Building your dream wardrobe

Product Details

My closet, while somewhat spacious, is quite difficult for me to keep orderly and locate items I am looking for.  Let's just say it is a good thing I can annex the guest room closet for my out of season clothing.  Oh, and now that my kids are growing up and moving out, maybe I can move into their closets as well!

Seriously, I don't know that I could have defined my personal style before reading and working through the suggested steps. My daughter, on the other hand, has such a sense of style, she can make an outfit shine because she knows how to put things together and only wears items that fit her personal style regardless of what the stores tell us is fashionable for the season.  I love the fact that Rees suggests to only have in your closet things that you love 100%.  Am I there yet?  Absolutely not.  There are still items that I have around because they go with something I do love and fear I can't replace but I'm getting there.  This book is a process, not a task to check off after a day or two. 

From discovering my personal style to weeding, making the most of your shopping budget, and putting together outfits, you will find yourself motivated to get started.  This volume is certainly going to help with my personal goal to get rid of 1,000 items in my home and I suspect I will feel as if I have more wearable clothing after I  put it all into practice than I do now with more items in my drawers and closet.

I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.  Thanks Anuschka Rees for helping me figure out why I "never know what to wear" and then equipping me with the tools I need to do something about it.

  1. I think someone has plagiarized this review of yours. I also participate in Blogging For Books, and when I looked at this title on the site, I noticed this review: http://www.bloggingforbooks.com/reviews/view/76733 posted by Jasmine Martin alongside your review, with the exact same phrasing.
