French Style: How to Think, Shop, and Dress Like a French Woman

Professor Henry Higgins had it all wrong in My Fair Lady. He tried to take a Cockney flower girl and transform her into somebody who could pass as a proper English lady by way of voice lessons, instruction in etiquette, etc. - oh, and by putting her in a fancy dress. All superficial things, slathered on like so many layers of paint, and none of them made her a lady. Why? Because Higgins continued to treat her like a flower girl. It was Higgins' friend, Colonel Pickering, who treated her like a lady from the outset, and ultimately it was this that ultimately made it all happen as planned.

Similarly, if you want to be as fashionable as a French woman, certainly you'll need to dress like a French woman, but the makeover absolutely will not work unless a similar change happens within to support the outer presentation: You have to start thinking like a French woman.

Unlike many fashion how-tos, French Style: How to Think, Shop, and Dress Like a French Woman doesn't stop with mere fashion advice but goes deeper, examining the mystery of why fashion does or doesn't work. Study it, and you too can begin to think like a French woman, shop like a French woman, and dress like a French woman. Oh, and it'll cost you, probably $100 or more, to snag the book. This kind of depth doesn't come cheap.
