[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Ashley,

         I used to be all confounded by an idea 
of oh my god, not MATCHING! Yet, since my life 
partner is blind I don't feel I need to match for 
him, as well as my figuring out the more 
important things in life than whether your 
clothes, match. I don't work, I'm a college 
student. I dress up for school though, and I 
memorize what different articles of clothing go 
together. I fell so much better after letting 
that whole matching cocophony, go. It won't kill 
ya, contrary to how I used to think, and how you probably, think!
Good luck, my sister!
