Marlene A. Champagne said Five Stars. A GREAT fashion resource, thorough, yet SO FUN to read and enjoy!. Nice light read, but with some fatal issues Megan The premise of this book, which is explained within the first few pages, is that there are ceratin "rules" about what to wear when, but that you can break those rules.
