Have you ever wondered who you really were or who you wanted to be? You only get one life and I know I want to make the most of it. I recently had the opportunity to review "What to Wear for the Rest of Your Life", which is written with inspiration by Kim Johnson Gross, and I love how it really puts life into perspective. I think it is amazing how she compare a woman's life to her closet. I never thought about it that way. I also know that my closet definitely needs an update since majority of my clothes are just blah. I think after reading this book I really look at life in a different, more open, way! Oh and I love her advise on Mirror-talk!
"Every woman's closet-no matter the size-is a room of her own. In that space hang side by side the special occasions and the everyday, the triumphs and the disasters, the memories we want to keep and those we should jettison. Gross helps us to reconsider our closet identity and discover who we want to be. She shares her personal journey and the intimate, poignant and often humorous stories of the dozens of women she interviewed across the country. Along with calming fashion advice about how to choose flattering clothes that will fit any woman's shape and style, Gross's engaging stories will help every woman evolve gracefully from wife to mother, from empty-nester to globe-trotting adventurer--whatever role she chooses--while letting her style express her inner beauty"

This is the kind of book I love to read during snippets of free time

I've been in a bit of turmoil for a while due to a life that turned out NOTHING like I'd planned for, went to school/grad school for, etc. Family things, unemployment, radically different career (or series of jobs more than career!)... I think I could use this as a kick in the butt.

This book sounds really good, I would like to read it.
I would like to own "What to Wear for the rest of your life" because when I read, this is the sort of thing I like to read. Also, as a full time mommy, student, and employee, I sometimes feel like I lose direction in 1 or the other (or sometimes all 3) of my responsibilities and I think this book would be wonderfully/humorously motivational for me to realize I don't have to be super-mom all the time.
