[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Sophie Trist]

Carly, while I respect your opinion, I disagree with you. When 
you do eventually start to do job interview and work, you 
definitely need to match. If you walk into an office with 
mismatched clothes, you'll make the wrong first impression on 
your employer, clients, and other coworkers.

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!

Hi all, So, I was wondering about clothes
shopping. Do you shop alone or with friends or
family? If you go alone, who assist you? Do you
use a personal shopper and if so, how does that
work? I wonder if most major department stores
have personal shoppers; whether they do or not,
I know they will accommodate and help us, but a
personal shopper would know how to find clothes
for different types of people and be used to
suggesting clothes. I’ve only shopped a little
alone for clothes; in my experience they seem
short staffed and they did help me but I usually
had to wait a while. My mother tends to select
things she feels look good, but I think they
are  probably her style, not always mine. Also,
anyone know what business casual means? I ask
because offices I’ve worked at often say this
but that seems to be a big catch all phrase. I
realize it means nice clothes; no jeans; slacks
of course; maybe nice blouses and vests. Also,
anyone want to share a system for organizing
clothes in the closet? How do you know pieces of
outfits go together once you wash them? Thanks.
Ashley
