Fun to read, and the fashion and fit advice is concise and classic. Enjoyed the autobiographical aspect, too. I was disappointed that the internet sites linked to the book were flagged by security software, so I don't know what special features might have been.

Great Read
A Common Thread is a multilayered book as much about fashion as it is about our psychology and creative expression. I’ve found happiness in clearing out my closet, finding forgotten treasures and quite unexpectedly looking forward to figuring out what to wear.
