Getting dressed.

Hi. My brother is color blind and he has a 3 yr old daughter that he dresses every morning before daycare. He gets upset because he can't tell whether or not her clothes match when he sends her off in the morning.
Any suggestions on how he can be sure to have the perfect outfit??

Have his significant other pick out the outfit the night before. Or, someone can go through the clothes and mark the ones that match each other.

My Brother used to look like a clown when going on a date! My sister and I figured out why, we then took one coat hanger for each day for putting clothes together for him and special ones for going out. We marked these mo. tue. wed. etc.. He was so happy and got a date with a nice girl,looking and feeling confident.
Get someone to get coat hangers with numbers , or days use permanent marker-with matching outfits for the week ahead.
Good luck!!

Let her pick her clothes, it will be empowering for her :)

P.S. I highly doubt she cares if her clothes clash and I doubt that the other kids would care.

Thank you everyone. His daughter is now 7yrs old. Better a reply than never. lol At this time, yes, it does matter what she wears but now she can pick out her own clothes. Mom was worthless in this situation.
