This book was fantastic!
I’ve always loved fashion but I haven’t given much thought to how fashion can also make a valuable statement so often. This book makes me wish that we all had fashion history courses. I’ve found history very interesting as an adult, when I’ve learned a lot more and noticed how much we weren’t taught in school. So, let’s add this to the list.

While reading this book, I got so excited by all of the facts that I actually 1) posted about it on Facebook 2) posted about it on Instagram 3)texted my friend random facts from the book and 4) told my husband a bunch of random facts.

Do you know the reason women considered red lipstick as anti-Nazi? Do you know why someone stole Katherine Hepburn’s pants? How changes in fashion often went hand in hand with empowering women?

Wow. Seriously.
Read this book. Share this book with the women in your life.

On top of all the awesome information included, there were also adorable illustrations of every fashion mentioned.

I loved this book. I won it in a Goodreads giveaway, I just thought it would be cute but it’s so much more than that.
