"How to Dress for Succes" by Edith Head

This is one of the few books that, while it has more words than pictures, it gets the message of fashion across rather well.  Edith gives age-old advice for how women can use their wardrobe to achieve success (whether that be in business, marriage, family, etc).  The tips are both practical as well as comical as Edith gives examples of outfits that scream success vs failure.  Readers will get an idea of how to start dressing for success by defining what it is they want, observing how others acts / behave / dress, analyzing their own bodies / shapes / colors, making an inventory of their closet, and so on.  There are even chapters on how to dress one's children and husband.  Overall, this book was such a fun delight to read.  Whether you like it or not, people will and do judge you based on appearances.  Why not use that to your advantage?  As someone who has dressed many famous celebrities, Edith can attest to the fact that even the most sought-after movie-star has her own flaws - she just dresses well enough to hide them while simultaneously drawing attention to her best features.  Pick up this short fun book today if you want to learn how to dress for success!
