Editorial Review:
Famous for talking about things people think about but don't always say aloud, Brenda Kinsel tackles underwear, the booty, and the nightmare of shopping with kids — all while helping women make sense of the fashion world. She helps every woman have a healthier relationship with herself by taking a lighter look at hang-ups and a deeper look at fashion traps. This book takes 40 over 40 one step further, with more product information, more how-to specifics, more tools and interviews, and more expert commentary.

Rating:  - One of my favorite tools!
I pour over this book and another Brenda Kinsale title, "40 Over 40", twice a year at seasonal wardrobe evaluation time. Her advice is so solid, and her tone so supportive. My look has imporved greatly since I started studying her advice. My favorite is "Don't save anything for "best". There is no "best". Now I go a head and wear my nice clothes any old time and feel much better for it.
Rating:  - Where's your sense of adventure?
Women looking for "straightforward" advice will be disappointed.
If you can approach this book with an open mind, you'll have a lot of fun.
I really like the illustrations here and there, and especially the font Brenda used. It's easy on the eyes.
As far as the content, I'm fond of the "Fashion Calendar for Smarties" - a month by month look at what to expect in the stores each month. This is INDISPENSABLE.
I also love the "Fashion Feng Shui".

Rating:  - Waste of time and money
A book like this should be something you would keep and refer back to - this went right in my recycle bin. Extremely disappointing. The only thing that was new or helpful in the least was the suggestion to look for clothing in colors that were reflected in your eyes, hair etc. Other then that I cannot think of anything. Pretty much a waste of time and money. I felt the same way about her 'Over 40' book that I also foolishly bought.
Rating: - I truly hated this book and would give it a zero if I could
The writing style was so extraordinarily annoying that I found it virtually impossible to read. The few nuggets of good advice must be culled out of hackneyed, trite, tired attempts at wit. I found myself skimming the entire book searching for something worthwhile and find it was not worth the effort. If you were able to edit out the exasperating filler you might have the makings of a worthwhile magazine article.
Rating: - Bren's rules rule!
After I had open-heart surgery which put a 12 inch scar down the middle of my chest, my wardrobe needed a serious going over.This book was a terrific help.If you are looking for pictures of stuff to wear, go elsewhere, you won't find them here. If you are looking for substantial fashion advice for any age or era, check out this book.I rearranged my closet according to Bren's very simple system, and it was a revelation.Now, the author probably spends waaaa...yyy more on clothes than I ever would, ...
