The story of a young womanrsquo;s life; one outfit at a time.Tucked inside the fibers and buttons and pockets of the clothing in our closets are the stories of our lives; the lessons wersquo;ve learned; the people wersquo;ve loved. Like so many of us; Adena Halpern has used clothes to conform; to seduce; to console; to show off; and to hide. Her ability to relate fashion to her inner life--in a way that goes beyond the clothes--has endeared her to many readers; one of whom called her; "the real-life Carrie Bradshaw."But Fashionista; shersquo;s not. Adena is: every teenage girl who had to have what all the other girls had; whether it looked good on her or not; the college coed who swooned for the boy in the leather jacket; the heartbroken girl who chose a rebound dress over a rebound man; the best friend who borrows clothes and never gives them back; the woman who is 45 minutes late to work because she has nothing to wear. She is a lover of clothes and shopping whose passionate memories are always tied not only to the clothes that she wore; but what everyone else was wearing; too. This is the affectionate and funny story of Adenarsquo;s life; an unconventional love story that readers will want to share. Clotheshorse or otherwise; this book is for anyone who keeps an old piece of clothing in the back of their closet; wishing that one day those clothes would get up and start talking about the wonderful times you once shared together.
