"Dress Your Best Life" by Dawnn Karen

I've been waiting for this book to become available at the library and it finally did!  This book is all about the psychology of dressing and how fashion impacts one's emotions.  Besides the introduction--which I found incredibly sad--the book was rather fun.  It went into several psychological studies (backed up by references in the back of the book) about how what we wear impacts how we are perceived by others and ourselves.  It's fascinating what a difference in mood and success can come about from a simple change of attire!  What I really liked about this book were the case studies included from real clients.  Karen introduces her clients, analyzes their problems, and offers style solutions that anyone can understand.  From tops to bottoms to jewelry and accessories, this book covers it all.  As a disclaimer, though, I should point out that this book focuses on psychology rather than a one-stop-shop for fashion quick fixes.  Karen doesn't tell people what colors to wear or what latest trend to purchase.  Rather, she tells readers to identify their core values and wear what makes them feel happy.
