Book Reviews/Testimonials

“***** Enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50. Looking your best every day is just as important at 50 as it ever was in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or middle age. Fashion, grooming, and looking lovely is good for one’s self-esteem and confidence, socialization with others, and just plain getting the most out of what life has to offer us. In Dressing Nifty After Fifty: The Definitive Guide to a Simple, Stylish Wardrobe, Corinne Richardson shows how anyone on any budget can look nice, build up their wardrobe based on three basic colors, add zest to their appearance through the use of color, look taller and thinner with the right kind of apparel, combine style and comfort with their footwear, get the most out of their clothing budget, and simply 'stay gorgeous as time goes by.' Practical, sensible, economy minded, reader-friendly, and occasionally downright inspiring, Dressing Nifty After Fifty is enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50 who want to look as good sartorially as they did when they were 25!”
