Description
This is not a guide book. It is not a book about women's fashion. It is not a book about how to live. It is a hilarious, searing, funny send-up of our social structures and how they can be bent to suit the intrepid.
"After I had the pleasure of hearing Jocelyn Brown's way of approaching life through One Good Outfit, my entire attitude has changed: I can go anywhere and I can do anything. Cloaked by my one good outfit."? Alice Hartland, Edmonton
Jocelyn Brown wrote One Good Outfit as a sequel to her One Whole Parent: a guide for single parents. Her own single motherhood convinced her that women need a new approach to poverty.
