This book was one I found over a year ago at a local bookstore when looking for a guide to fashion do's and don'ts. I was pretty impressed when I saw the contents of the book Before you Put that On by Lloyd Boston. First of all, let me just give you a little insight on who Lloyd Boston is. He is the former art direction vice president for Tommy Hilfiger, is currently the on-air fashion editor for the Today Show and has worked with THe View, Oprah, and CNN. He is also the author of a few fashion books he has written over the past few years. With that being said, he has uncovered a day to day manual that gives you tips and tricks on how to dress your best 365 days of the year. In this book you will find ideas on how to dress for your body type, solutions on going from day wear to night wear in minutes, tailor tips, advice on accessories, and ideas on how to build a "user" friendly closet. Sometimes when I shuffle through the pages of this book trying to find a tip I can use for the calendar date at the moment, I find that maybe he suggests a scarf that is of a warm material to accent your neck when it's May. Of course this may not fly in Texas since the month of May is usually scorching, but if I am going to be in a well air conditioned facility for the majority of the day then I may consider it. If not, I opt for the alternative accessory, shoe, handbag, hat or what not. All in all, this book should be in every woman's collection. Anyone of all shapes, ages, & styles should grab this reader. It's well worth it.
