“confidence is captivating, powerful and it doesn’t fade, and that is endlessly more interesting than beauty.”
A petite, eloquently penned guide on fashion basics. Quaintly illustrated and dotted with quotations by famous designers. It prettily presents tips on how and when to wear an ensemble, clever combinations of colors & textures, finding inspiration for signature style, and quite a bit more.
However, my favorite theme was guidelines on projecting confidence onto your imperfections:
“I marvel at a six-foot tall woman in stilettos, a big bottom woman in a curve hugging skirt, a flat chested woman in a tight, low-cut t-shirt. When a woman embraces her imperfections, they can become her greatest strengths, definers of her character and spirit.”
Write that in lipstick on your mirror, and join me tomorrow for another addition to your nightstand.
Procure a book customized to your own fashion journey in a personalized fashion look book.
I have this book! I perhaps should reread it as it has some helpful tips.
I do not consider my big bottom an imperfection. ;-P Its intelligent design.
LOL. I do like this book a little. She had some fun little anecdotes in it. I think I prefer her other one – “The One Hundred”.
sounds delightful!
what a great quote. I think i should read this book!
,,,just checked this book out at the library (before reading this post),,,how ironic,,,indeed a must have book for my personal library,,,a great “personal stylist” at my finger tips,,,
My mom gave me this book in the combo pack with Nina’s One Hundred and I loved it! A great book on style.
My dear father-in-law always said, “If you can’t fix it, feature it!”
I loved that man.
I’m 6’1″ and love wearing heels. Not an imperfection but an asset to be shown off! (and, anyways, I’m so tall what’s another couple of inches?)
