Very disappointing book

I felt like this book was a collection of tips and suggestions I've seen on TV. In fact, you're much better off watching "What not to wear". Honestly - buying this book was just a waste of money.

If you like thrift and 2nd hand stores....

I personally prefer to buy new clothes and not used. This book focused a lot on incorporating 2nd hand clothing. I'm so disappointed with this book, I plan on returning it!

Love It! Great tips even for pro bargain shoppers

The book is Okay...

I read this book in about two days. It was a quick read and she has some good tips for budget shopping, but I don't appreciate all the stuff about consignment shops, pruchasing off ebay and trading clothes. I will not buy used clothing, who knows where it has been or who the previous owner was....
