[Blindtlk] Identifying Clothes and organization

[Nikki Wunderlich]

Hi all,

Well, I happen to live with sighted people, so if I am not sure if two
colors go together I can ask one of my sighted family members. Which is very
nice, but I know not every one lives with sighted people. A friend of mine
is totally blind, and she does not lable her clothing. What she does is she
just wears black shoes, and finds clothing that will go with black pants,
and blue pants, and blue jeans, all 3. So she kind of limits what she buys
to that criteria. Another friend of mine just gets stuff that will go with
blue jeans for casual, and has help with dress up stuff. When I lived on my
own, I had either a sighted family member or friend look over my planned
outfits for the week and see if they matched ok.  And I also organized my
clause by short sleve, long sSome times though, I get a colored pair, and
then I will ask what colors would look ok with those shoes. I hope this
helps. leve, dress shirts, dress skirts, and dresses. As for shoes, I try to
mostly get either black or white so I know they match with pretty much any
thing. 

Sincerely,
Nikki

To All:

After hearing of some of the clothing  mishaps, which happen to the sighted
and unsighted.  I wanted to ask how do you organize your clothes.  Trying to
come up with new ideas.  Do some of you number your clothes?  Use the
braille tags?  I myself am visually impaired and is realizing that I should
be more organized in my clothing.  At times it is hard to tell the
difference between black, dark brown, and navy.  Also knowing what colors
are in prints, plaids, etc.  Also I hear that the braille tags do not have
enough of colors.  Any suggestions?  New Ideas?    Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

Johanna
