CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Great book, but need some others -
This is a great book. It offers so many tips with drawings, examples, colors, dressing room tips and real people profiles so you can see what they buy and get your own personality ideas.
It's not so much to read (which is great) and has a lot of graphics, drawings and pictures.
As always, this book is not perfect; but I do recomend with this book the following:
1. The pocket stylist by Kendall Farr (absolutely perfect book BUT no drawings, so is the best complement with this book)
The Pocket Stylist: Behind-the-Scenes Expertise from a Fashion Pro on Creating Your Own Look]]
2. Color me beautiful by Carole Jackson (is an old book, not updated; but it gives the best advice in colors and optical illusion to disguise your figure)
Color Me Beautiful[[ASIN:1592400418
3. If you have those three you'll do great but.... What you wear can change your life by Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine (has a great color combination charts and excellent written humor... as Trinny & Susannah!)
What You Wear Can Change Your Life
This book is a 100% is you buy it together with the first two at leaset.
Hope you have fun with these books!

Fun, good read -
This book is great for building your wardrobe from the bottom up. It has everything from what pieces to buy, to how they should fit, to how to take care of and store your clothes. Theres even a section in the back of what to pack on a 3 day trip. The only con was there was little mention of accessories, belts, etc. However, now that the sequel "The Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style" is out, that book includes plenty of advice on accessories.

Excelente!! -
En general me pareció bueno el libro, pienso que es un básico que cualquier mujer debe tener, te ayuda a definir cuantas prendas y cuales son las necesarias para poder tener un guardarropa completo, además dan bastantes ideas acerca de como combinar una misma prenda para cada ocasión, tiene buenas imagenes y es muy colorido, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

If you need major help! -
This book is an excellent primer for those such as myself who may be slightly clueless on the fashion front. For me, it's a bargain alternative to a personal shopper (I wish!).

The book has loads of pictures that offer plenty of ideas for new outfits and spark your creativity. I like this book as it is not pretentious or condescending. The authors offer advice for styles that will bridge seasons and outlast fads.

I found the "build your wardrobe" and "in the fitting room" sections useful as well. This book does not go into vivid detail about body types nor is it the be all/end all. You could combine Lucky Shopping Manual with Pocket Stylist or The Science of Sexy and be completely educated.

Worth the money -
The Lucky manual is a helpful tool for pairing shapes of every piece you can buy for your wardrobe and does not limit you to the time when the book was written. I would have liked to see a section on coordinating fabrics like: What in the world goes with a linen skirt besides cotton? And maybe a little more guidance for getting color and pattern combinations right.
