Style tips with Nina Garcia

You've torn everything out of your closet like a wild animal and you can't make anything work. It's as if you've never dressed yourself before. Sound familiar? Well, Nina Garcia, "Project Runway" judge and fashion director of Marie Claire, has a solution. Lots of them, actually. She's created a very handy look book that maps out what you should wear to every occasion you can think of.

When Nina was crisscrossing the country on her previous book tours, fans she met really wanted to know, what should they wear? They'd had this party to go to, a reunion a date and they needed information. So, thankfully, Nina decided to gather her advice together to create a style bible for us all.

In "Nina Garcia's Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion", she explains the dressing philosophy for literally any and every scenario. What to wear to a job interview (a blazer, a watch, never fur), to ask for a raise (well tailored suit, assertive shoes, grey is good), to break up with your boyfriend (something understated, sans any jewelry he gave you), to meet your boyfriend's friends for the first time (jeans, not too many accessories, no logos) to have a baby (nightie, fuzzy slippers, a robe with pockets). The list goes on.

And speaking of babies, Nina is about to have her second this fall! I know Heidi Klum gets plenty of props for looking so chic while expecting, but I just want to say that in person, Nina
looks incredibly elegant. Not surprisingly, she knew just how to dress for our interview: black mini dress and gladiator high heels!
