Synopsis

Imagine owning the perfect wardrobe. It's easy with Dressing Nifty After Fifty, the definitive guide to a simple, stylish wardrobe.

Just as one size does not fit all, one wardrobe does not fit all. Unlike any other wardrobe book, the process outlined in Dressing Nifty After Fifty is highly individualized, asking the reader to start by making a list of her activities during a typical 14-day period. Next, she'll discover how to build a wardrobe on three basic colors, enhance her body shape with clothes, look thinner and taller, add spice to her outfits with her most flattering colors, and combine comfort and style with her shoes. To help the reader complete her ideal wardrobe plan, tips are included for closet cleanup, clothing maintenance, shopping, grooming, travel, and ways to stay gorgeous as time goes by.

By adopting this system of dressing, the reader will have a wardrobe for all of her activities. She will find that by concentrating on the quality, rather than the quantity, of her wardrobe, she will love and wear everything that she owns. Most important, she will gain a sense of control over her life, giving her the freedom to spend her energy and time on the things she wants to do and the people she loves.

From the Author

This book is for any woman who wants to create a simple, stylish wardrobe for her prime-time years. Perhaps you are fortunate and already know how to assemble the ideal wardrobe. For me, it has been a real challenge. For most of my life, I have been confronted by that eternal mystery: a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

When I calculated a few years ago that the amount of clothes I owned was increasing each year by geometric proportions, I made the decision to get real about my wardrobe. Although part of me wanted to keep on buying more, I simply was tired of owning so many clothes. I hated to open my closet door and see my pretty clothes crammed together, some with their price tags still on, waiting to be worn. I became determined to have a closet with only those clothes that were suitable for all of my lifestyle needs and, at the same time, fashionable and up-to-date.

My challenge was to develop an effective, easy way to figure out exactly what clothes I needed and how to be in style without sacrificing comfort and fit. After some painful years of many trials and errors, I came up with a foolproof system to create a simple, suitable, and stylish wardrobe.

And so can you! If you follow the step-by-step process outlined in Dressing Nifty After Fifty, you can have the perfect wardrobe that takes you anywhere for any occasion.
