Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-06 00:00:00 Kevin Lansing A good companion to "What not to wear". I like their 'outsiders" assessment of American women and their dressing styles. As always, they are hilarious but ultimately kind which makes these style mavens the best among all style consultants. Their stereotypes are spot on and funny. They claim that only Americans have perfected the stereotype of the hippie earth Mother. It feels good to be unique. I cannot send my Trinny and Susannah books on to Half-Price books because the pictures alson are such good reference.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-14 00:00:00 Peter Christodulides This book is all about convincing you to want to dress in a flattering, tasteful manner -- and then offering suggestions about how to do so, based on how you deviate from that ideal. (The book actually goes so far as to make assumptions about your mental state based on your outfit -- then offers "Life tips" to help you overcome the depression / low self-esteem / workaholism they've diagnosed in you.) As I already aspire to dress in a flattering, tasteful manner, I found this book a bit like overhearing someone else's therapy session. I don't think I'm part the intended audience of this self-help book at this particular point in my life. I am doubtful whether I have ever actually assembled an outfit that would pass muster with Trinny and Susannah, but I do accept that presentation can be important and that (the right) clothing can be fun and empowering. So, if someone were indeed in need of convincing, would she happen to wander on over to the fashion section of the library / bookstore and pick up this book? I think not. This book is probably most useful as a gift, then -- just hope that you're inspiring rather than insulting the loved one you're hoping to reform!
