Dressing Smart in the New Millennium
Dressing Smart in the New MillenniumThis book single handedly sums up must of what I have learned from the many books I've studied on fit,fashion, color and wardrobe analysis.I am in agreement with so much of what she writes. If you need pictures, this book is not for you. However, if you want good, useful information you need to rush out and get a copy. Don't let the 2000 copyright bother you, truth is eternal. If you should find outdated material, let your common sense prevail. I have purchased many books on dressing with style (and paid a great deal more for some) but I can honestly say that I have not found a better guide to dressing smart with great style. Joanna Nicholson out did herself with this one. I consider it an excellent addition to my collection. Joy
Dressing Smart in the New Millennium
Back in my school days, I used to envy the girls in my class who had big sisters. Usually, these girls were avoiding the klutzy mistakes the rest of us made because their older sisters told them the pitfalls to avoid and what to do to be the coolest of the cool. In her book "Dressing Smart for the New Millennium," author and image consultant JoAnna Nicholson becomes that cool, hip and in-the-know big sister for those of us who are clueless about what looks fab and what looks drab, what looks chic and what looks cheap and what looks terrific and sexy as opposed to terrible and sleazy. And, the best news: Nicholson promises us that we don't have to be skinny little supermodels to look sensational. No matter what our weight, height, ethnic group or appearance, she has the fashion and make up tip to make us look like a million dollars -- and often, we don't have to spend a dime on our wardrobe to do it. She tells how to mix and match jackets and other separates so that one outfit can be worn a jillion ways and gives tips about how to look great even at the end of a busy day. Did you know that you can keep your lip color from wearing off at a meal? Simple: just use a lipliner pencil as a first coat underneath your lipstick; when the latter wears off the undercoating will show, making you look like you still have lipstick on. Why didn't I think of that? And by using shoulderpads and "pegged" skirts -- straight skirts that are narrower at the hem than at the hips -- you can look more slender even after the extra holiday pounds. Who should buy this book? You should, if, in the author's words, you wouldn't want your favorite movie star to see you as you are right now. She tells us not to leave the house in "grubbies," because you never know who will see us looking our worst. Nicholson says that even royalty has asked her what she does to look so good. After trying a few of her tips, and getting more compliments than ever before, I believe it. Before you go spend a mint on a new outfit, invest in this book. It could save you from making a fashion mistake. And, who knows, it could turn a few heads.

Dressing Smart in the New Millennium
This is the first time I've ever written a review, just like it's the first time I'll sit right down and order more copies of a book I just read as gifts for my friends. It's truly an easy (and fun!) book to read, and the tips given in the book are easy to implement for instant results. I'd recommend it to any woman who wants to look her best without "making a career" of it. Fun and fast way to dress for success in this day of "business casual." Highly recommmended!
