From the most obvious faux pas (Texas tuxedos) to borderline offenses (peekaboo boobies), Clinton offers detailed and entertaining critiques of our top one hundred sartorial slip-ups. He turns his keen eye to wardrobe, color, cut, cleanliness, hairstyle, accessories, and even posture. And because he loves you, he presents easy alternatives and practical suggestions for creating fabulous outfits that will make you forget you ever wore socks with clogs.
Clinton also explains how to use trends to your advantage at any age, from deciding which ones work for you to understanding how to wear them to keep your look relevant. Because if you’re not comfortable in the sequined mini, everyone around you will know it.
A delightful mix of hilarious dish and expert fashion advice, Oh No She Didn’t will turn anyone from fashion victim to fashionista in no time.

À propos de l'auteur
Avis
I thought it was pretty hilarious. even if you just skim it.
Rating: 4
insightful and entertaining- looking forward for more practical style tips
Rating: 4
Not the best read I've gone through it feels very quickly cobbled together, lots of mistakes. Good bit for information but I could have done without the snark and bitchiness.
Rating: 3Fun, but too obvious. I didn't learn much while reading it.
Rating: 2Clinton has a great sense of humor! This book had me laughing and cringing (because let's face it--we all have committed some fashion faux pas). I really miss his fashion tips and I am amazed at the women who don't know (even my husband does), "color, pattern, texture shine"!
Rating: 4
I don't watch his show, what not to wear but I fell in love with Clinton Kelly after reading this book. I'm still using a lot of the rules in here. especially when shopping. does this shirt fit with two other things in my wardrobe? read this first a year ago and this is my second read.
Rating: 5Good, quick, relevant and humorous read. Good advice.
Rating: 4Started off real well - very actually but half way of the book it's pretty much the same and doesn't tell much.
Rating: 3All right. A bit dated.
Rating: 3Mr. Kelly's personality really came through in his book. I would enjoy meeting him in person, as long as I knew about it well in advance, and could get my outfit that day up to his standards.
I'm a fan of the WNTW show from its early days, and this book is more of the same, with sharper zingers at fashion offenders than allowed on broadcast television.
That being said, the fashion critique and advice given is solid and informed. I hoped to be able to use a few tips to upgrade my approach to personal style, and I was not disappointed.
Mr. Kelly's snarkiness and stressed-out-ness at times was annoying, but considering I read the book in one sitting it might have been better in smaller doses of several chapters over a couple of days.
Definitely recommend for a fun look at how to improve and update your style.

I'm bringing this book to the salon where I work. It's humorous and very helpful for people who are clueless about appropriately dressing.
Rating: 5Loved it! Useful info and lovely writing. Easy and fun read
Rating: 4
nice book!
Rating: 3it's just one guys opinion
Rating: 1I agree with about 90% of this, especially his hatred of flip flops, "I-give-up" dresses, and people who wear pajamas in public.
Rating: 4Mr. Kelly gets 5 stars for snark, but -2 for his regrettable insistence on empire waists.
Rating: 3Fashion and life advice presented with a tasty layer of snark, this is a light-weight little book that I read in under 2 hours while occasionally interrupted to do other things. No challenge to this (unless you are doing some of Clinton's no-nos) but it was fun. With no insult to Clinton Kelly, who I do sort of like and have spent many hours watching on TV, I picked this up in large part because it was half price.
Rating: 3Completely 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 sons a few years ago and finding an entire aisle of flip-flops and not a single true pair of boy’s sandals. I couldn’t believe that flip-flops had become the default summer foot-wear.Some of the other no-no’s from the book include: mom jeans, crazy painted fingernails, horizontal stripes, clogs with socks, and cartoon characters. Okay, so I didn’t pass with flying colors. I was actually wearing my favorite Mickey Mouse sweatshirt while reading the book, and I’m sure Clinton would pass out if he could see the pile of horizontally-striped clothing in my dresser, but at least I don’t wear white socks with my black shoes anymore.Oh No She Didn’t was a lot of fun to read and has some entertaining fashion advice. If you’ve seen a lot of What Not to Wear episodes then most of this will be old hat, but that being said, you’ll probably still love it.
Rating: 4With Clinton Kelly's voice talking to you as you read each page, it feels like you could be on What Not to Wear with him telling you each of these things. I love the silly photographs for each fashion mistake and the "hand written" notes from Clinton. A great, funny and fast read to help any woman combat her fashion mistakes!
Rating: 5Clinton Kelly, from the TV show What Not To Wear, has put together an easy to read book detailing very common fashion mistakes. Really easy to read--each mistake is given a full color picture with a short write up on the facing page. Most of the advice should be common sense, but alas, some women need to be told to not let their pants hems drag on the ground. I'm guilty of one of the fashion gaffes discussed, and have gathered up some pants of mine to be altered, as they "gap in the back".
Rating: 3Hilarious! If you love Clinton Kelly on television's What Not to Wear, you'll love him even more after reading "Oh No She Didn't". Addressing important fashion topics like bad brows, camel toes and low boobies with snarky, hilarious advice, Kelly is both entertaining and informative. I had more laugh out loud moments with this book than any I can remember in recent history.
Rating: 5SO FUN!!! Clinton Kelly is hilarious.
