I don't like shopping for clothes, but there's no valid reason why. I'm small, but reasonably slim - a size 10 petite usually fits me perfectly - and I'm lucky to be able to afford to buy whatever clothes I want. The trouble is that I lack the confidence to know what is going to suit me and to be honest it's very difficult to get excited about a trip which will almost certainly end up with another pair of smart black trousers and a matching top. I never feel that I look particularly good in black, but I've resorted to it because it can will usually take me anywhere and is unlikely to cause offence. So, how did I feel when I was given a copy of ''The No Black Project''? Well, to be honest, I felt a little scared...
Numba Pinkerton is a model and a professional personal stylist and she's worked with hundreds of women to help them develop their ''own'' personal style and to give them confidence. She helps women to look their best - and that means creating wardrobes which support their lifestyles and in which they look good too. I liked that there's ''no'' hint of changing ''me'' in the book: there's no suggestion that losing weight or undertaking a punishing exercise regime is necessary. Numba wants me to love ''me'', as I am, ''now''. Gosh.
