It is SO TRUE that we are being seen and evaluated whether we like it or not— may as well dress to win. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/book-review-2change-your-clothes-change-your-life#post-1924132 Thu, 31 May 2018 09:52:55 +0000 Anonymous 1924132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned a long time ago to alternate my reading. I started that when I realized all I was reading was newspapers or professional lit.<br /> Now for every fiction I try and read a non fiction. For every “ heavy subject matter” I choose a light weight. Fashion books always seem my light weight- they are easy reads, sometimes humorous and I always seem to get at least one tidbit or it raises at least 1 question in what I am doing wrong or can do better.<br /> Thanks to all who read my review and RACHYLOU- get back to me on your thoughts on the book. Since we all come to things with different experiences I always find people’s views fascinating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/book-review-2change-your-clothes-change-your-life#post-1924070 Thu, 31 May 2018 00:42:22 +0000 Style Fan 1924070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent review.&nbsp; I haven't read a fashion book in a long time.&nbsp; I will keep this one in mind when I have time to read for pleasure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/book-review-2change-your-clothes-change-your-life#post-1924059 Thu, 31 May 2018 00:16:23 +0000 rachylou 1924059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I downloaded the book.

He does wax philosophical at times especially in Chapter One :The Secret Language of Clothing like when he says ," The messages carried by your clothing don't only travel outward- they also boomerang their way back to you, affecting your deepest sense of self and identity."&nbsp; or "that you can use fashion to become present in your life".&nbsp; I felt he was speaking to me with his comment about&nbsp; "the eye prefers harmony&nbsp; or we let fear rules our actions or lack thereof".</div><div>Chapters 2 and 3 introduces you to his approach and offers checklists while Chapter 4 offers a tutorial on color for all you folks that find that is your weak area. Chapter 5 was somewhat disappointing but probably because this is my weak area- the closet. His suggestions were good but I felt like he could have gone into more depth. The remainder of the book speaks to shopping, grooming and becoming "the change you seek".</div><div>He warns of falling back on comfort zones and challenges the reader to always present a "perfect 10" whether at work or play. I should probably make up cards with some of his comments and hang it near my closet for pep talks.</div><div>All in all- I liked it as a fun fashion read to lead into Summer's heavier reads.</div><div><br /></div><div>My next review will be A Rees'&nbsp; "The Curated Closet."</div><div><br /></div><div>As always- this is my opinion and others may feel differently.&nbsp; Look forward to hearing from you and would love more fashion book recommendations from all of you!!!!&nbsp; Thanks!<br /></div> </p>
