A secret my mother taught me, iron your silk items with a cool iron while still wet, taken directly from the washer. The moisture gives an unbelievably smooth press job.

I feel like I have to wear my shirts only once because I usually work from 8 am – 6 pm and usually on a hot day since i work outside often (but I still have to dress up because I get into a lab sometimes) I get ring around the collar sometimes and they are pretty easy to wash out since I soak all of my dirty shirts in a tub (if I have time) other than that, I’ll just put them in my washer and let the machine clean the dirt and food stains out

It’s easier to wash my whites because I just have to put some oxy bleach and hot or cold water with some detergent, and they come out super white and really clean I usually wear my dress pants once if it’s really hot and I’m sweating like crazy or twice if I’m not sweating like crazy.

I really agree with the wearing an undershirt comment. Have been doing this for a year now and it really does soak up all the body oils, which does lengthen the life of the shirt.

Other tips are quality too.

But, as a girl, I’m with lulugal here. We don’t have the advantage of an undershirt in most cases, though I suppose if we’re wearing a dress, we could wear a slip. I probably wouldn’t though. I’m actually terrible about this, though. I tend to be the one that throws my clothes in the hamper when I take them off. I do reuse pants, unless it was an extra hot day and the thought grosses me out. But, as a general rule, I do laundry once a week and anything I wear gets tossed into the hamper.

Nice tips, though. If I were a guy and my wardrobe was a little less complicated, I’d totally follow these!
