Laurie Pratt is a 39-year-old from Plymouth, Mass., who works at a landscaping company. She wears baggy clothes and has a mullet hairstyle she hasn't cut in 15 years. But Laurie's lack of style isn't just about a lack of interest in fashion. She loved to dress well in her twenties, but has spent the last eight years caring for her sick grandmother, who recently passed away. Now her friends, husband and work colleagues think it's time to give something back to her. 

Clinton and Stacy want to make her feel fantastic about herself again — and Nick Arrojo can't wait to get his scissors on that hair. But will a week with What Not to Wear persuade big-hearted Laurie that her most stylish days are still ahead of her — or will she remain lost in her unworthy clothes?
