I’ve Been Doing it Wrong All Along

Inspired by today’s Seth Godin’s post

Part of learning fashion this summer is also learning how to take care of my clothes. I learned that there are many things I’ve been doing wrong:

• Don’t hang your knitwear. The weight of the sweater will stretch the piece. Fold them instead.
• Use thicker hangers to hang coats and tops with shoulder padding.
• The label gives you instructions on how to properly wash your garments. Follow them.
• Wash bulky items like towels and bedding on high heat, fast cycle.
• You don’t have to wash your garments after every use. For example, Jeans can be washed every 10 wears.
• Wash dark and light clothing separately (duh).

The joy of learning is figuring out you’ve been wrong all along, and correcting that behavior.
