and my trusty black raincoat. which is way cuter than these pics would lead you to believe.
and my super stylish norwegian shades.
and my...
so if you're in venice in december and see kung fu panda strolling your way. it's just me. say hi. okay?
ADORABLE!

"Fashion fades; only style remains the same." (coco chanel). I think you've found your style groove: an ensemble which can move seamlessly(no pun intended) from Paris to Norway to Venice clearly transcends the ordinary!!!!

You crack me up Mary Ann!!!!!!! Seriously. so here in MN we look like that most of the time, especially when those cold north winds begin to bellow and blow.

Laughing my head off, what a fun post. At least you will be warm and that is important. Can't wit to go.

Michael Kors quote "Wear black and drink white." Two scarves and you're set. She who is warm and dry has the last laugh...

You are hilarious!

Hey, what about galoshes or wellies or rubber boots?
Posted by: Anna Maria | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 08:42 AM
Bwaaahahahahahahahaaaa...... Wish I could see you panda-ing around in Venice. A turtle neck seems a very solid idea! We have gotten a bit of a cold snap in Western Europe, on top of a lot of water, so be prepared! You are crazy, but good crazy. I love you.

Ms. Incognito - perfect outfit, nobdoy will suspect your are the world famous MAM, intrepidly scouting out new places to die for and commiting them to memory in arty travel journals. It's not rambling, it's MAMbling:) Off to dig out an old black turtleneck and my white glasses so I can look the part too.
Posted by: Violet Cadburry | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 09:31 AM
You are way too funny.....that is one of the many reasons I love you and your classes. Congrats on your leave of absence and I hope it leads to great new adventures for you.
Posted by: Nancy Lynn | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 09:47 AM
I'M. WITH. TARA. Peed my pants. Seriously. Had to take a moment and clean myself up. But if I did bump into you in Venice, you would recognize me, Frosty, because I'd have the bright red nose. Just say back, Hey Rudolf!
Posted by: LizzieBo | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 09:50 AM
Gloves!!!!! and cute scarf......
Posted by: Pamela. | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Add some bling and you could be Mac Mary McMoss.
Who knew you had street cred!
Posted by: Domenico | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 12:58 PM
No pants, or boots, or underwear???? Oh wait - that part of you will be under water anyways! You crack me up.

Best "What I'm Wearing" Post Ever! EPIC!
Posted by: KateinCleveland | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 01:17 PM
This? Is freaking AWESOME. And I might add the PERFECT antidote to all those "What I Wore" posts by 20-something bloggers. I love it so much!
Posted by: Linda | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Have you encountered a child pointing to you and saying: "Look Ma, its Kung Fu Panda?" Have you ever thought of doing standup comedy? You are freaking awesome, Mary Ann!!! Can you hear me guffawing? Maria
Posted by: Maria Hyman | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 01:56 PM
I say Gangnam style. Can you do the dance?!

I think Elton John and Frosty the Snowman just had a baby!! Too funny.......
Posted by: Kathy L. | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 07:21 PM
Awesomely FUNNY!!!!
Posted by: margarita w | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 09:22 PM
Gangham Style is definitely the soundtrack to this post, which is the best 'what i'm wearing post' EVER!!
Posted by: Vanessa | Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 10:24 PM
Oh my gosh - that is the best laugh I've had today. Kung Fu Panda - bless.
In all seriousness though - while you might look kinda funny on the outside, you will be roasty toasty on the inside. It will be you who has the last laugh :)
Posted by: Coral | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 01:56 AM
Hahahaha. You'll be a fashion plate over there.
Posted by: LaurieJay | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 06:39 AM
You are a fashionista and will set a new style. Now all you need are Mukluks to finish the look. If you can't find any in LA (ha, ha) just let me know and I'll send a pair to you licky split.
Posted by: Diane | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 08:16 AM
you look mmmaaaarvelous!
Posted by: Yolanda | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 08:51 AM
You will be toasty and the toast of Venezia. (I MUST find one of those hats for myself. Any hints?...)
Posted by: Maria | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Ti farai notare sicuramente in Italia con il tuo look! Ti serve anche un paio di stivaloni...a Venezia l'acqua รจ alta!
Baci dall'Italia...ti aspettiamo!!

You are adorably funny! By the way I have been making ROD journals and actually sold a couple. Whoopeeeeee!I love the one I made for me and will send photos as I fill it.
Posted by: Sharon Chapman | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:39 AM
Had to come back, because "raincoat" and "Frosty the snowman hat" put me in the best mood!
Posted by: Domenico | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 06:24 PM
Love! so excited....I think I might be getting a ticket to go with you in the next couple of days :-)
Posted by: Lynette (NZ) | Monday, November 26, 2012 at 07:15 PM
You are so stinkin cute!! Can't wait for posts about your trip and your very exciting adventures for the next 8 months. I'll be stuck with 7th graders till the middle of June, so make me proud and do something amazing with your time! :)
Posted by: Susan Cox | Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 12:16 AM
It would be worth the trip to Venice to find you! Looks like the perfect combo for a comfortable and warm trip!
Posted by: Leslie J. Moran | Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 07:41 AM
Rockin it!
Posted by: Jeneve | Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 09:22 PM
I can't wait for the Venice class! I'm going to Florence in February but don't think I'll be as stylish as you!
Posted by: Elizabeth Jane | Saturday, December 01, 2012 at 09:26 AM
