[nabs-l] color and clothes

Haha, I'll be honest with you all, I usually don't pay much attention
to color unless I'm in a professional setting.  It shouldn't matter,
but it does.  When I'm just hanging with friends I'll wear whatever;
if I'm going on a date, or going to a job interview, I make sure I
match.  It's what's expected of everyone else so it ought to be
expected from us also.  I've not followed this whole thread, but
there's one other alternative technique I use all the time.  (and in
saying this, I'm not knocking the other systems out there because I'll
probably start using one myself.)  But you can always ask a friend or
roommate or family member, who you know you can trust to be honest, if
you match.  Works like a charm, especially if you don't have your
clothes marked quite yet.
  That's all for today, folks,
Kirt
