I liked:
The book is full of wardrobe ideas! For example, the same pair of brown trousers is recommended 3 different ways: with a tailored shirt and long cardigan for a casual job interview, with a long coat and a Kelly bag for a smart work outfit, and with a great coat to wear to a school play. Plus, that tailored shirt would also work great with jean-style cords.

My dislikes:
Not really any, as it was exactly what I expected.

Conclusion:This certainly isn’t a book I’d rave over. However, as I’m planning the garments I’ll make for fall and winter, it does have some inspiring ideas.

Would I buy it for myself? No. And I wouldn’t buy it for a beginner either. However, it is a reference I’d borrow from the library or bum from a friend.
