You can put fashion in its place, making it a tool for your personal and professional growth, and save heaps of money at the same time. The woman with personal style can wink at the fashion world. Her clothes flatter her and boost her self-confidence because she knows the difference between style and fashion. It s So You! helps you think through your own fashion needs, to become a woman whose dignity and elegance command respect. Mary Warren demystifies the world of haute couture while teaching you to distinguish general fashion from individual style.

Through a step-by-step process of self-analysis, you will articulate your personal style. Warren guides you through the key Fashion Moments of Truth and explains the elements of style body type, palette, wardrobe planning, accessories with well-organized explanations, instructive charts and illustrations, friendly anecdotes, and answers to frequently-asked questions. The result is a fool-proof Style Profile to take you through every season and situation. And you ll have the cleanest closet of your life. True success in personal style is not self-serving. The legacy of style that you leave to your daughters and friends will inspire them to look and feel their best.
