Books That I Recommend (Reviews Below) 🌸🫶

Recently, I found myself wondering if my outfits are cohesive or interesting enough to bother posting (which is why there's been a lack of OOTD posts TwT sorry guys), so when I went into the library with a friend and saw these books on display, I knew I had to check them out and read them.

50 Ways to Wear a Scarf⭐️Overall rating: 4.5/5: Definitely going to try and get a copy for myself from my local used bookstore! I really liked these ideas and could see myself wearing a majority of these looks! There are definitely more ways to accessorise scarves than what you normally think, and this book does a wonderful job of showing that.

The Accessory Handbook ⭐️Overall rating: 4/5: I might not be getting a personal copy of this book, but even so, I think that this book was worth the read. I often find myself freezing up when thinking of how to accessorise my outfits and get myself in a cycle of belt, purse, earrings, repeat; however, this book was an eye opener on better ways to add accessories and really tie my outfits together.

How to Get Dressed ⭐️Overall rating: 4.5/5: A skill that most of us picked up around age 6, getting dressed isn't a huge deal to most, but when you really think about it, that navy blue cardigan fits, but it doesn't FIT, you know? I checked this one out virtually, and it really made me look at how I dress myself and the clothes that I pick out. I may not get a personal copy, I may get one, but one thing is for sure, I do not regret reading this book.

OMG these books were my absolute favorites!!! [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE] Seriously though, I really disliked all of these. I won’t say I hated them (except maybe Hidden Pictures) but I do have strong negative feelings about them, mostly because a lot of them were extremely hyped up
