   Summary: Fun little book
I really enjoyed this. The bits of fashion history about the different pieces were entertaining. Ruben Toledo's drawings are fantastic - worth the price of the book alone. Let's be honest, this book isn't going to change the entire world, but it's enjoyable, educational, and sometimes that's just what you need. And I am so glad to have it!

   Summary: a must have
This is a simple, fun to read guide to looking fabulous. I have always struggled between being trendy and classic. Thanks to Nina's book, I'll have more confidence when shopping, knowing I can be stylish without breaking the bank.

   Summary: A must have for every woman
I think Nina Garcia hit a home run. This book is my new fashion bible. I love that she mixes up high end with reasonable prices and each of the 100 items can be bought at all cost points. Her tips are great and the illustrations are so beautiful.

   Summary: Entertaining Read!
I saw Nina Garcia on GMA and immediately got on Amazon to purchase this book. I enjoyed reading the book as Nina put it in a nice A-Z format as well as had colorful illustrations. It gave me some good tips on how to be more efficient in managing my style and spending money on essentials rather than filling up my closet with a whole bunch of clothes and feeling cluttered with nothing to wear. I found myself bookmarking several sections and jotting down my "wish list" so to better manage my own wardrobe. Many of the recommendations Nina has in her book are definitely high end (not for those on a limited clothing budget), however she does recommend things like Hanes white t-shirts and such so a reader can learn to splurge on the timeless pieces and budget for items that do not require you to break into your retirement savings. Having said that, if I would make any recommendation for Nina's follow-up book, I would recommend she break her suggestions for each category into a high, middle and low end price points where she can give readers recommended brands or stores within their budgets to find that classic bag, watch, black dress, etc.

   Summary: A closet full of clothes and nothing to wear....
This book is perfect for women like me with a closet stuffed with clothes and have a hard time putting an outfit together. I am relieved to read that I have quite a few of the classic Ms. Garcia recommends. I plan to make a list of the other items I think will work for me and carry it with me so I know exactly what to look for when shopping. Since I'm far away from a size 4, I think I'll forgo the bikini, white jeans and the stilettos. Many of the suggestions do fit in with the lifestyle of a middle-class suburban mom with two young children. (Won't need the fur or long gloves any time soon.)

Ms. Garcia's writing style is fun and easy. An enjoyable read.
