Well written if brief

Very well written. The chapters easily go by and the narrator is decent if a bit monotonous. The only complaint is cost for the listen time given.

Most insightful and inspiring book on style I have ever read.

Nina is funny through the whole book while offering history and practical up to date tips. This book doesn’t tell you how to dress but how to get inspired how to trust your own style instincts and realigns the reasons we want to dress well to begin with which is to feel confident and comfortable in the world living our rich beautiful lives. I love style books and capsule wardrobe etc. I want to be a personal stylist and women to find their authentic confidence which is why I’m consuming so many style books and content but this book reminds you to look outside of fashion for sole inspiration and beauty and inspiration is all around us. Love love. Can’t believe this book is free too. Thank you Nina -Eli

So enjoyed listening to this…it was fun and way too short! Well done Nina.

Unbelievably Bad

The book is simply a long list of trite phrases about things we already know.
