My husband doesn’t like me telling people this. It’s not that he gets embarrassed about his color blindness but he hates telling people because they always automatically say “what color is that then?” and point to something bright red or deep blue. But no matter how well he hides it, it can sometimes hinder him too. If it weren’t for me checking him as he went out the door each morning he would look awful with his brown shoes, navy pants, green shirt and red tie. So when it came time for me to go on holiday I was quite worried about how he would look each day without me giving him a helping hand. I set about organizing his wardrobe and matching his pants and shirts together. But then I had a dilemma. How was I supposed to match the cufflinks and ties? I couldn’t put the cufflinks in the shirts for him because he might lose one. That’s when I came across the 5 sets of cufflinks and ties. It was perfect, one for each day of the week. I put each of the little collector gift set boxes into his pants pocket so he knew where to find them. Sure enough none of his cufflinks got lost and he managed to color coordinate his wardrobe all week. I am so pleased about my organizational skills that I now keep his wardrobe like this all the time. He gets to look smart every day for work and I get a lie in!
