Where do you find wonderful clothes for your work?


Wearing professional clothes during my presentations is key. My closet features mostly dark clothes, and that hit my mother hard. But she knows, now, that I don't wear any flower prints, polka dots, nor colorful patterns. She stopped buying them for me and decided to just take me shopping when she wants me to pick out something special.


I tend toward navy, dark brown, dark teal, blue, black, dark grey, grey, or any dark, solid color. These clothes provide a good signing background, which is appreciated by Deaf people, interpreters, and my audiences. I try to keep distractions to a minimum, so I avoid heavy jewelry and elaborate nail treatments.


Dressing up is a lot of fun; however, picking the right color and style for the best sign language visibility is vital to my work as a presenter. Sign language interpreters consider these clothing issues, too, and I appreciate that!
