I will start a new off-topic thread today, just to see if there is any interest beyond the two of us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1348838 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:36:34 +0000 gardenchick 1348838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! What might be the first step to organizing? Maybe get it and then announce a date to start a thread on chapter 1...or part 1, or some small chunk?<br /> It does seem like this book is about everything that is discussed on YLF all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1348082 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:02:39 +0000 viva 1348082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that idea, Gardenchick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347953 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 17:13:53 +0000 gardenchick 1347953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great, I would love to check out of the library. </p> <p>How can we do a book club here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347447 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 23:44:01 +0000 JAileen 1347447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard about this book on NPR, too. I put a hold on it at the library. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347401 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:46:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1347401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't seen this - thanks so much for sharing :)<br />Thanks for the link MsMaven </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347264 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 19:22:41 +0000 MsMaven 1347264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Financial Times ran a long review/discussion on this book last weekend. &nbsp;I saved the article and meant to post about it--looks like a good book.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/84e16f94-29ea-11e4-8139-00144feabdc0.html#slide0">http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/84e1.....tml#slide0</a></p> <p>"Why Fashion Matters--No Matter Who You Are"</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347233 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 18:33:40 +0000 Susie 1347233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, their questions are interesting, aren't they? It looks like you can still do the survey so perhaps they are planning another edition. In checking that one out, I came across a book on Amazon&nbsp;called Worn Stories that also sounds interesting...</p> <p>"By turns funny, tragic, poignant, and celebratory, <em>Worn Stories</em> offers a revealing look at the clothes that protect us, serve as a uniform, assert our identity, or bring back the past—clothes that are encoded with the stories of our lives."</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347225 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 18:19:41 +0000 doubleh 1347225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've already posted like 6 good forum conversation starters there. &nbsp;I imagine you will have tons of fodder after reading. &nbsp;It's all sounds very interesting though. &nbsp;I'm already pondering the family background and cultural influences connection. &nbsp;(though I think that family probably is more an influence than culture, as I am a plain ole' midwest girl without any really interesting sartorial affiliations.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-book-women-in-clothes#post-1347174 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 17:14:24 +0000 viva 1347174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard a great piece on NPR this morning about this book, which is a compilation of "interviews" conducted with women via survey, about their relationships with clothing and fashion. A few famous women are included but my understanding is that it is mostly (extraordinary) ordinary women (like us). What I found most intriguing are the kinds of questions the authors asked: How does your cultural background influence how you dress? How does money figure into your clothing decisions? What is your family background when it comes to dressing? How would you describe your mind? Your body? Your emotions? Really interesting stuff.</p> <p>I'm definitely purchasing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.womeninclothes.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.womeninclothes.com/</a></p>
