Jennifer Baumgartner
Most every woman has found herself with a closet full of too many clothes or surrounded by brand-new items that somehow never get worn. Instead she gets stuck wearing the same few familiar pieces from a wardrobe that just doesn't feel "right." Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner argues that all those things are actually manifestations of deeper life issues.What if you could understand your appearance as a representation of your inner unresolved conflicts and then assemble a wardrobe to match the way you wish to be perceived? In this fashion guide that is like no other, Dr. Baumgartner helps readers identify the psychology behind their choices, so they can not only develop a personal style that suits their identity but also make positive changes in all areas of life.

"<strong>A different take on identifying style</strong><br/><br/>Another book on style that I really enjoyed. The author is a psychologist who helps women identify their wardrobe issues as symbolic of other issues they may need to address in their lives, such as a woman whose wardrobe screams with expensive designer logos as a way to prove her worth as a person (to herself, more than to anyone else). I skimmed several of the chapters that addressed issues I don't have (not big on expensive designer logos myself), but found some interesting insights in chapters more relevant to me. This book is not a list of what "every woman needs to have in her closet"--I've tended to find those lists only marginally helpful anyway as each of us has unique wardrobe needs. Instead, this book is an excellent way to look at your style as part of who you are as a person, and how addressing issues "from the inside out," as the author says, can help you put together a wardrobe that really reflects who you are."
