From Publishers Weekly The book melds two fads: Deal with having less during therecession, and the Girl, get a clue! category popularized by bookslike He's Just Not That into You . A former department storebuyer and marketing executive, Hoffman echoes the often trotted-outadvice that women should invest in a few quality items they'llenjoy wearing, looking at or using for years to come, and cut backon everything else. Much of her suggestions are obvious—shop atcheaper retail stores, for example, or get haircuts less often.Rather than being about saving money, the book is about spendingit—the Hoffman way.
