So I started reading this book a year ago about having a perfect wardrobe. At least I thought it was a year ago till I looked at the year it was published which was February 2014. Apparently it’s taking me a lot longer to read this book then I thought. Granted I stopped reading it for a very long time, but still.
So the name of this book is — 10 Commandments for a perfect wardrobe by Lawrence Zarian. If you’ve ever watch Live With Kelly and Michael you know who this guy is. I wanted to read his book because I thought he was going to give women tips on what to wear and how to wear it. What colors would look good on different women and all that kind of stuff.
I got way more then what I bargained for with the book! The author starts his book out by telling his readers to take off all their clothes look at themselves in the mirror and tell themselves they are beautiful. The readers need to believe it when they say it to themselves as well. In all honesty I did my best to do this. I figured if I was going to read his book I should do what he tells us to do. It took me weeks and months to go from telling myself I look okay to not bad to pretty and then finally beautiful while looking at myself naked in the mirror. I actually meant it too! I think hearing my husband telling me how beautiful he thinks I am helped, but for me to be able to say it to myself was something else for me.
The next step that took me forever was getting rid of the clothes in my closet that I don’t wear anymore. I felt guilty for getting rid of them and I have no idea why. I FINALLY took those clothes out of my closet a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t feel guilty either. I felt refreshed. I knew all those button downs in my closet weren’t my style anymore. I replaced them with some tops I had in my drawer that I love and should be on nice hangers. Oh yeah, I bought nice hangers for those tops too, just like it was suggested in this book.
Just recently I bought a new dress. I would never have bought a dress like this before reading this 10 commandments book. However when I saw the dress it caught my eye and I decided to try it on in the store. I was amazed at how it fit me! It made me feel beautiful. I mean this was the first time in a long time I looked at myself in the mirror wearing a dress and thinking “wow I look beautiful in this dress”! I know for a fact if I had not read this book by Lawrence Zarian I would never have considered buying let a lone trying on a dress like that.
I really need to get back to reading 10 commandments for a perfect wardrobe . I’m also really thankful that I now have the courage to buy new clothes that I wouldn’t normally wear. My husband loves the new styles I’ve been picking out. My friends and family think the new clothes look great, but most importantly I like them and I think they look really good on me.
