The Sarcastic Sartorialist Debut

So I have another bright idea!

If I were telling my friend Matt this, as in, "Matt, I have another idea!" he'd lower his head, look up at me, and say in an overly concerned tone: "Maria... is this another one of your manias?"

And that should be a warning to you all never to even slightly repeat to your friends, even in passing, anything that your therapist says about you in one of your sessions. Unless you want it used against you at all times.

Another thing I might say is, "Matt I have a plan! Oh boy, I've got a plan!" And even though Acky says that in my favorite movie of all time, One Crazy Summer, after I say that, I launch into my Bobcat Goldthwaite impersonation which EVEN MATT SAYS is my best impression of all.

Video to come soon. I have that, a Veruca Salt impression and a 1920's gangster to show all of you. Soon. First, onto the original idea for my post.

I have an idea for a fashion blog! I'm not sure if I want to start a whole new blog, so I might start posting some fashion stuff on here and then seeing if there is any traction for it and then I'll take over the fashion world. Just one step at a time.

Because in addition to hilarious gchat status updates and tweets, the other thing I spend the majority of my time doing online is shopping. Just ask my credit card companies.

I start most days on gchat, before my hilarious thoughts hit me, with an update about what I'm wearing that day. For example, past entries have included:

The glasses were not by choice because I was having a flare-up with my eye issue. Stupid eye. The lack of pedicure was just because I was being lazy.

Now that I'm traveling so much, I've started to really love packing. Before I was one of those overpackers who packed stuff "just in case," but now I have it down to a science almost and enjoy laying things out in my bag. What this has to do with anything, I'm not sure.

More than just beaded, it was a bib necklace. It was super cute!!

As I've been doing this for 2 months now, I started considering that I wanted to take pictures of my outfits, not just try to describe them. And then I had this convo:

And then I remembered that I am crushingly insecure about my appearance, and thought, I didn't want to  open myself about to ridicule or judgement.

And then I remembered that I am not that person anymore, and I accept myself for how I am. Because I'm all zen and shit now. :)

So here's Picture #1. More posts like this to follow! I think!

Fully aware that I took this in an office restroom. But at least no one was peeing at the time. And I know, I know... I've got such a stereotypically Greek body. Round, round, round.
