Maria seems to have awakened my very dormant fashion instincts. For the first time in my life this morning, I woke up thinking about what colors I was  wearing. My existing Slouch Beanie hats, which launched me as odd kind of fashion icon, are wearing out already, I got a snappy now and smaller Indigo Slouch Beanie hat, and Maria is wild about the color.

So I put on my Navy blue sweater  and also a wrap-around red scarf I borrowed from here (caution, do not eat with this scarf on, it will get full of food). Maria was shocked at my new fashion enterprise. It’s never too late to be a fashion  icon, I am learning, but you have to work at it, and people are fickle.
