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.

Good useable information January 6, 2009
This is an informative book; I got some ideas from it that I will defintely try. It is a paperback printed on basic paper with simplistic illustrations...I enjoyed reading "How Not To Look Old" and "Staging Your Comeback" much more. I was probably seduced by their glossy paper, well-laid out pages, good photography, more visual examples, for just a few dollars more than this book. The other books also had chapters for make up, hair, etc. If you want a book that expands ideas specifically for wardrobe, I would recommend "Dressing Nifty After Fifty".
 "nifty" should have been a clue December 20, 2008
This book is for someone looking for a uniform -- not trying to develop her own style. "How Not to Look Old" by Krupp is a much better book for what I was seeking.
Not so Nifty December 3, 2008
I felt that while the advice was "safe" it was dowdy and in some cases frumpy. I think that there are better guides available.
 Good information - but was it really written in 2007? A bit outdated I think. August 17, 2008

Ms. Richardson has written a book with excellent information about obtaining a classic wardrobe after 50. However, it was sometimes hard to believe that the book was written in 2007, as she uses terms like "Pantsuit", "Caftan" and "Washable Suede Fabric". EEK! So 70's and 80's!! I hope when she referrs to "Pantsuit" that most women realize today that it means matching pants and a blazer. She also mentions "streaking" your hair. "Streaking and Frosting" also went out with the 70's and make you look VERY dated. Also please take her advice on shoulder pads very lightly - you don't want to look like you just walked off the DYNASTY Set! That said, her overall advice in paring down your wardrobe to more classic items and getting rid of tacky T's, Jogging Suits, and mini skirts is EXCELLENT advice. Nothing looks worse than an older woman dressing in skimpy, too tight or sloppy clothes. I would recommend this book for the closet cleaning, but please take the fashion advice lightly.
OVER 50 AND FABULOUS! July 18, 2008

I always thought when a woman turned 50, her life would be less hectic, and much simpler. Boy, was I wrong! I have so many interests and activities, and a new boyfriend, that I barely have time to get dressed, much less going out shopping and knowing what to buy when I do. This book helped me so much. I like dressing in a classic style, with a touch of trendy, and I like being able to do it efficiently. I am dependent on this book to keep me on the right track. Being over 50 is awesome, especially since my new beau loves the way I dress now. How did I happen to acquire a new man, which isn't supposed to be easy when you're over 50? I followed the guidelines of Baby Boomer Bachelorette: How to Have Sex at Least Once More Before You Die. So now I not only have sex, but I look good at the same time!
