Muffin tops. Scrunchies. Suntan hose. Slut shoes. Visible panty line.

Who hasn’t had the unfortunate experience of witnessing—or (gasp!) actually wearing—one of these fashion disasters?

The atrocities Clinton Kelly has seen—it’s a surprise he hasn’t gouged out his own eyes. Mom jeans? Fancy fingernails? Tracksuits? In the same straight-talking style that has made TLC’s Wha

I love Stacy and Clinton and I would never have thought of Stacy as a tempering influence but Clinton by himself--OMG! The tone of this book is beyond snarky, all the way to mean. And his constant references to needing prescription drugs and alcohol in order to cope with the atrocities he's been forced to look at are just too much. And don't get me started about his comments on women's bodies who have borne children/had the audacity to grow older. I'm sorry he finds stretch marks so bleeping off...more

We've all seen these fashion mistakes. And I've been guilty of quite a few.

This book had me cracking up with my librarian before I even left the building. Hilarious!

My only criticism of the book would be that Kelly willfully ignores the very real fact that many women wear ill-fitting clothes because they do not have the financial means with which to update and refine their wardrobes, or they are too busy working all day and doing all the home work in the evening and have no time to shop, or live...more

Oh King Kelly, it must be awful lonely up there on your throne of fashion perfection...

I liked this book and laughed out loud more than once. His snarky attitude and constant referral to needing prescription drugs to handle all the fashion disasters was funny. It must be an awful burden for him to have to see all the wardrobe atrocities knowing that he, as one man, can do so little to wake us up to the injustice.

While I agree that most of the content in his book see...more

Definitely a fun read if you enjoy fashion, specifically calling out fashion faux pas (the don'ts are always more fun than the do's!-it's self-esteem building!). I like the style Clinton is a florid writer and can be funny to read...

However, I didn't always agree with his assessments: red lipstick is more accessible than he portrays, colored suits can be done with style and I think animal prints can be done with class and whimsy outside of his guidelines. Perhaps more significantly, many of his...more

He is pretty dang critical and outright mean at times. Also, he has a potty mouth. For the guy who writes books about how to be freakin' fabulous, I would think he would be interested in sounding slightly less juvenile. Seriously. Tattooes on your boobs are tacky. So is needing half of your sentences bleeped out.

Criticisms aside, it was really fun to read this book. I am guilty of a thing or two he mentions (like frayed hems on the backs of my jeans - I KNOW I can tailor them shorter. And I do, when they are a lot too long. But when they are just a little too long (like 1/3 inch) I hate paying to get them hemmed and convince myself I will just wear them with heels only. Then I wear flats. Then the hems get frayed. Would I look better if I paid to get everything hemmed? Yes. Do I deserve the level of criticism he would heap upon me? I don't think so.

I went to pick my son up at preschool right after finishing this book and found myself silently criticizing the appearance of most of the other moms there picking up their kids. When I got home and thought about it, it occurred to me that the women Clinton Kelly got me critiquing so unfairly in my head were probably all wonderful hard working women, with a million great qualities that made up overall for the sneakers they wore to a community center to be seen by 20 four year olds. I enjoyed the book because it was filled with cleverly written tips on how to look better by a gay guy. If it had been written by a woman though, I would have tossed it out by page 30 and called her a mean bitch.

I'll still read anything Clinton Kelly writes because he's fun (and right on about everything fashion), but my opinion of his fabulousness just went down about four notches. He needs to learn to be a nicer person, because that's what makes people stick around and like you after they've moved on from their first impressions of your clothing and accessories. (less)

In Oh No She Didn’t, Clinton taught me about how shoulder seams can make me look slouchy and schlumpy, and how calf-length straight skirts give people the impression that I'm a member of a religious cult. Additionally, he mentions that I should only use...more

Completely irreverent, funny and a bit off-color, Clinton Kelly dishes on what not to include in your wardrobe in Oh No She Didn’t. Each page is filled with humorous pictures of how we shouldn’t dress and contains a rule along with a snarky explanation.

Most of the rules in here are common sense (or at least most of them should be). The rule about not wearing flip-flops outside of the pool or the beach gets a big “Amen!” from my corner. I remember going to the store and looking for sandals for my...more

I saw this book on a shelf while I waited in line to check out at my local library and picked it up on a whim. I am the first to admit that I know little to nothing about fashion, nor do I really care. I do not care about name brands, purses, high heels, or haute couture. But I also know that I (and apparently, many women in the U.S.) could use some gentle reminders of "What Not to Wear."

Much as I love Clinton and his co-hort from "What Not to Wear", I have to take this book to task a bit. First, it's incredibly thin - literally. At just barely 200 pages, the retail price is still $25.99, and we all know how I feel about finding bargains when it comes to books. Second, the content is a bit on the thin side as well, meaning that the author and/or the publishers have relied on a full page of pictures for each of the 100 "fashion sins" that we're guilty of. Really? Pictures on every other page? Back in my school days we'd call that padding the paper!

Having told you what's wrong with the basics of the book, let me tell you what's right - Clinton's wonderfully snarky tone. I will admit that I laughed out loud quite a bit while reading this, and it's all due to Clinton's wit. He seems like the kind of person I'd like to hang out with, albeit he'd have to dress me first so that I wouldn't offend him. Yes, yours truly is guilty of some of this fashion faux pas. Not that I really care, though, as I've never tried to be a fashion plate in the first place. Not to mention that I don't have the money to be one, either.

Some of the mistakes are so obvious you wonder why anyone needs to point them out to us again (and again and again, as Clinton claims), things like muffin tops (sooooooo tired of seeing them!), "low boobies", tramp stamps at work (or anywhere but a club, IMHO), "camel toe", etc. One of the mistakes that I used to be guilty of was the "double bubble", a phenomenon that occurs when one with ample cleavage wears a bra with a too-small cup. I've seen this a lot, and I totally agree with the author on this one point: GET A PROFESSIONAL FIT. Wearing the right size makes a huge difference when it comes to the girls; I looked like I lost 5 pounds just by getting a good bra in the right size. And now I realize that the band should be good and snug (not to the point of pinching or causing bleeding or anything), as the band is what does the majority of the support work - not the straps.

But I beg to differ with him on other points, such as cross-trainers (which I can't readily identify when I see someone walking up to me), hoodies, and other "comfortable" clothing. According to our fashionista, we should only wear such things if working out or hiding out at home; they should never be seen in public. Well, sorry, but I have worn hoodies/sweatshirts, tennies of all kinds, and even velour yoga pants out into the world. Look, I get that he wants us to look our best, and that often these may not do the trick. But he's not me, and he's not doing the job I do, and he's not going to tell me how to live my fashion life. I appreciate the advice and will pay attention to some of it, but I'm not going to take it all to heart, running out to replace most of my wardrobe. The biggest thing Clinton advocates over and over again is the help of a good tailor, and I'll agree: clothing looks better when it fits your body. A tailor can take things in where needed, hem pants, etc - but who can afford one these days, a "good" one? And if you live in a small town (or smaller, I should say), good luck finding one. This is why I look for petite pants and am even preparing to order more expensive pairs from Land's End; they'll hem them at exactly the length I need (don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but I am a shortie, barely standing 5 feet!)

My opinion is this: find this book at your local library and check it out. It won't take you more than an hour or so to read it, so I think spending full retail for it is crazy. But don't beat yourself up if you realize you're "guilty" of some of these fashion violations; wear what you feel you look good in. And do take a trusted friend shopping with you, one that will either confirm or gently debunk your opinions. (less)

Snarky snarky snarky. For the most part, it was funny--and I mean in a "giggle on the inside only" type of way. Some of it was like he was trying too hard to be snarky or humorous and the joke fell flat. Other times he was a little mean, but this book was meant to be taken with a grain of salt. I've read some other reviews who were truly offended. I get that. They were offended because Clinton Kelly was probably talking directly to them--and they knew it.

Out of 100 style mistakes only 4 overtly applied to me, and 3 of these are related and are no surprise. Muffin top and midsection cling are things I am very aware of which I've tried to address with layering. It really helps. But then on page 170 I hit jackets that don't button -YIKES! Probably only one of my 50 or so sweaters and jackets do actually button. I'm not willing to replace a large chunk of my wardrobe, which by the way, would require me to have everything tailored, because if it fit around the middle, it's gonna be huge in the chest and shoulders.

The only realistic solution is to lose weight, and those of us who are not completely in denial know how realistic that is. So I wear nice earrings, makeup and a sincere, enthusiastic smile to draw the eyes upward! :D

The one mistake I was unaware of is on page 48. Clinton hates turtlenecks and the Gawd awful photo looks just like me! I have one in every color and many prints, which to my defense, I only wear under another layer. I already noticed I have been wearing them less this year, as they are too bulky underneath some of the newer, thinner cardigans. He says "But my neck is cold" is no excuse. That's what scarves are for. Well that is my excuse, and while I'm not throwing out the turtlenecks, I will consider scarfing it up a bit.

I didn't count myself as guilty of "covering your ass with an invisibility clock" because I have been wearing tops shorter for a few years. I'll keep in mind Clinton's advice of "The best way to camouflage your rear end is to use what I call the 'divide and conquer' technique. Look for tops that hit at the widest part of the tush. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but it works. Think of it this way: if your tops are very short and hit above the butt, then everyone can see your entire butt and it becomes the primary focus of tour rear view. If your tops are very long, your entire butt is covered, but your silhouette will look very wide and your leg line will look shorter. Shorter legs make you look shorter and then you look wider. But, if you cover the tush halfway, you bisect the butt, reducing its emphasis by half, and keep the leg nice and long.

Obviously everyone will get something different from this book. It is really FUN!

This book should have never been published; it should have gone straight into that big silver garbage can long before it saw the light of day.

For a man who insists we must all dress our age, he employs a surfeit of underage colloquialisms: "I nearly peed my pants" and "I threw up a little in my mouth", are the obvious and most egregious examples - his book teems with them! This is not a grown man "of a certain age" with an intelligent, considered understanding of fashion and personal presentation - this is a bitter, unpleasant, nasty little man who has a huge chip on his shoulder for whatever reason (one can only guess - perhaps it was the acid wash jeans of his youth). His fantasy scenario where a woman is subjected to public ridicule and reduced to tears is particularly cruel, and yet he seems to get such pleasure out of it.

I'm sure his fashion advice has some merit, but if anyone needs a ghost writer, he does. It drives me nuts that just because a person has had some success in one field, the assumption is that they can handle just about anything else. This book proves that theory wrong, wrong, wrong. I'd also like to add here that, visually, the book (and I use that term loosely) is appalling. It looks sloppy and lazy, a big NO NO according to Mr. Kelly, and for a man who claims to value beauty, and most likely had a more than generous budget, he sure puts out an ugly product. I understand the use of photographs to underscore his message, but it isn't necessary to hit readers over the head with them. We don't need a picture of fake, gnarly, hairy toes to understand that it is nicer to have pretty, manicured feet. Where was the art director for this project? It strikes me as the epitome of irony, that this man who calls himself a "stylist", actually needed one to help him put this book together - and obviously didn't receive one (unless he bullied him/her into submission).

It isn't so much that what he writes is offensive and misogynistic bordering on misanthropic, it is not funny, not entertaining, not thought-provoking and insubstantial. I'm so glad I didn't buy this book and I think all those people who were duped by his winning on-air persona into parting with their hard earned money, should get together and file a class-action lawsuit for damages. Gloria Allred are you there?

After reading many of the reviews on this site, I am dismayed by all the slathering accolades this book has received - I can only surmise that it taps into an endemic female self-loathing (and lack of innate sense of humour). I weep for womankind.

Oh, and Clinton - you look ridiculous in walking shorts and loafers - you don't have the legs for it. Fashionisto, heal thyself.(less)
