I cannot urge you enough to read this insightful book by Linda Grant. Here is an excerpt, ending her chapter about some exuberant clothing styles following World War II:
"Out of suffering comes the demand for pleasure. To love clothes is to embrace life in all its joyous variety, even if all you ever do is turn the pages of a magazine and long for fairyland, crave couture ballgowns you will never own. We all need daydreams. One lipstick alone can go a long, long way."
The Thoughtful Dresser "celebrates the pleasure of adornment and is an elegant meditation on our relationship with what we wear and the significance of clothes as the most intimate but also public expression of our identity."
