Product Description
Getting great style can be as easy as looking at it!
Your daughter and her friends are so modern, fresh, and hip in both their casual and more dressed-up outfits. Guess what? You can update your look by stealing some inspiration (and some clothes!) from them for a whole new forward-looking, timeless, and youthful wardrobe.
Nationally known style consultant Sherrie Mathieson shows you exactly how to take the best and most appropriate ideas from the younger generation—for every occasion. You’ll recognize some of your own fashion mishaps in the “before” photos of real moms. Gorgeous, easy-to-translate solutions follow in the “after” redos, where these moms and their daughters appear in outfits that are perfect fits for both parties (complete with advice on what they can swap!). Bringing the fun and bonding back into dressing, this book shows how you can return the favor by sharing the best of your own closet with your daughter.

Sherrie Mathieson is brilliant, 15 April 2009
By M. Lewis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steal This Style: Moms and Daughters Swap Wardrobe Secrets: Looks That Make Hip Classic and Classic Cool (Paperback)
You need to know that I am a major fan of Sherrie Mathieson. I wore out her last book. I have been to a number of her lectures and enjoyed every moment. I even had the good fortune to once have her in my very own closet, separating the good from the not-so-good from the outright awful.
My expectations were high when I learned she had a new book coming out and I was not disappointed. The models are real women of all shapes, sizes, and ages. They look like people you and I know and love. Good people with family to care for and lives to lead. And they look fabulous. Every one of them.
Sherrie not only styles the women but offers comments on important details to note and how those same principles can be applied as you plan your own wardrobe. The photos are so beautiful you'll be tempted to just browse through but please, don't stop there! Take the time to read the text and you'll come out with a whole new level of understanding.
Yes, Sherrie Mathieson is brilliant. Don't overlook this book. And while you're at it, buy her last one as well. You won't be sorry!

Fabulous!, 20 April 2009
By Connie Nunez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steal This Style: Moms and Daughters Swap Wardrobe Secrets: Looks That Make Hip Classic and Classic Cool (Paperback)
I love Sherrie's style advice, and was counting the days for her new book to be released. I wasn't disappointed. If you're a boomer who wants to stay (or become) simply cool, chic, and sophisticated--buy this book...and you don't need to have a daughter to love it-I don't!
Sherrie uses real women with "never cool" outfits you'll see in your own office or on the street. The "forever cool" changes are dramatic. Want to see a 63 year-old woman lose 20 years with a change of clothing? Check out pages 49 and 147. I'm not kidding.
Sherrie has a unique voice in a world of style opinions, and I love listening to her. Instead of being confused over the latest trends, read this book and learn about timeless style that is really (forever) cool.

Masterpiece of style info!, 16 April 2009
By Karen Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steal This Style: Moms and Daughters Swap Wardrobe Secrets: Looks That Make Hip Classic and Classic Cool (Paperback)
Sherrie has done it again, and this time, in her second book, shows women "of a certain age" how to translate youthful looks in an appropriate way, so we look terrific without looking like we are trying too hard. Straight forward but lovely photos show clearly what works and what doesn't - and the streamlined but pointed (and amusing) text explains why an item or outfit works (and why others definitely do not work). Fun to read, but oh so information, STEAL THIS STYLE should be in every woman's walk-in closet. Don't get dressed without it!
Listmania!
