Description
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.

Easily the funniest book I have ever read -- I cried more than once from laughing so hard. It didn't hurt that the author is about my age, lives in the same area, and comments on life experiences I have been thinking about a lot.

Thank you to NetGalley, Andrews McMeel Publishing and Wendi Aarons for providing me with an audio ARC of this book. This is a memoir by Austin, Texas based humorist Wendi Aarons detailing the travails of a midlife mom and all that aging as a woman entails. She covers the serious as well as lighter aspects of aging in a youth oriented culture. The author narrates the book, her voice is pleasant and the narration flows smoothly. I think when the author does the narration it is generally an added bonus as the reader/listener gets to know the author a bit. That is very much the case here. The book was not quite as light as I expected but definitely real and relatable for readers of a “certain age”. This would be an excellent choice for a book club!

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. She could be too foul-mouthed for some but it was the right amount for me.
