enjoyable, light reading
This book has some wise advice in it, and I refer to it often. I've owned it for about 5 years now.
I wouldn't recommend this book, however, because there are some things in it that I feel are inappropriate. I did physically remove one entire chapter of it, so that when someone pulls it off my shelf and thumbs through it, they won't be offended as I was when I first read it (though, I must confess that most of the books of this genre suggest or even encourage irresponsible behavior). I also ... Read More
