[Blindtlk] Identifying Clothes and organization

[Constance Canode]

I have a color identifier.  I also have different outfits, all hung 
together, so if it is a 3-piece ensemble, it is on the same 
hanger.  I am a shoe lover, so have many different pairs and match 
them up with what I am wearing.  Black is slimming, so I have some 
black clothing, but purple is my favorite color, so wear a lot of 
different shades of purple.  I live in my jeans, black, blue, gray 
and yes, a pair of purple jeans and wear them with different tops and 
T-shirts.  I love shorts also and have neutral colors that go with 
practically anything.  I learned when I was very young what colors go 
with what and have tried to keep up with that trend with all of the 
new and wilder shades we have these days.  Bling is also really cool 
and adds a touch of class and you can dress it up or down.  It goes 
great with jeans or a nice pair of dress slacks.  Lots of fun and not 
really much of a challenge with the identifiers they have now.
