Secrets of a Fashion Therapist: What You Can Learn Behind the Dressing Room Door

Secrets of a Fashion Therapist: What You Can Learn Behind the Dressing Room Door by Halbreich, Betty. paperback edition. ISBN: 0000060954930.

Getting dressed every morning probably causes more trauma than anything else we do on a daily basis. No one understands this better than Betty Halbreich. Shes seen firsthand that putting on clothes is as much -- if not more -- about the mind as it is about the body. Each day, her dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman is filled with women searching for something. They may think theyre merely shopping for a new dress, but as Betty knows, sometimes theyre really shopping for a whole new life. Whatever these women are seeking, Betty is sure to help them find it. With simple instructions and witty asides, Betty takes her experience out of the dressing room and puts it into readers hands. Follow her through the years and through the stores as she sheds light on such fashion conundrums as how to break up with the color black, what to wear on "Casual Friday," what "black-tie" really means and how to wear just about any accessory. Betty elevates shopping and dressing to an art form, yet she makes you realize how simple it really is to look fabulous. She is truly a fashion therapist, dispensing wisdom, wit and advice on how to enhance your natural beauty, build a more confident self-image, and, most of all, have a little fun while doing it.
