No - please tell us about it! I have a bday coming up and I've already asked for the Kendall Farr book.... is this one worth asking for too?

Well I was hoping to hear from others before giving my opinion...

One thing that might interest you Shiny is that she is a Boston girl.

Here is a link to her home page

I'll get back to you tomorrow (Aussie time)

I started reading it through that link before I realized that it wasn't the whole book. LOL The beginning was interesting and if I see it I might pick it up.

I did too! The public library here has it so I 'll borrow it.

I borrowed it from my public library. Shiny I would rate it as more of a borrow and read rather than buy and keep book.
Hats off to her for using a real range of normal women in the book, and normal clothes to demonstrate her points. She goes through different clothing types, and how to wear them, rather than through body types

There are a few printing errors with photos in the wrong place ( that she mentions in her blog). I found a few of her "after" pics a little dowdy, but they were generally an improvement over the before. She appears to have written this before skinnies and leggings.

I would say for someone who has been following Angie's advice on YLF, this book does not have much to add. But for someone who is right at the beginning Closet Smarts would have much to teach them.
