The other day, I had a sobering incident with the laundry. You might be wondering, is it possible to have a sobering incident with laundry? Yes, it is. Especially if you have a capsule wardrobe.
I was in one of those "mom" moments. The children needed me for various things at the same time and I had about a dozen pressing items on my to-do list. I just needed to throw in a load of laundry so I wouldn't get behind.
I normally wash my clothes separately from my family's clothing. After all, you never know what could be lurking in their laundry, even if you've gone through it carefully.
On this day, however, I was in a rush, so I combined my clothes with my children's clothes. Half-way through the wash, I realized I used the "normal" cycle (I normally wash my clothes on cold on the delicate cycle). But that's not the worst of it. When I went to take my clothes out of the washer, I noticed a strange substance was covering my garments.
Watch today's video to find out what it was.
I was thankfully able to save my Draper James chambray dress, but it was a close call. I also show you how I care for my new Everlane dress in today's video. I hope you enjoy and take on my cautionary tale. Laundry is very important when you have a capsule wardrobe.
The earrings I'm wearing in today's video are by Rachelyn Jewelry. And here is a link to my favorite steamer.

Joselle P. writes, "I have been reading parts of Connoisseur Kids with my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Last night, without even asking her to, my daughter fed our dog, set the table (folded the napkins and everything) and set our glasses of water for everyone. Wow!!! I was just blown away. Reading your book in small chunks is so much more effective than me exasperatedly begging for help. Total life changer. Thank you, Jennifer!!"
