The great thing about this book is that it is very general about styles of fashion, which makes it applicable to everyone. The exercises at the beginning of the book, geared toward designing a wardrobe that fits an individual's lifestyle, also seem really helpful, if somewhat time intensive. The details at the back of the book about looking for good quality pieces are also very informative. The only possible downside is that it is perhaps too general - while the author does provide some examples of how to generate a personal style, come up with a color palette, and decide what pieces are necessary, it can feel really vague if you aren't following along and doing the exercises as you go through the book. Definitely a book I will be revisiting, though partially because I'm a stats junkie who thinks it would be fun to make a pie chart comparing my actual life to my wardrobe's theoretical function.
