What Not To Wear

Maria Merchado (3x18)

: 11, 2005

Maria was taught by her mother that wearing black clothing was only for mourning, so she always wears bold, bright solid colors from head to toe. To that end, she has over 40 pairs of multi-colored matching shoes. Clinton and Stacy help Maria to understand that colors and patterns can be mixed and matched to create a bold style that isn't so loud. Maria complains to Nick that she has difficulty controling her frizzy afro style hair, so he gives her a shorter more manageable style hairdo.
