Book #36: What You Wear Can Change Your Life

What You Wear Can Change Your Life


Title: What You Wear Can Change Your Life


Author: Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine


I must have missed the memo that dresses look great with pants worn underneath. And who knew that most women are not suited to wear black? Other than those few pieces of groundbreaking fashion advice, I wasn't all that surprised by the advice in What You Wear Can Change Your Life. Of course, I've been an avid watcher of the American version of the show for the last three or four years, so I'm all over the advice to wear color and wear things that suit your body and skin tones.


I was mostly impressed by two things in What You Wear Can Change Your Life-- first of all, that Constantine and Woodall model for the book themselves. Trinny is easy to hate-- she's supermodel skinny, but Susannah you've got to love-- she displays all of her real-woman body so we can learn from her mistakes and her successes. Secondly, they recommend holding a party with friends in which you bring clothes you like but don't suit you. You spend the evening trying on each others' clothes and trading around. Sounds like a party to me!
