“I stumbled upon this Handbook when I was desperately searching for a way to revamp my wardrobe. I was tired of feeling like I had nothing to wear despite a closet full of clothes.”
“This handbook not only helped me identify my personal style but also guided me in selecting the perfect pieces that complemented my look. It's like having a personal stylist in book form to be honest! Now, I'm not only saving time and money, but I also receive compliments on my style regularly. Thank you for creating this handbook as it allowed me to transform my wardrobe and gain more confidence.”

“This is the best thing that I have read, when you mention the five colors, that just made so much sense.”
“I have my closet sorted by color already and even though I love many of the items, I stick to the same base colors. I don’t know why I have kept pushing myself to wear every color. This is very encouraging and will definitely help me move forward with my cleanup. I have recently retired, so this is the right time to make the change.”
