meganrenae's review against another edition
2.0
I give this book 2.5 stars. It wasn't quite what I thought I was getting. I thought it was going to compare the fashion in different regions of the country but it was more about fashion in specific cities during specific events that don't necessarily reflect the normal fashion of those places. That being said, I remained pretty interested while I was reading and it was a quick and easy read. On the other hand, I didn't find myself excited to get back to the book really either. I did enjoy her insights into fashion and style and what it means in today's world and the way fashion has changed over time. I also found it a little bit roaming...all in all, average book but a cool chick (I picked this book up because I heard an interview with her on the WTF podcast with Marc Maron).

This moved between insightful and slightly condescending. An interesting read, though.

Wilson has irreverent deadpan snark and a keen sociological eye

Read the last two chapters for some ruthless Truth. Read all but the last two chapters for some clever, laugh producing jabs.

If you like the writing style of PJ O Rourke but not his politics, this author is your new favorite. Funny, sharp, poignant, incisive, observant....takes a bit to grow on you but so worth it!
