A: Should I buy this blouse. Y/N. (Seller will accept a Best Offer of $55.)
M: Hm. I mean it's nice and the color is pretty but it's not like YES WHAT A BARGAIN.
A: I've been watching it on eBay for a while but it's silk and I'm not wearing my silk stuff as much because I'm too lazy to hand wash and iron and eh. So lazy.
M: That sounds like the answer then. No more silk! I'm thinking about getting this blouse (from I Want to Be Her) in both colors:
A: Ooooh, I like it.
M: Oh:
A: OH MY GOD THE RUFFLES. TYRANNY.
M: But seriously this is cute:
A: Much better! I like that a lot. I'm also eyeing this Lou & Grey tunic on LOFT with my Spanx leggings in mind:
A: But, full price still.
M: Pajama clothes.
A: It’s a Chico’s kind of day, Marianne. Also! I tried on this great dress at LOFT this weekend:
A: I decided to buy it online and forgot and now the sale is over. Whomp.
M: I want that.
A: It’s so good. Everything I want is full price. I WILL WAIT. RIGHT. HERE.
There is no reason to handwash silk. Silk is a natural material that can stand machine washing and spin cycle and a hot iron.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that every label says handwash is to protect the manufacturer.
Ah, you haven't met my washing machine - it's old and basic and tends to ruin things. I've washed silk jersey in my machine (in a lingerie bag) with no issues but I'm hesitant to sacrifice my more delicate bits to that monster.
