Negative Positive
Title: Little of note here
Review: The fashion tips in this book are far from original. The tired ideas about wearing "neutrals" and "the uniform" have been presented in perhaps 95% of the books on this topic for the past 25 years. In fact, the truly fashion conscious among us are unlikely to find a wardrobe of black items and, of all things, white tee shirts to be appealing.Though, unlike many popular books today, Catherine's does not contain the "poor mes," the trendy, boring ideas about "self-esteem" (and the assumption that one who is large is lacking in same) are totally stereotypical and tired. One wonders if those with weight problems (with which I can empathise, since it is a lifelong situation of my own) will not stop to think that few genuine difficulties in any life were caused by, or would be decreased by, anything connected with one's weight. It would be far better if Catherine had dealt with fashion in itself, rather than flavouring her work with pop psychology which falls flat.
