Marta has been chosen as a key speaker for the famous
ALT Summit Design/Blog Conference.
It's time to get her out of her work clothes and into her duds!
Marta's friends and family nominated her,
explaining—"we love her look,
but she's hit the big time. Min needs a little fashion guidance from
The woman who's dressed her since the very beginning:
Her mom!"
Oma said,
"With a special presentation looming before her,
I have the honor of taking her shopping for a professional look:
Together we'll discover, "What not to wear."

Hijacked at her sleepover party, Marta was offered her special
What Not to Wear Card, a trip to the mall, and an entirely new outfit,
IF
she would give away her whole wardrobe and stand in the 360° mirror.
The critique began:
"I'd wear this to a birthday party," said Marta.
"Too many ringlets," said Oma.
"I'd wear this on a ski weekend,"
said Marta.
"Too uptight,"
said Oma.
Marta videoed her reactions from the first day:
"I have mixed emotions about this whole makeover thing.
My mom was responsible for many of my dorky looks in the past.
I'm not sure she should be my go-to fashion consultant of the day.
I don't want to lose the look that I'm known for.
And above all I want to be comfortable."

Marta explained the secret footage:
"I wore this outfit to a pickle party, when I was feeling preggars.
It was stretchy."

"I wore this outfit on a bad hairday, when I took TRAXX to the U.
I felt totally co-ed."
I felt totally co-ed."
"I wore this after being up with a sick baby all night,
when I was calling the doctor. I felt like things would be all right."
"I'm right behind you, Min!

You are so clever!! I love this post and seeing the childhood photos is wonderful (they are priceless, as I'm sure you know).
Marta is, and always has been, absolutely darling! Can't wait to see the reveal.
marta will be beautiful in whatever you dress her in i'm sure. just don't pick the the immigrant look that i found so cute, i blew it up and hung in my hall along with whit's look, (which we won't mention here). i'm sure that's why marta didn't ask me to help dress her for her big day!
Teehee! I saw on her blog that you were stylin' her up. Love the nod to Stacy and Clinton--two of my faves.
Can't wait to see (although she seems pretty stylish to me, already? Maybe this is telling about my own lack of style.)
If one is teaching about blogging, shouldn't one look the part? And that would depend on what your blog is about. Are bloggers professionals? Are they casual? Are they up-tight? Are they free? I guess they wouldn't have ink-stained fingers or a pencil over their ear. Do they have one arm longer than the other from carrying a laptop around? Or have they switched to an ipad?
I miss my mother, so, so much. You two (you and Marta) remind me what the whole mother / daughter dynamic is all about.
