Easy Care Clothing

I have been on a shopping spree trying to get everyone in the family new clothes to wear. I hate it! I hate to shop. I would rather do dishes than go shopping. I have been doing a lot of shopping on E-Bay but even that is a pain because it takes so much time finding and watching the auctions I want. I have found some great deals though and I didn’t have to leave the house so it was worth it.

I have a new philosophy about clothes these days. I no longer care for cute. All that matters is that the item is easy to care for and doesn’t show stains. Half of Baby Loves’ clothes are denim. All of Kate’s pants are denim jeans and I’m going to start looking for denim tops for her as well. I just don’t have the energy to spend my life scrubbing and worrying about keeping clothes clean.

Anything I have to iron is definitely out. Church clothes are the only clothes I will iron but that’s only once a week so I can handle it. I really don’t mind ironing, I just don’t have the time for it with the BILLION other things I have to do every day.

If I find the cutest, cheapest deal in the universe, it’s not coming home with me if it doesn’t fit my new criteria: knit or stretch fabric, machine washable and dark colors. Denim is best. That’s all I have to say about that.

I agree!! I want easy care clothes that come out of the dryer and look like they've been ironed. I highly recommend Eddie Bauer's all cotton wrinkle resistent shirts and pants. They're amazing!!

I love reading good tips about organizing and I love your pantry pics. One thing I don't do anymore is devote a place for unmatched socks. They have a place; clean clothing goes directly into drawers. The end user can mate these easily as long as their drawer isn't full of clutter. Generally there aren't too many waiting for mates and if they've been unmated for a long time I put a cut in the top so that my hand fits in them and they then become dusting mittens and can be washed and reused for cleaning/dusting. There's no confusion because they have the obvious cut in them.
