"The Curated Closet" by Anuschka Rees

This is a necessity for ladies seeking to update their closet and wardrobe.  Unlike other books that are just full of fashion fads that are here today, gone tomorrow, this book focuses on the reader.  There are multiple prompts, quizzes, and activities for the reader to fill out.  Readers will analyze their current wardrobe, their body shape / type, their colors, their styles, and--most important of all--their lifestyle.  Readers will figure out what energy they want to put into the world and then how to build outfits around that.  There is an emphasis on making one's closet fit one's lifestyle.  In other words, if someone works at a corporate job five days a week and goes out socially once a month, it does not make sense to have more "going out clothes" than "work clothes".  As Rees says, one must shop for their real life...not their fantasy life.  The author also helps readers curate outfit uniforms, capsule wardrobes, essentials, basics, statement pieces, and more.  There is even a section on seams, fabric quality, fit, and shopping advice.  A curated closet is full of go-to pieces that can be worn in multiple combinations.  Don't waste money on fast fashion that wears out and can not be combined into multiple outfits.  Rees wants readers to curate a closet that is perfect for them.  I can not recommend this book enough!
