About the book

Great books never go out of style, and the New York Times recently re-recommended this classic bestseller, an illustrated gem, \"Ilene Beckerman's heavy-hitting mini-memoir of a stylish life.”

Beckerman’s runaway bestseller —adapted into an Off-Broadway hit by Nora and Delia Ephron — articulates something all women know: that our memories are often tied to our favorite clothes. From her Brownie uniform to her Pucci knockoff to her black strapless Rita Hayworth-style dress from the Neiman Marcus outlet store, Beckerman tells us the story of her life.

“A memoir every reader will wish to copy in her own size.” —Glamour
 
“Ilene Beckerman’s sleek little memoir . . . strikes a startling chord. . . . Unsettling and oddly powerful.” —People
 
“Surprisingly poetic.” —Entertainment Weekly
