What to Wear for the Rest of Your Life ─ Ageless Secrets of Style

Based on a popular column Gross wrote for More Magazine, What to Wear for the Rest of Your Life will be the breakthrough book that examines the critical shifts that women experience during various stages of their life and how those changes are reflected (or should be) in their closets. Gross writes candidly about her own realization that when she donned a bikini at 47, she was no longer the tall, willowy Ford model she was at 21, and about the feelings that our clothes and our appearance evoke for us. Gross explains--using her own and hundreds of other women's experiences--how to dress your "inner girl," find style mentors, how to wear a shirt when you no longer have a waist, etc. She also offers practical "Closet Practices" so each woman can build her own "Feel Good closet." She shares calming advice about fashion, not just about choosing our clothes, but also about how to evolve gracefully from wife to mother to empty-nester or globe-trotting adventurer--whatever role a woman chooses.

Every woman will relate to Gross' look at the relationship a woman has with her closet, her clothes and the fantasy versus reality of the image she sees in the mirror.
