Pretty in Plaid is Jen Lancaster’s fourth memoir. She writes about different experiences her from childhood up until she penned this book. Jen started off as Jeni, a Brownie that could not wait to be in Girl Scouts because she liked the uniform better. Once she sums up her early years and drops the “i” she moves onto the best stories; which are from her college years. She wants to be a sorority girl in the best sorority on campus but does not understand why some girls call their purses “Louis” (Louis Vuitton handbag) or why anyone would carry around bags with “C’s” (Coach handbag) on them. Once she gets older and discovers the loveliness of designer handbags she vows that one day she will buy one. She will also say it is never a good idea to stand in the unemployment line carrying one! Jen is very excited to get her first real job once she finally completed college. Yet on her first day she feels clueless because she has never used a fax machine or collated anything in her life. Jen tells hilarious but insightful stories, if you want to laugh out loud and enjoy some easy reading check out Jen Lancaster’s books.
