My Review: There were so many things I loved about this book! Ever wonder about those crazy fashion rules that you worry about breaking? No worries! I loved the section on how to be your own costume designer...searching out pieces that are you. Why follow what everyone in the world does just because it is the latest, hottest trend? Why not start your own just because it is all you?! This book gives you the bravery to do so! Did you know that you could be doing your laundry wrong? Keep those clothing pieces in perfect condition with a few rules in laundering. Need some hacks for clothing storing just right? It's in here! I felt the best part of the book was buying vintage and thrift clothing. I am a definite thrift shopper...it is the very best way to find great brands at a bargain price. You want to start with a plan before you get started. Figure out what you want ahead of time and head specifically for those items. Finding them will bring you to a great outfit! I could go on and on about this book, but I think I may start bookmarking my favorite pages!
