Product Description
What woman hasn't stood in front of a packed closet and thought, "I haven't a thing to wear." What she's really thinking, says Tracy McWilliams, is "I don't have anything to wear that looks good and makes me feel good." According to McWilliams, most women shop and dress from emotion. This book teaches them that they can dress logically with a bit of self-awareness and planning. This book defines the seven principles of good dressing - among them, Accessories Make an Outfit, Quality Never Goes Out of Style, Dress from the Top Down, and Visualize Yourself Beautiful - and explodes five clothing myths. In the process readers learn how to devise their individual, best dressing process, dressing plan, and dressing picture. McWilliams explains how to express inner beauty with smart clothing choices, without becoming slaves to trends that don't fit one's body or personality.

beauty is an attitude
by .. a reader (Oregon, USA)
A book on style that starts from the inside--yes, please! It's great to feel good in your clothes, but that's frosting on the cake. To feel beautiful inside and out takes so much more than a great scarf or well-cut jacket (fabulous as those are!), and this book is one of the very few that truly recognizes that. It's a shame that some people spend a huge amount of time and money on trying to perfect their outer image without realizing that there are people who feel (and are!) beautiful in thrift-store clothes and there are people wearing clothes from Vogue and W who feel flawed and ugly. This book goes much deeper than many books on style, and for that reason it's a fantastic addition to the books that focus only on fashion tips.
Sigh...
by .. Rae York (West Enfield, ME USA)
This book is o.k., just o.k.. The advice is fine but not revolutionary. There are other resources which can and do, cover the same subjects with greater clarity.
I recommend The Pocket Stylist which remains my all-time favorite (I am a bit addicted to books on fashion and style).
Better books out there

Too much psychology and not enough strategies...
Try "Ready to Wear", "The Pocket Stylist" or "Does This Make Me Look Fat?".
Great book!
by .. Thinkpad (NY)
This is a great book which will help you to re-evaluate your wardrobe and identify items which can work for you.
If nothing else it might help you get the strength to clean out your closet:)
Excellent - Highly recommended!

Dress to Express is an empowering book that shows you how to look and feel your absolute best. It gives you the tools to define the image you want to project, and then how to select the right clothing and accessories to suit your personality and body shape. It also helps you overcome all types of clothing issues, including our emotional patterns regarding clothing.
It's also such an inspiring book as the emphasis is just as much on inner beauty, confidence and self-esteem. I loved all the exercises and checklists throughout the book, especially the personality clothing types. The book has really made shopping so much easier and more enjoyable. I can't recommend it highly enough!
