What Not To Wear Part One:

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 chase a lamb," said Marta.
"Too much blush," said Oma.

"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 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 wore this that night I . . .
I don't want to tell about that night.

"I'm right behind you, Min!
(Unless I notice some stuff for myself.)
Shop til you drop!"

The reveal is tomorrow.
