Style Strategy

Glancing Girl here …

I’ve enjoyed Nina Garcia’s fashion advice and her work as Marie Claire’s Fashion Director and contributions to Project Runway.

I thought her books, The One Hundred and The Little Black Book of Style were so savvy and cute, I’ve gifted them at least five times.

Her latest book, The Style Strategy: A Less-Is-More Approach to Staying Chic and Shopping Smart, is right up my alley and her advice is spot-on.

Her advice includes the following points:

Take Inventory
Go through your closet taking note of what you have and what you need. Try things on, see what goes together and what doesn’t.

Make A Need List
It’s not a want list – it’s a need list. Write down what’s missing and keep it handy, so you can refer to it while shopping.

Invest In The Essentials
Don’t be hesitant to invest in pieces that will last forever.
