Lisa, I couldn't have said that better. (smile) I have never had
vision, but I do know about the concept of color and how important it
is. I want to be able to do a good job when I shop and pick out new
outfits on my own. My mom is in her sixties and would dress me in
beige and olive if she could. I know for sure those colors make me
look like an old lady. My daughter is great about picking out the
right colors for me, but she'll leave home when she's grown. I want
to be able to tell a clerk that I'm looking for a blouse of a certain
color and style, or pick out some clothes from a catalog. Most of
all, I want the independence to create my own image, my personal
style that reflects who I am. I think that a lot of us don't have
that ability, and that's in part because we don't have the building
blocks of good information about how to do it. To me, this goes deep
to the core of the need we all have to be a fully living, engaged
individual. So it's not just about the surface of looking good for
me. It's part of being a real person.

Hi, Carrie.
Even though the pictures won't scan, this book would still be a great resource for us. Many of us have had vision in the past and still have some residual vision, so we would still benefit from the book. It would be interesting to get some general advice on fashion even if the books aren't current; some things never go out of style.
