A friend recommended it and I'm curious about opinions of it.

Here it is at Amazon, but the price there is insane:

I have never heard of this...but why are the prices so astronomical ? Is is some sort of cult favorite or very rare ?

? I have never heard of it, Brenda. Can you borrow it from your friend before buying?

I don't know why the price at Amazon is so high. It's not bad if you buy it from the author (first link). I just hoped for more input before I put $20+ books towards another fashion book.

My friend who recommended it doesn't actually own it or I would see if I could borrow it.

Is it available within your library system ? I am really curious about it now.

Nope, my library doesn't have it. The reviews on Amazon are all really good so I'm very curious. I wonder if Angie has seen it.

So many of these wardrobe/style books have similar titles. But I've never heard of this one.
I see she has the reader fill out questionnaires and then it reveals what type you are.
She seems to use 4 style types: casual, romantic, expressive, can't remember the other.
Problem with questionnaires is that you get an answer based on predetermined categories she's limited you to.

Plus expressive could mean anything from my edgy looks to Heather's more Anthro-centric looks. Also what's wrong with trends?

When I first saw the title of your thread, I thought yes! But we're not talking about the same book. I read this one, something completely different, of course.

I just checked eBay and a few other sites, but there's no sign of it there either, sorry Brenda.

Hmmm. I wonder if the price is a typo?

I have not read or seen the book. I am VERY curious.

Angie, there are often outrageously priced books on Amazon. Sometimes just because out of print and sometimes, as with Simple Isn't Easy for awhile, because there was notoriety, such as over how the author died from liposuction, I think it was. Doesn't mean anyone is actually going to pay those prices.

Must be a typo on Amazon 'cuz it's $20 on her website (http://www.isyfashion.com/gallery.html). Including shipping.

Hi Brenda,

You can read a preview online at Google Books, it has the first 72 pages...

Here's the link:

Inge, that first book by Tea ( ? ) looked interesting to me too.

So I'm home sick and read most of the preview (it's more like random pages). It is VERY conservative. Advocates monochrome dressing. She does not like the bikini at all. It may work for some, but definitely not me. She's definitely not like Angie, I don't see a fun element.
