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.

 Buy this book, invest in yourself. July 27, 2007
47 out of 50 found this review helpful
Many thanks to Ms. Richardson for writing this book. I would stare at the fashion magazines' outfits for women of different ages and could not decipher what the subtle differences were that made them age-appropriate. It was very frustrating but now I have her clear explanations to guide me. Particularly helpful were the clarifications of how much to dress up when (casual chic vs. dressy, formal business vs. casual business, etc.) and the two-color/three-color rules. Ms. Richardson takes one from almost getting a sometimes rigid dress code right to being spot on. Her logic is simple to follow and, more importantly, so simple to implement. A reader can take any one suggestion from this book and improve her wardrobe without spending a cent.
Simplify your life and look stylish at any age. January 2, 2007

I have been able to unclutter my closet of unused clothing and find ways to combine clothing and accessories I already own to attain a new, updated, stylish look. My husband and my daughter (my worst clothing critic) have already noticed how much better I am dressing. I am getting compliments at my office and more attentive and courteous treatment in stores and restaurants. My husband and I were even given a chocolate chip cookie as a special treat at a sandwich shop! This book is simple, customized and the principals apply to any age group.
Enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50 March 6, 2007

Looking your best every day is just as important at 50 as it ever was in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or middle-age. Fashion, grooming, and looking lovely is good for one's self-esteem and confidence, socialization with others, and just plain getting the most out of what life has to offer us. In "Dressing Nifty After Fifty: The Definitive Guide To A Simple, Stylish Wardrobe", Corinne Richardson shows how anyone on any budget can look nice, build up their wardrobe based on three basic colors, add zest to their appearance through the use of color, look taller and thinner with the right kind of apparel, combine style and comfort with their footwear, get the most out of their clothing budget, and simply "stay gorgeous as time goes by". Practical, sensible, economy minded, 'reader friendly', and occasionally down right inspiring, "Dressing Nifty After Fifty" is enthusiastically recommended reading for women over 50 who want to look as good sartorially as they did when they were 25!
 not so nifty February 6, 2008

This is a good basic guide for women who haven't given much thought to their appearance while taking care of everybody else. The author has laid out a simple plan for creating a wardrobe from scratch. But I didn't find the advice I was looking for. I'm 57 and have acquired a "menopause tummy" which complicates my inverted triangle shape. I didn't find anything here to help me shop for a better look. In fact, the author suggested a couple of styles for my body type that I know are unflattering and not what other style books recommend. When will we short chunky gals get our style guru? Truth to tell, I've gotten the most help from the television show What Not to Wear and a great book by Kendall Farr called The Pocket Stylist. I was hoping to find similar advice in this book, adjusted for an older age group. This book did not help me, but for a woman who is essentially clueless about fashion and needs good practical coaching to shape up, this one is for her.
The Perfect Guide to Stylish Dressing for the Mature Busy Career Woman January 8, 2007

My friends and I have found this book to be as good as we had hoped it would be. I have been personlly waiting for over a year for its completion and sale so that my friends could receive the benefits of this author's expertise that I have been receiving in personal acquaintance with her for many years. It is a valuable tool for older career women who must keep up with elegant style and have little time to spend on it.
