What do You think about Love, Loss, And What I Wore (1995)?
I got this recommendation from a sewing friend. I'm looking forward to reading it. While most men don't have a clue, many women DO understand how much we remember what we wore and when. How those clothes made us feel and how they enhanced or detracted from the experience. Eh, it's a girl thing.I read this last Friday while sitting on my patio in the sun with a glass of wine. It was the perfect little book for this. Cute illustrations accompanied by a little story about what happened while wearing this outfit that told a story of a life. It's a really fast "read", I finished in about an hour, went back and reread some parts. Very enjoyable.

I read this book while having my hair done, it was a great bridge between the book I had just finished reading (Cutting for Stone) and still wanted to think about, and the next one on my list. This is very short and very enjoyable. The author lets you have a peek at her life by recalling her outfits and where she wore them to. If she wrote a more detailed account of her life I would probably pick it up. It reminded me a lot of my mother's accounts of her life; she lived in a time like the author where most of your clothes were made for you and therefore they are more memorable than clothes off the rack.

The whole book had her story on the right and the items of clothing she wore for each big event in her life. It was really good to see a different setup in a book and it was really cute because sometimes she didn't remember the stuff that happened to her, but she remembered the dress. Another thing that I really liked about it is that her best friend didn't break her heart in the book ever. I disliked the fact that the guys kept leaving her and she was alone in the end. I also disliked the fact that the book was so short and didn't really go into depth with her experiences. Overall, I thought reading her experiances was great, and I learned a couple things about fashion, which is always great.
