 This is not a 5-star wardrobe book... August 22, 2008
Fashion Maven
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
This book is surprisingly light on useful information. I only picked it up because of a feature in InStyle Makeover magazine. I was impressed by the little tidbits of information the book author provided. But the book itself was a HUGE disappointment. I expected to see more information on how to really make the most of your closet space, as well as restyling clothing and seeing your old clothes in a new light. It had almost zero content concerning truly 'shopping your closet'. I'm befuddled by the high reviews - it makes me believe the reviewers are all friends of the author and therefore unobjective.
Save your money and purchase Closet Control by Barbra Horowitz instead. It's far more comprehensive and covers everything this book does and so much more. I found it in a bargain bin and if I'd realized it was superior before buying Shop Your Closet, I could have saved a lot of money.
 Greatest book for organizing your closet! May 22, 2008

This book is fabulous for anyone that has been hoarding clothes and has lost track of what is in their closet or for anyone that has limited space. Melanie provides tips for organizing your closet in clear easy steps with pictures and diagrams and gives you the motivation and guide to stop procrastinating. I loved the tips for keeping clothes in their best condition and for travel. Her advice can easily be used in other areas of the home that need organizing also. Particularly her travel/packing tips are helpful, practical and realistic! I highly recommend it!
Should Be Called "Go Out and Buy a New Closet" September 3, 2008

I was looking forward to reading this book after learning about it from some fashion magazine, but I unfortunately I have to agree with the other negative review on here. (I'm surprised there's only 1 so far!) I too am unsure what the other reviewers are raving about...
Here is the synopsis of the book:
- Throw out or donate a lot of your clothes
- Make a list of every clothing item you owe (who has time for this?!)
- Go out and buy yourself a whole bunch of new clothes
- Build your own shelves to organize your closet (I, for one, cannot build my own shelves)
The book re-hashes a lot of old/stale advice such as throwing out clothes you have not worn in a year, not using wire hangers, folding sweaters, not keeping your clothes in plastic from dry cleaners, etc. There are a few useful sections, such as advice on packing for a trip, and instructions on selling old clothes on Ebay (although nowadays it's almost impossible to sell clothes on Ebay unless they're designer duds for a deep discount price), but overall, this book was a waste of my time.
Wrong Title for this book September 14, 2008
D. Inman (Tampa, FL United States)

I must admit I was rather disappointed after reading this book. I bought the book with the intention of the title "shopping my closet" and instead found the author going through giving the basics of organization of not just a closet but other household areas. While her writing style was light-hearted and fun, I wouldn't recommend this book if you are someone who feels they have a closet full of clothes, shoes and bags yet never the right thing to wear as this book does not help you with that. I would recommend The One Hundred by Nina Garcia or for a good organization book, Peter Walsh's books.
The Motivation You Need to Organize That Closet! May 19, 2008
Hillary Hughes (Brooklyn, NY USA)

This book is just the ticket for those who need a little motivation and inspiration to get organized, de-clutter, and refresh their wardrobe. The book gives you the tools you need to clean out and organize your closet and wardrobe and to maintain it going forward. Like an organized wardrobe itself, the book is a very easy read with great illustrations, pictures, inset notes and anecdotes that keep you interested, turning pages, and inspired to view your closet and wardrobe in a practical manner. You'll learn how to take better care of your clothes and to abandon your pack rat tendencies for good! A very worthwhile investment.
