Product Description:
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.

Ms. Richardson has written a book with excellent information about obtaining a classic wardrobe after 50. However, it was sometimes hard to believe that the book was written in 2007, as she uses terms like "Pantsuit", "Caftan" and "Washable Suede Fabric". EEK! So 70's and 80's!! I hope when she referrs to "Pantsuit" that most women realize yesterday that it means matching pants and a blazer. She also mentions "streaking" your hair. "Streaking and Frosting" also went out with the 70's and make you look VERY dated. Also please take her advice on shoulder pads very lightly - you don't want to look like you just walked off the DYNASTY Set! That said, her overall advice in paring down your wardrobe to more classic items and getting rid of tacky T's, Jogging Suits, and mini skirts is EXCELLENT advice. Nothing looks worse than an older woman dressing in skimpy, too tight or sloppy clothes. I would recommend this book for the closet cleaning, but please take the fashion advice lightly.

I always thought when a woman turned 50, her life would be less hectic, and much simpler. Boy, was I wrong! I have so many interests and activities, and a new boyfriend, that I barely have time to get dressed, much less going out shopping and knowing what to buy when I do. This book helped me so much. I like dressing in a classic style, with a touch of trendy, and I like being able to do it efficiently. I am dependent on this book to keep me on the right track. Being over 50 is awesome, especially since my new beau loves the way I dress now. How did I happen to acquire a new man, which isn't supposed to be easy when you're over 50? I followed the guidelines of Baby Boomer Bachelorette: How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die. So now I not only have sex, but I look good at the same time!

Dressing Nifty After Fifty addresses dressing well after 50 years of age superficially and not especially interesting or informative. I was amazed to find there was space dedicated to women our age who don't understand how to clean a closet. Save your money and perhaps dress simply in basic colors. Dressing Rich, a book written with the classy woman in mind is a far more indepth study of looking good at any age, and it was written in the early 80's, and stands tall 25 years later. Sorry Ms. Richardson, but in my mature and humble opinion, your book doesn't measure up to what I consider a worthwhile study of what looks good after 50 years of age. Susan,newly retired and always open to learn something new.

A back to basics for grownups. Very practical. However, if you still want to be a sexpot, you ought to go somewhere else for fashion advice.

Really very basic information if you do not have a clue about fashion, and need to start from square one! If you have some knowledge it gets pretty boring pretty quickly! Charla Krups book is much better.
