[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Ashley Bramlett]

Car,
Well, I think as you do for casual school clothes. I wear jeans and what 
feels comfortable.
But when you are working, you need to wear business casual clothes. This is 
where I'm more concerned.
I also have stockings and socks that I need to keep matched. How do you know 
the color and keep them matched?
Enjoy the relaxed style and attitude about clothes while you can; when 
working its different. I'm a continuing education student but I also am 
looking for work and have an internship now.

So, I got to wondering about clothes and styles.

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!
