Book Description:
It's the real thing. It's about getting your life together. It's about looking damn fine. It's about man handling. It's about the casa question. About solitude. About stain removal. Whether you're a young woman just out of school and starting a career or a harriedly successful thirty-something, if you're still wasting time looking for stockings that match or struggling to keep on top of credit card bills, you need help. And not a glossy monthly's unattainable idea of help, but the stuff that works--the nuts and bolts.

Anna Johnson's Three Black Skirts is the book that delivers. In a voice that's knowing, smart, hip and funny--and with the author's own retro illustrations to match--Ms. Johnson cuts right to the core of the chaos that passes for life today and shows how to find order, balance, fulfillment. She covers it all: health, dating, career moves, finances, entertaining, body image, sex, and, of course, the indispensability of owning three black skirts. She offers the twenty basics for money management, and three keys for shopaholics to gain control over their passion. A workshop to build better food habits. Ten ways to get to sleep. Dress codes to the major cities. A Schmoozer's Guide to Compliments. Principles of Modern Courtship. And everything in between, from an extensive stain removal chart to eleven ideas for reawakening your spiritual life.

Great "getting your life together" book for women. Tips on fashion, home decor, entertaining, dating, budgeting, career, and home improvement from a well-known author who writes style articles for MSN, Marie Claire, Elle, and Vanity Fair. Good for fresh college graduates or anyone looking for a "life makeover". I devoured this book, and wish it were twice as long.

It's about solitude. It's about stain removal. It's about beauty,and what to do when feeling blue. It's about attitude and atomizers, stock funds and solitude and atomizers, stock funds and stockings that match. It's about life- your life and how to get it together.

In a smart, funny, and refreshingly down to earth survival guide, Anna Johnson covers it all: health, dating, money, career moves, style, sex, nutrition, responsibility, home decor, body image, friendship.
