So as this Associated Press reporter attempted to pick out her outfit for this year's Grammys, I enlisted a team of my own fashion mavens Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, who give weekly makeovers to fashion wrecks on the TLC series "What Not to Wear." If they can make a woman wearing a feather bob and an '80s sweater look good, surely they can make me look fabulous for Grammy night.
