Hot Tips
1000 Fashion & Beauty Tricks

1981
Aside from the fact the fashion is way out of date, and the illustrations are not great, this kind of book is a great idea. Dressing professionally was a big deal in the late 1970s and 1980s. Everyone I knew seemed to think about presenting the correct look for a professional woman. I think the claim that you will look “model-perfect on a tight time budget” is a bit of an oversell.
Every fashion book talks about the transition from day to evening wear, like it happened all the time to young professional women. Frankly, I don’t remember EVER having to transition from day to evening, but then again, I didn’t get out much. I kept thinking everyone was having a glamorous time in the 1980s, except for me.
