As an Account Executive, Caren Laverty met with many couples, single women, and widows and it occurred to her how many women shy away from the investment world. They either found it boring or too complicated and filled with way too much terminology to be understood. Through The Little Black Dress of Finance , Caren helps empower women rather than watch them become vulnerable in one of the most important aspects of their lives. Readers get a fun--and funny--course in personal finance through this book. Budgeting and investments receive special attention, just as a designer dress would in a boutique! In a style that is very much girlfriend-to-girlfriend, Laverty delivers top-notch expertise in a conversational way.
