“I loathe shopping so much that if it weren’t for the fabled Ms. Andrea Pflaumer I would be writing this blurb naked.”
—E. Jean Carroll, advice columnist, Elle magazine
“I found her book to be the most intelligently written of the genre. No, remove the qualifier. It is simply intelligent, period. An almost scholarly approach to fashion, color and personal style.”
—Maureen, Washington, D.C.
“My only regret is that I didn’t read this book 30 years ago. It has been such a boost to find that at times I look better at 50 than I did in my 20s.”
Catherine – Goodreads
“What a phenomenal resource!!!! The author covers a lot of points that are ambivalent in other color analysis books.”
—Sterling Nagura
“So much great information in one delightful little book! Even with my decades of experience I learned quite a lot from the book. Very well written and easy to understand. It is loaded with information, all clearly explained. Definitely the best book I have read on the subject.”
-Sandra Mary Catherine
“This book would be a great resource for young professionals who want to learn how to dress for success or women who are returning to the workforce. But just about any woman could benefit from its strategic advice about shopping, editing and accessorizing.
The author makes a point of addressing a variety of skin colors and body types, and it has great illustrations and color charts so you can really understand the concepts.”
-SB Booklover
“I love shopping, probably too much! Loved the book and I realized I had a lot to learn. It’s an easy reference to help develop your own individual style and is is relevant for any age. I plan on taking this book with me every time I shop. Be sure to check out Chapter 3. You will love it.”
—Adrienne Omansky, Los Angeles

—Ann Marie Houghtailing, president, the Houghtailing Group and founder, the Millionaire Girls’ Movement

—Marci Shimoff, author, Happy for No Reason and Love for No Reason
“This book is truly one you should not shop without. The chapter on the LBD (little black dress) alone is worth the price!”
—Elizabeth Morrison
“This is the best book of its kind I have read. I refer back to it again and again”
—Reviewer, Amazon
“Andrea Pflaumer is the real deal, an authentic and generous heart. She also seems to have special empathy for women over fifty, many of whom might need a little extra assistance with their outer presentation. Pflaumer keeps the tone lighthearted and fun throughout, as from a friend to a friend.”
—Beata Ballard, Florida

—Jewels LaMer, North Carolina
“Although it’s about a subject on which much has been written, Andrea Pflaumer has contributed something new. The book is well written and illustrated, and fun to read as well as instructive. I thoroughly recommend it if you’re into style and shopping!”
—Englishrose (on Amazon)
“Shopping for the Real You both expanded and focused the colors and styles I would normally seek out. This book is written in a breezy, friendly manner but with very specific focuses in each chapter. After reading it and shopping, I came home with clothing that I know I’ll enjoy and will look good for several years. Really fun to read and a great gift for a sister or for a friend.”
