520    "In this highly engaging book, fashionista and pop culture
       expert Tanisha C. Ford investigates Afros and dashikis, go
       -go boots and hotpants of the sixties, hip hop's baggy 
       jeans and bamboo earrings, and the #BlackLivesMatter-
       inspired hoodies of today. The history of these garments 
       is deeply intertwined with Ford's story as a black girl 
       coming of age in a Midwestern rust belt city. She 
       experimented with the Jheri curl; discovered how wearing 
       the wrong color tennis shoes at the roller rink during the
       drug and gang wars of the 1980s could get you beaten; and 
       rocked oversized, brightly colored jeans and Timberlands 
       at an elite boarding school where the white upper crust 
       wore conservative wool shift dresses. Dressed in Dreams is
       a story of desire, access, conformity, and black 
       innovation that explains things like the importance of 
       knockoff culture; the role of "ghetto fabulous" full-
       length furs and colorful leather in the 1990s; how black 
       girls make magic out of a dollar store t-shirt, 
       rhinestones, and airbrushed paint; and black parents' 
       emphasis on dressing nice. Ford talks about the pain of 
       seeing black style appropriated by the mainstream fashion 
       industry and fashion's power, especially in middle 
       America. In this richly evocative narrative, she shares 
       her lifelong fashion revolution--from figuring out her own
       personal style to discovering what makes Midwestern 
       fashion a real thing too."--Amazon.com.
