Laundress
What can I say? I love Target. I am there once a week (sometimes twice) and I always end up spending more money than I should. It’s just so darn hard to say no to purchasing a pack of pens (Bic Round Stic in Blue!), moisturizer (Curel Continuous Comfort!), AND a cute bathing suit, all in the same store!
Yes, I have 5 of those boyfriend tees (only $8!) in assorted colors. They are comfy!
The only complaint I have is in regards to how wacky their sizing is. According to their measurements, I wear all of these sizes: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7. I also wear XS, S, M. Huh?? For example: today, I am wearing a pair of Mossimo shorts in size 2, and a Mossimo tank in size Medium. Two days ago, it was a pair of Converse One Star skinny jeans in a size 4 and an XS Mossimo Supply tee. It’s annoying because I always have to try things on. But, something must be sacrificed when prices are so low!
If you treat your items nicely, they actually can last a long time. I have a pair of Converse One Star jeans that were purchased 2 years ago, and several dresses that have been worn at least 10 times with no damages. The trick is in the washing. MY LAUNDRY MANTRA: Never wash your clothes in hot waterBaby clothes, socks, bed linens, towels? Sure. But not any item of clothing you want to last. Use cold water whenever you have dark items, and make sure it’s a cold rinse as well. If the item is okay to put in the dryer, use the lowest heat setting. This keeps your dark stuff from fading. I use Woolite Dark, and regular Woolite for colors. All Free and Clear detergent isn’t harsh on your skin OR your clothes, so this works for things like tee shirts, underwear, etc. Bonus? Washing things in cold or warm water saves energy, too.
Also, unless your husband is ridiculously meticulous about laundry, DO NOT let him wash your clothes. It will only result in sadness…




I love Target!! For a mom there is no great Mecca on earth and Target. Cute clothes at cheap prices and if the kids stain them there is less remorse when you through them out. You hit the nail on the head – nothing better than getting a new top, baby formula, peanut butter and a new book all in one location.
Great points about laundry. Cold water wash is eco-friendly and less likely to shrink or color fade.
