Guide To What Laundry Care Symbols Mean

What Laundry Care Symbols Mean

My closet is packed full of treasures. And I really mean that wholeheartedly. I have jeans that I know I can put on without fail that make me feel like a million bucks. I have a favorite dress that is my go-to for girls night out. I have t-shirts from concerts that immediately bring back memories.

There are so many times when people ask me how I met someone or if I remember when we did so-and-so together and when I think back I often can visualize us in that moment. Even down to what I was wearing. My clothes aren’t just for throwing on. For me, they really do hold special memories.

So the last thing I ever want to do is to ruin them by simply trying to take care of them. (How ironic right?) But I will confess, if I were to list out all of my talents I’m not entirely sure that domestic goddess would necessarily be listed. So when my mom bought me a gorgeous new top for my birthday and I went home to wash it I will be the first to admit that I was a little confused on the do’s and don’ts. I’ve seen the laundry care symbols on clothing tags for ever. But I honestly never knew what they meant.

So in an effort to preserve my new top and my favorite vintage concert tees I decided that now that I’m in my 30’s, this was probably something I should figure out.

When you see the open circle on your clothing, then you know that item is meant to be dry cleaned. Want a tip: Use Dryel! Save the time and hassle of going to the dry cleaners (why go when you can do it at home!) and get your clothes safely washed. Bonus: It saves you up to 90% of the cost of dry cleaning! WIN!

What Laundry Care Symbols Mean

Each starter pack comes with 4 packs, spray, bag and instructions. How does it work? The heat of the dryer releases a steam inside the garment bag that cleans your clothes and removes odors. The Dryel Booster Spray can remove stains and add freshness. But you don’t just have to use Dryel for your dry cleaning items. Use them on your favorites that you want to preserve too. That awesome one in a million pair of jeans? Don’t let them fade! Wash them in the Dryel bag! My favorite vintage concert tee? You bet that it gets washed in Dryel! You can find a retailer near you here.

I’m so super excited to announce that I am working with Dryel this year! Their products are so simple to use and have really saved me so many times in time, money and from ruining some of my treasured items from my closet. Be sure to be on the look out for some clothing hacks and tips on keeping your wardrobe in perfect shape all year long!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love seeing all of the kids dressed up, but I love to dress up too! Here is a fun group Halloween costume idea (or family!): the Scooby Doo gang!

Group Costume Ideas: DIY Scooby Doo Costumes

A few things I love about these costumes:

A. They are inexpensive.

B. They use pieces of real clothing that you can wear again throughout the year. I hate spending a ton on a costume that we wear once for a few hours. Putting together our own costumes isn’t just a fun look, but it’s a great excuse to expand your wardrobe a bit. 🙂

Summer is just around the corner and I’m getting ready! We have a few vacations that we are preparing for which means, obviously we need to get a few new fashion essentials! When I pack for a trip I make sure that I have 3 different looks to take – one for a night out, one comfortable one to wear sightseeing and one that I can just wear relaxing around. (And of course, beach gear!) These looks are all you need for summer.

3 outfits you need this summer

Before I tell you where you can get all the goods – take a loo at these shoes! They are all from Naot Footwear and are amazing!

Fall Date Night Outfit – Get the Look For Less

Fall Date Night Outfit - Look For Less

I don’t know about you, but around here the end of summer vacation is bittersweet. I wish it would last forever and I’m sad when Joshua heads back to school, but on the other hand…it means fall is just around the corner! I love fall. Like loooove it. I’m the stereotypical fall girl – bring on the hoodies, bonfires, colors and of course the pumpkin.

While hoodies can be a perfectly acceptable fall clothing option, sometimes you need to look a little more pulled together. This is a great fall date night outfit, it’s good for your budget and even includes a few Kate Spade items!

Fall Date Night Look For Less

 

If you are looking for a little more trendy outfit, swap out the leopard ballet flats for a pair of wedge booties! Bonus: Wedges are easier to walk in than heels, so if you usually say no to a few extra inches try wedges!

Here is what we used!

It all starts with the basics. This sweater comes in a ton of different colors and is only $12.99. You can’t beat that!

Fashion For Women: Striped Maxi Skirt

Fashion For Mom - Affordable outfits for women

I’m all about casual fashion. I love my yoga pants and it is so easy to wear them since I work from home, but I’ve been making sure that they are only worn to the gym. (You know, for real yoga… 🙂 ) But maxi dresses are the dressed up version of yoga pants. Super comfortable, but still presentable. Easy to wear, but still adorable.

[Tweet “Maxi skirts are the classy yoga pants. You need them in your life. #Fashion #Style”]

It all started with the skirt. This one is available in lots of different colors and stripe patterns. It also has great reviews!

I have major problems with my feet. If I don’t wear shoes with good support, the arches hurt the next day. Recently I discovered Sanuk flip flops. Oh my gosh. Y’all. These are amazing. They feel SO good on. The shoe is made from the same material that yoga mats are made of. Once you try them you will fall in love. Luckily they have lots of colors and styles available!
