Whoa, it's been a
long time since I posted a review, but I've been busy. Today I'm reviewing two
different styling books.
The First Book
The First Book

What I Thought
A
Guide to Quality Taste & Style is a nice little styling book. It goes over
basic things to consider like cleaning out closets, shopping, and dress codes.
It was a considerably quick read. The information seems like a good starting
point, especially if you've never taken a good look at how you dress. I already
followed a lot of the advice presented, so there wasn't much new for me. However, I still enjoyed this book.
The
Second Book
Title: Plus Style: The Plus-Size Guide To Looking
Great
Author: Suzan Nanfeldt
Illustrator: Shawn Banner
Illustrator: Shawn Banner
Source/Format: Library Borrowed; Paperback
ISBN: 0452275962
More Details: Self-help, Style guide, Fashion
What I Thought
Plus
Style is a slightly long but informative read that covers measuring, style,
color, proportions, underclothes, and more. There were a lot of things that
were out of date, but it was still interesting to see the difference between
the style of today and that of when this book was published in 1996. Although some of the information was outdated, there
was still advice that holds true even today. For example, how certain lines,
shapes, or color combinations can move the eye towards a particular direction.
Even
though these are two very different styling books, I still found them helpful
and enjoyable.
I
give both books
Thanks
for reading.
