Christa Weil is also the author of It's Vintage, Darling!, another book which was reviewed for The Lipstick Papers a couple of months ago. Secondhand Chic is just as good, and includes not only vintage, but also clothing you can find at consignment and thrift shops.
Personally, I am not into secondhand clothing, and the truth is that, because I have a really tiny budget, my wardrobe is far from perfect or complete.
However, this book is a treasure trove for clothes shopping in general, it's not only for secondhand shopping.
This is because it has excellent practical advice on quality indicators and plenty of guidance on personal style. For personal style, there is a section for every part of the body (e.g. Legs, general) with subsections (lower leg, upper leg, short legs, thick calves). Also, you can find ideas on what to wear at work, for going out and for casual style. And I love the caring for your clothes section!
The only negative thing I can find with this book are the illustrations. They are not pretty, just functional. Not unpleasant, but they don't contribute to the overall aesthetic appearance of the book!
Have a lovely weekend, always with beauty and a good book! xxx
