Closet Confidential Style Secrets Learned the Hard Way, by Winona Dimeo-Ediger, Sasquatch Books, 18.95

Witty, wise and at times downright hysterical, this is a book for “real women with real bodies, real budgets and a real desire for style. Equal parts self-deprecating wit, fashion smarts and bargain-bin savvy, fashion blogger Winona Dimeo-Ediger covers everything from tops to bottoms to undergarments to help women become divas on a dime.” You’ll be laughing out loud while making mental notes on do’s and don’ts, whether you work in or out of the home—and be forewarned, she despises robes (except for “Notable Exemptions to her No-Robe Rule.) Read on for fun, fashion sense and all you need to avoid or rectify most fashion faux pas.
