Jane Segerstrom's Look like yourself and love it! by 13814313|Jane Segerstrom book cover

πŸ“˜ Jane Segerstrom's Look like yourself and love it!

I read this book back in the 80's and really enjoyed it. It is basically a style identification system based on the four personality types first mentioned by Hippocrates, renamed with more modern names like "Wonderland," "Camelot," "Atlantis," and "Olympus." It has color plates that you can use to clip out your own skin, lip, eye and hair colors: they can be used both to help determine one's best color palette with the book itself (there are plates for each type's color palette) and as a shopping tool for easily determining whether or not a garment is likely to be in a becoming color or not. Each type is also given a detailed list of styles that are likely to be becoming, types of fabric, accessories, hair color/style advice, advice on cosmetic colors and more. She includes advice on wardrobe building, advice on appearing on television, advice on limelight colors to wear, non-limelight colors to wear, colors that make you more approachable, and her plastic surgery story. She suggests the use of a paper doll (made from a photo of oneself) to help determine what shapes of clothing work with one's body type, and has a photo showing how she uses this tool. The color plates of skin, hair, eyes, lips makes this book unique among all the other style books I have ever encountered. Similar materials with interesting twists include David Kibbe's "Metamorphosis" - another dated book, with a different names for the different types/variations - and the more current work of Carol Tuttle, who wrote "It's Just My Nature" and "Dressing Your Truth" (she also uses different terminology for the 4 types, and reserves her clothing/makeup/hair/accessory advice for her online dvd courses).
