The author, the style savant cohost of TLC's What Not to Wear examines the universal obstacles all women, including herself, put in their way. Now for the first time in print, she not only shares the principles of how to dress well, and why you should, but also examines the reasons why so many women don't. She moves beyond the often intimidating seasonal trends of fashion, which so often leave women feeling inadequate and judgmental about their own bodies, to the more valuable and enduring concept of style: a way to dress that enhances and celebrates who they really are. And she turns that expert X-ray insight on herself. In this book she shares her own often painful history and her philosophy of the healing power of personal style, illustrating it with a series of detailed "start-overs" with eight real women, demonstrating how personal style helps them overcome the emotional obstacles we all face. For anyone who has ever despaired of finding the right clothes, or even taking an objective assessment in a full-length mirror, this book is a guide to finding the expression of your truest self.
