[nabs-l] clothes shopping and organizing

[Carly Mihalakis]

But I am aware of the wisdom of paying attention 
to such things as matching if I am making a,or 
crutial, first impression or am serving as a face 
of a company like at a job interview. Remember, I 
am in the habit of dressing p for school, daily.
