In much of modern fiction, it is the clothes that make the character. Garments embody personal and national histories. They convey wealth, status, aspiration, and morality (or a lack thereof). They suggest where characters have been and where they might be headed, as well as whether or not they are aware of their fate. At the Mercy of Their Clothes explores the agency of fashion in modern literature, its reflection of new relations between people and things, and its embodiment of a rapidly changing society confronted by war and cultural and economic upheaval. In some cases, people need garments to realize themselves. In other cases, the clothes control the person who wears them. Celia Marshik's study combines close readings of modernist and middlebrow works, a history of Britain in the early twentieth century, and the insights of thing theory. She focuses on four distinct categories of modern clothing: the evening gown, the mackintosh, the fancy dress costume, and secondhand attire. In their use of these clothes, we see authors negotiate shifting gender roles, weigh the value of individuality during national conflict, work through mortality, and depict changing class structures. Marshik's dynamic comparisons put Ulysses in conversation with Rebecca, Punch cartoons, articles in Vogue, and letters from consumers, illuminating opinions about specific garments and a widespread anxiety that people were no more than what they wore. Throughout her readings, Marshik emphasizes the persistent animation of clothing—and objectification of individuals—in early-twentieth-century literature and society. She argues that while artists and intellectuals celebrated the ability of modern individuals to remake themselves, a range of literary works and popular publications points to a lingering anxiety about how political, social, and economic conditions continued to constrain the individual.

An unprecedented look at that most commonplace act of everyday life--throwing things out--and how it has transformed American society. Susan Strasser's pathbreaking histories of housework and the rise of the mass market have become classics in the literature of consumer culture. Here she turns to an essential but neglected part of that culture--the trash it produces--and finds in it an unexpected wealth of meaning. Before the twentieth century, streets and bodies stank, but trash was nearly nonexistent. With goods and money scarce, almost everything was reused. Strasser paints a vivid picture of an America where scavenger pigs roamed the streets, swill children collected kitchen garbage, and itinerant peddlers traded manufactured goods for rags and bones. Over the last hundred years, however, Americans have become hooked on convenience, disposability, fashion, and constant technological change--the rise of mass consumption has led to waste on a previously unimaginable scale. Lively and colorful, Waste and Want recaptures a hidden part of our social history, vividly illustrating that what counts as trash depends on who's counting, and that what we throw away defines us as much as what we keep.

This book is full of tips, tricks, and advice to get the most out of the clothing you already own or adding cheap pieces and other "ugly" clothes. Why spend more money buying something new when you can make what you already have work for you. When I was younger, my mom would always pick out my clothes, and this continued probably up until about 5th grade. I had no sense of my own style, and this made it hard for me to put together outfits that made any sense. One day, I felt like a tomboy, and the next day I was a total girly girl. I remember one day wearing high-waisted shorts and a green, collared polka-dot shirt. I was proud of myself because I cropped the shorts and added studs on the sides, so I thought that automatically made me stylish. Little did I know, the outfit was outrageously uncool. So, how did I finally learn how to dress? It's actually not too long of a story. Simply put, when I got to college, I decided to give modeling a shot. After landing a couple of gigs, I became very interested in fashion and started following top models on Instagram. I would screenshot every outfit that I liked in an attempt to recreate it. Later on, I noticed that some of my favorite influencers would incorporate a lot of vintage pieces into their outfits, and this gave me the idea to rummage my closet for clothes I no longer wore and try to find ways to alter them in order to make them more stylish. I will warn you, it's not easy to do, but I'm here to give you my best advice on how to make even the ugliest clothes look like they belong on the runway. So, if you have a serious shopping addiction and your wallet just isn't getting away with it, or you simply enjoy saving money and being artsy, then this how-to guide is definitely for you.
