Synopsis

An honest and hilarious memoir about second acts, self-acceptance, and celebrating what happens when a woman gets older, wiser, and a lot more excited by sales at Eileen Fisher.

A late bloomer who came to her career later in life, humorist Wendi Aarons shares the joys, stumbles, and outfit mishaps she’s experienced on her road to no longer giving a f***. It's a journey from chunky heels and bad choices from the juniors department to the panache of a comfortable linen tunic (metaphorically, but also literally), enjoying her second act, and unapologetically chasing her dreams. 

With relatable personal anecdotes, an irresistible comedic voice, and inspirational takeaways—you, too, can find self-acceptance and also age-appropriate fashion pajamas—I’m Wearing Tunics Now is a comic memoir with humor and heart.

Goodreads review by Bobbi

I love reading books by kindred spirits. This memoir reminded me of Glennon Doyle's 'Untamed' but way more snarky. Wendi Aarons tackles topics like being a SAHM, mom groups, re-entering the job market after 40, Botox, and menopause. Wendi is relatable and comforting through her antidotes and humor. S......more
