Now, especially is the time to let people shop and curate options for you to still purchase without leaving your home and an EverEve Trendsend box is top of mind.
Before the notion of Staying Home and Sheltering in Place, I decided to try out the Trendsend Subscription Box. If I would have known then (beginning of March 2020) what was coming, I may have been a little more serious about it.
Evereve Trendsend Box Review
How Much is a Trendsend Box?
After your first box, the Trendsend Box will cost you a $20 styling fee per box. So worth it when the clothes you receive are this good. Trendsend works for every budget, depending on the amount of boxes you want and what types of items you like to receive. In general, you’ll receive 6-8 items, all within your budget, and all chosen by a Evereve stylist just for you. All this with free shipping, too!
Since the shelter in place, I have received an additional box, which was equally as good as the first.
In a nutshell, you can create an account on trendsend.com and then tell your stylist what you like and what you don’t of the items they carry in the store, and they curate a box for you. When creating an account, you have the ability to decide how often you want the box. You can choose Monthly, Every Other Month, Every Quarter, or On Demand. I selected Every Quarter to start. When you set up your account, you also do a style profile which helps the stylists pick complete outfits for you to fit your personal style. They also will pick things that may be a bit out of your comfort zone, but I ALWAYS find the stylist was right to pick it for me! Before shipping, they charge a $20 styling fee to your account which is counted towards any items you decide to purchase.
It arrives at your doorstep along with a note from your stylist, and outfit instructions. You try everything on and have a few days to log in and pay for or decline what you don’t like. The package comes with a prepaid return envelope and you return the items you don’t like and keep the rest.
Before we get too much further, I should let you know I’ve sprinkled affiliate links throughout this post. I also have included a referral link for you to sign up to get your first Trendsend style box, you will receive 20% off of EVERY item you keep!
If you use any of the links, I will receive a small commission in which I do a happy dance because that means you like what I’m sharing too 🙂
The ladies always do such a nice job of packaging!
Every time you receive a Trendsend, it will look like this, which is amazing!
I love how they put the outfits in each package so there’s no guess work as to what goes together.
Another detail I love about EverEve is each staff member is a trained stylist. So they will help you with your fit, with what styles look good on what body types, and even pick out things for you you may not have thought would work on you. They offer the style services in store, online, over the phone, or in the Trendsend boxes.
And each sticker they package the outfits in is inspirational and totally on brand!
Below is my box, and I will tell you what I kept and what I didn’t. If you wanted to purchase these items individually, you can do so as well, not just in the boxes
The first outfit was this pair of Sophie Cropped Skinny Jeans from Agolde, this cami from Cloth & Stone, and this cute cardigan from Peyton Jensen.
I opted to return the jeans because I have a ton of them, but also because it is about to be summer here in AZ. I kept the cardigan and cami.
Next outfit was this super comfy camo skirt from Sundry and this muscle tank from Spiritual Gangster.
I kept both of these pieces because they are super versatile and perfect for summer and momlife.
These Agolde Parker shorts came next, and they are absolutely a must for summer! This Michael Stars tie dye tank was the top paired with it.
Of course I was keeping both of these! I sized up to a 30 in the shorts because of my thighs but the waist could have totally stayed my normal size of 29.
This puff sleeve sweater from Allison Joy was the last item in my box, and it was meant to pair with any of the outfits. When I say this sweater is a must, I wear it at least once a week! It’s so comfy!
And yes, I obviously kept it!
Here are the options from my second box, which I received the beginning of June.
The first outfit was this blue Peyton Jensen tie dye dress, Kut from the Kloth white jacket, and pink lace bra. I have the pink version of the dress so I didn’t think I would keep this one, but realized it was different. It’s so soft and has pockets too!
I wanted to see if the dress came in a smaller size, but it wasn’t in stock. So I ended up keeping it anyways. I returned the jacket as I already have 2 white jackets and it’s already way too hot here to keep another! In addition, I also returned the bra as it didn’t fit me the best way, and if I sized up, it would be too big.
Next outfit was this 3 piece Sundry pink lounge set, that is perfect together or as separate pieces! I do love that in each of the boxes, I always get a comfy outfit! Because, I love to wear these for lounging and sometimes to bed.
I’m wearing a 1 in the tops (equals a small) but probably could have returned the shorts for a bigger size which I’m wearing in a 2 (equal to a medium).
So I decided to keep all 3 of these pieces because the fabric is a bit stretchy, so they will be perfect!
The last outfit is one that I wouldn’t normally pick for myself.
Rompers are sometimes hard for me because I’m 2 different sizes in top and bottom. I live for a form fitting outfit, but I want it to be consistent not one or the other if that makes sense. Both the cardigan and the romper are from Peyton Jensen. The cardi is lightweight but does keep you warm in the cool air conditioned indoors. In addition, the romper has smocking, which gives me the waist that I do have, which sometimes is hard to come by in these outfits.
In the end, I decided to keep the cardigan and am exchanging the Medium size for the Large to ensure it fits my booty and thighs better. I hope it still fits in the top!
Even if a store is open near you, I would still use caution and will most likely be shopping online for quite some time. While I have been in our local store here in AZ once, I still prefer to have this box delivered to my door. I don’t have childcare and even though my girls are usually good, I still don’t want to risk them touching things or getting sick or coughing on things.
A few of the other brands EverEve carries are Level 99, Michael Stars, Spiritual Gangster, AG, 7 For All Mankind, Sam Edelman, and P448.
If this service seems new and foreign to you, think about the Stitch Fix boxes.
I personally have never ordered an outfit from Stitch Fix let alone a whole box, but I believe the customer service here is a bit higher. I personally have met and talked with my Stylist, and we are friends on Instagram. I’m not sure that other companies can say the same thing.
This seems like a pivot and another offering that will continue to do well for a long time coming. I look forward to seeing more businesses and companies doing something similar in the near future.
Listen, I know there are probably a bazillion things you get in the mail, on a monthly, quarterly, or even seasonally basis. Heck, I’m sure you’ve probably given one or 50 subscription boxes a try at this point.
I want to share with you the reasons I like them. Also what I do with things that maybe don’t resonate so much with me personally.
So come along for the ride, won’t you?! (Insert Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood theme song, right here…Mama’s you know what I’m talking about)
Subscription Boxes – Are they worth it?
What Are Subscription Boxes
Simply put, subscription boxes are kind-of like monthly magazine subscriptions. But instead of receiving a certain magazine each month, you receive products from brands. It’s a similar business model, but better.
Nowadays, you can find subscription boxes in all shapes and sizes, and in all price ranges. And, there’s one out there for everyone in the family. Subscription boxes can include all types of things. Just to name a few, there are boxes filled with cosmetics, clothes, kid’s games and puzzles, men’s shaving and self-care products, meal kits, pet food and treats, and so on.
Whenever I see something fellow influencers are promoting, I do a little research before diving in and promoting.
Unless, I’ve already been using it and know it works well.
In this case, before I was creating content and recommending things, I was new to treating myself to different things. A creature of habit, I had my tried and true go tos. New skin or hair care products? Forget it. New stores? Not a chance.
I was a very simple person who didn’t venture outside her small box.
Maybe it was due to my childhood and how my body shape and size affected how I saw myself.
But those are both different stories.
Are Subscription Boxes Worth It?
I’m not sure how, but one day, I stumbled upon the FabFitFun box and decided to give it a try. I ordered the seasonal option that was set for winter shipping. It just so happened I received the box right around Christmas. Inside were things I knew I could gift a cousin and sister in law I didn’t really know what to give either.
At the same time, I was getting the Yogi Surprise Box, which was a monthly subscription. Neither one of those people were into yoga, so that box was mostly for me.
Recently, I’ve signed up for the Fabletics membership, which isn’t the same, but it’s a monthly subscription that you get to pick out your outfit for, which works because I don’t need to leave home to get fresh workout clothes.
How fun is it to receive a little gift in the mail each month? Honestly, its a great form of self-care!
Allows you to try new and exciting products.
It can be hard to step outside your comfort zone and try new products. But, with monthly shipments of new products, it’s easy to try new things, and maybe even find new favorites.
Gives you something to look forward to.
Even though self-care is SO IMPORTANT, it can be hard to set aside the time. Opening and enjoying the contents of your subscription boxes is like built-in self-care time that you can look forward to.
The products you don’t use make perfect gifts for holidays and birthdays.
You might not always love every single thing you receive in your subscription box. In those cases, you can use the extra products as gifts for those that have similar taste.
Reduces the urge to shop in-between shipments, thus reducing your carbon footprint.
In this consumer based society, it’s tempting to go shopping all the time to keep up with new trends. But, with your subscription box full of trendy new items to look forward to, there is less of an urge to shop in the in-between time. This will not only save you money, but reduce your overall carbon footprint as well.
Cons
Some subscription boxes can get a little pricey.
There are tons of monthly subscription boxes to choose from. If you want to receive really quality items each month, you can expect to pay a pretty penny.
If you don’t love the items you receive, the clutter can pile up quickly.
Receiving new items each month is great…until the clutter starts piling up. Ensure you’ve got the space for all your new items before you start a subscription box.
Some subscription boxes require full up-front payment, with fees for cancellation.
Some subscription boxes businesses allow you to pay month by month, whereas others require up-front payment for longer periods – up to a whole year and beyond. Pay attention to these details when signing up for your subscription service.
Some subscription services make it hard to cancel, so be sure to read the terms and agreements.
Some brands in the subscription box industry have great customer service. Some…not so much. Do a little investigating about customer service and cancellation procedures before committing to a subscription box service.
My favorite part of the boxes is they come as a surprise, kinda like the surprise toys that are all the rage with the kids these days.
How Do Subscription Boxes Work
Most boxes come with full sized products for you to try for a fraction of the membership cost. And probably almost every product in the box individually. I’m sure it’s because the founders have curated great relationships with these companies. With this, many people will see and try their item and it’s well worth it for them to put it in the box. For me, I get to try all of these new products, small businesses, and companies without searching for these products individually.
They come right to me, all at once. In the box comes information about the product and usually a discount code for future use.
If I find I have too many of something, or a product doesn’t resonate with me, I’ve always got a gift or giveaway item on standby. The products never go to waste and someone else is exposed to the product who might become a lifelong lover of the product/company.
Another favorite thing is I find out about nonprofits who are making a difference in the world, one product at a time. In the Summer Edition of the FabFitFun box, I received a handmade leather clutch from ParkerClay , a Socially Motivated Luxury Lifestyle Brand. They transform communities in Ethiopia through social and economic empowerment. Specifically helping women in Ethiopia who have been removed from the commercial sex industry through rehabilitation, counseling, and skills training.
I don’t know about you, but as a Mother of two girls, this is top of mind when in public. Unfortunately there are people out there who will do anything to make a dollar and rip them away from us.
So finding organizations like this, and knowing my purchase at any time going forward from ParkerClay will make a difference in the world for all females, young and old, helps me remember good still exists.
If it means I discover them when I normally wouldn’t have known they existed, I’m all for it. The quality of products every month are impeccable, not something that was left over and thrown into a box. They are quality that could be sold at a store for a much higher rate.
So, are subscription boxes worth it? It depends on your preferences!

Tell me, do you use subscription boxes, or will you consider using them now?
I’ll let you in on a secret. I have a love and hate relationship with summer. So many fun things to do, but there’s also the humidity and the sun’s scorching heat. So, I make sure to choose my wardrobe for this season to make sure that I enjoy it. The thing is, this weather calls for fewer layering pieces and more skin, and there are days when it feels too hot and humid that I tend to sweat a lot. If you live in a desert climate like me, summer isn’t only May-September. We have temperatures well into the 90s from May-October and sometimes November.
It’s easy to keep comfortable and stylish throughout summer when you have a few styling tricks up your sleeves. For us, less is more, and can be for you too to beat the summer heat! So I’m sharing practical and helpful styling tips for creating fashionable yet comfortable outfits that never go out of style.
8 Summer Style Tips
Wearing loose-fitting clothes
Your summer bestie is loose-fitting clothing. It helps you stay cool as it allows good air circulation. Try loose shirts, flowy dresses, oversize tops, wide-leg pants, and skirts with light fabric. So get away from clingy sweaty clothes and always go with incredible airflow.
Choosing breathable fabrics
Choose breathable fabrics to fill your summer wardrobe. Soak up the fun under the sun while wearing the best clothes fit for humid weather. Here are some of the best summer fabrics:
Cotton is excellent for the heat with its lightweight and breathable fabric that leaves you staying cool.
Linen, another breathable fabric, is light, and I love that it is loosely woven because it allows heat to escape from your body easily and dries quickly.
Rayon blends well with cotton, and it’s very thin fibers make it lighter, preventing it from sticking to your body.
Opting for lighter colors
Beat the summer heat with light-colored clothing. Choose white and light colored outfits that quickly absorb the heat of the sun. Black and other dark colors absorb more heat than lighter ones. Classic options are white summer tops which go well with neutral colored skirts or pants. A breezy linen top is another summer wear must-have whether you’re dressing up or down.
Choosing a smaller bag
Since summer means adventures, carefully choose the bag you’ll pair up with your summer outfit. Make it fashionable and should be functional too. If you have kids, sometimes a smaller bag may not work, so choose a lighter colored bag, a longer strap, or even a tote in canvas to keep cooler but have space for all the things.
Wearing open-toe sandals/slides
Dress up your summer look with pretty open-toe sandals that let your toes breathe. The warm weather requires you to keep your heels away for the meantime and elevate your summer outfit with easy-to-wear slides.
Using a lightweight scarf/wide-brimmed hat
Buy a wide-brimmed hat and a scarf for the ultimate summer look. Wearing these is essential because it minimizes your sun exposure, thus protecting your skin. According to dermatologists, choose a wide-brimmed hat that covers not just your face but your ears and neck too.
Wearing minimal jewelry/accessories
For the perfect summer accessories styling, less is more. Stay away from bangles, dangling earrings and necklaces because they cling to your skin under the heat of the sun. Try accessorizing with a thin and simple gold necklace and stud earrings. Also, remember that neutral colors match white and light summer outfits.
Wearing natural makeup
Heavy makeup is a big no-no on a hot summer day. Say goodbye in the meantime to heavy and dark eyeliners, eye shadows, lipstick, and heavy foundation. Go for more natural and light makeup. Use tinted moisturizer instead of foundation and add a touch of liquid highlighter; top it off with pale pink tinted lip balms.
I’ve always loved summer more than any other time because I grew up in the midwest and it seemed to get shorter and shorter each year. Now that I live in the desert, I still love summer and all the freedom it brings. I also love the variety of clothing and less need for makeup day to day. I feel like my skin can breathe better in summer and is much more healthy versus any other time of the year. If you have any other recommendations for summer styling, I’d love to know the ones I left out. Please share in the comments which of the tips were your favorite and if you’d like more of these tips!
There’s nothing like soaking up some sun outdoors in summers with your cute and casual outfit! We are finally getting back into the swing of things post pandemic and your shoe game shouldn’t be any different. Summer is perfect for any casual activities. Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is always a good choice. Think about the flowy dresses, shorts, and tank tops, then pairing them up with warm-weather staple flat footwear.
One of my favorite things about flats is that they look more polished than sneakers and less formal than heels. Although not all flats are created equal, as some are more comfortable than others, I have my list of must-haves flats that are comfortable to wear and can easily make any summer activity more enjoyable.
Wearing a great pair of flats is the easiest way to look cute and stylish on a warm day. And since summer is also a time for traveling, give your feet some much-needed break from blisters while looking chic. So please take advantage of the unlimited flats options during summer and start pairing them up with your favorite casual and fun outfit!
Casual Flats For Summer
If you’re sick of exerting more energy to walk in on heels or want to have fun and stress-free summer days, try on these flat footwear for your casual outfit ideas.
Slingback Flats
Not only popular in summers, but slingback flats are also springing staples. This economic footwear is the top contender to the chic and comfortable look. It’s blister-free with your heels gently supported by its straps, unlike open-backed shoes.
Ballet flats
Your summer wardrobe isn’t complete without the classic ballerinas! I’ve always found them cute and chic with their minimalist style and distinctive thin heel. They are perfect for midi dresses, especially if you look very feminine with their ribbon-like binding. It’s a popular fashion trend that can be good for everyday ear and easily worn with skirts, leggings, jeans, and shorts and one of my faves is the Sam Edelman ballet flats. Another most popular version of ballet flats has cute leather kicks with a padded footbed, a micro wedge and a rubber sole that gives pure comfort.
Loafers
Loafers are great even for summers although it’s also mostly worn during fall. In fact, loafers are known for their comfort and are considered easy work footwear. With them and trousers, it’s easy to look formal and chic, and for summer, choose a conducive material for your loafer and pair it up with a breezy dress. Working outdoors with a sophisticated loafer? Perfect!
Mules
Your summertime outfit will never be complete without the gauzy and white dresses, linen tops and dresses, and the cotton midis and maxis. What better way to look fashionably good anytime? It’s choosing an airier variety of mules. It’s a backless and usually closed-toe shoe popular in men and women. And if you want to sneak in a little heal like these beauties, you can choose a chunkier one to get the job done or pick an equally pretty flat if you so choose.
Woven leather
Oh, I love a good pair of woven leather! Sliding into this is ultra-comfortable with its classic and airy structure. Choose a pair with leather that’s soft, rich, and custom-formed to your foot. It is also perfect for midi dresses, jeans, and shorts.
Espadrilles
Espadrilles are also great contenders for warm-weather wardrobes, especially when traveling. Its summery look, breathable design, and thick rubber soles give a super comfortable feel and fancy look. Tagged as the quintessential summer shoes, it’s best partnered with dresses and shorts; this for sure is a showstopper ensemble.
So many options to elevate your shoe game for summer, and so many which are easy to pack with you when you travel and not take up too much space or weight. Remember, summer doesn’t have to be all flip flops, you can mix it up a bit to ensure you are comfortable and still stylish. If you have a favorite pair, feel free to share below or tag me on social as I want to see them too!
Comfortable is my main fashion language, especially when it comes to footwear. Which is the reason I hop in now and then to the espadrille trend. When I need something that screams chic and summer, espadrilles make it on top of my styling list.
Ahhh, strolling on bright summer days becomes exceptionally comfortable with this footwear, a light canvas shoe with a plaited fiber sole. It’s made of esparto rope and has many styles ranging from sandals, wedges, and flat slip-ons. It’s standard Spanish footwear for summer, so it’s widely manufactured there in Spain and Bangladesh, a massive jute producer.
It was initially considered peasant footwear that gained popularity in the 20th century. The word espadrille is French derived from the Catalan term “espardenya and “esparteña” in Spanish. Its popularity rose from its versatility to withstand many seasons.
Spring and summer fashion is not without every style of espadrilles. Think summer dresses, skinny jeans, and daisy dukes paired up with espadrilles shoes. The natural jute fibers pair so well with these summer outfits as they come in plenty of styles and colors. To know more about creating beautiful outfits with the ever-comfortable flat espadrilles, here are some tips to guide you.
How To Wear Flat Espadrilles
Aside from being comfortable to wear, espadrilles are eco-friendly, which is why it’s a major trend worn by fashion bloggers and celebrities alike. For flat espadrilles, here’s how you can style them:
Jeans
Jeans and espadrilles go so well together. Both boyfriend jeans and skinny jeans will take the cake for an off-duty casual or a chic street style combination. Both look better with a black espadrille or a stripe combination of white and black.
Leather
It gives a city-cool look when pairing leather and flat espadrille. Try pairing this duo with denim, and it sure brings an element of class. To tone it down, an oversized tee can do the trick.
Shorts
To highlight your flat espadrilles, wear shorts with them. It’s a total classic style, and pair it up with an oversized top. A white espadrille is a perfect partner for this styling.
Floral Dresses
Nothing says spring and summer better than a floral outfit. Work this pattern with neutral-colored accessories, and oversized sunglasses, and a flat espadrille. Floral summer dresses look great for either flat or a wedge espadrille.
Tropical Prints
Look fresh and vibrant by using tropical prints and bold colors. A red espadrille is the best option to achieve this look. It will really bring out the summer vibe of your outfit.
Short Dresses
For a chic and semi-formal look, wear your flat espadrilles with short dresses. Shirt dresses are so in trend right now. Find your favorite espadrille to go with it and oversized sunglasses too.
Maxi Dresses
For the ultimate spring pairing, rock your maxi dresses with flat espadrilles. Don’t forget a wide brim hat, ratan bag, and belt to complete the look!
Skirts
Spring and summer wardrobes are incomplete without skirts. Flat espadrilles are must-haves when wearing your skirts, be they printed or in solid color.
Sweaters
Another off-duty look goes well with flat espadrilles, and it’s with sweaters and chinos. This is a good season transition outfit from winter to spring. Maybe accessorize it too with gold hoops and bangles to add a sophisticated casual feel to it.
Now that you know how to wear flat espadrilles, you can feel confident in investing in a good pair that will last a long time. You can pair them with everything in your closet, making them a staple for sure, especially if your significant other says you don’t need another pair of shoes! I’d love to see what outfits you come up with, so please share and also tag me on social if you post!
We all have that one favorite piece of clothing that we adore with all our hearts. We wear them all the time – whether it is a casual day out with our friends or a hectic day at work. Ergo, you might as well agree that some clothes are irreplaceable, and you just cannot find something like them anywhere. All the reasons why you wouldn’t like them to become old, ragged, and worn out with time.
However, everything has to go through the test of time – even clothes. You have to make them last for them to stay the same.
But how would you do that? Well, sit back, and let me do the talking.
10 ways to make your clothes last longer
1. Invest in high-quality clothes
It’s a no-brainer that cheap quality clothing wouldn’t stay until a few wears. Thus, invest in good quality clothing that will last longer. (Would you skip fast fashion already?)
Some signs to recognize top-quality clothing.
No see-through material
No loose stitching and no threads pulling out.
Well-working zippers and seals, and well-fitted buttons.
Well-stitched lining.
Material and pattern matching at the seams.
Fabric – Silk, Nylon and leather can be high-quality. On the other hand, sheer fabrics are not.
2. Don’t wear the same clothes frequently, keep on rotating
The rule doesn’t change – A garment becomes less durable with every wear. Thus, the least you can do is not wear a fine piece of clothing – or your favorite one frequently. Switch around. Don’t wear the same garment more than once a week.
3. Separate your home clothes and outings clothes
Let me give you one more reason to be in your most comfy pajamas, and loose t-shirts while you are home – to protect the clothes you wear outside. Ergo, make a rule for yourself – Every time you come back home, change into a different set of clothing.
Why? It’s simple. The more you wear it, the less they will last.
4. Store your clothing properly and with care
For in-season clothes, the rule is simple – Keep them properly, as in washed, and neatly folded or hung.
As for off-season clothes – meaning those you would not wear for months, keep them properly in a cabinet or under your bed drawers. You can even use breathable garment bags or plastic storage containers for storage.
Also, do make sure the clothes are dry and cleaned (don’t go by the look of them, they might look clean but they can still be unwashed, dirty, and full of odor)
5. Hand wash, and avoid dryers
Washing machines and dryers may make your lives easy but they may affect the life of your clothes for the worst. Thus, for a delicate piece of clothing, always go for hand washing and line drying.
While you are at it, do not forget to check the washing instructions on the label of your clothes. Follow them strictly. If you can’t allow to hand wash and air dry, make sure to use the most gentle cycle on the dryer for your laundry to avoid any damage.
6. Don’t over wash your clothes
You might like your clothes washed up and clean. You might as well think that by frequent washing, you are keeping the clothes clean to increase their life. But you are doing the opposite.
In fact, the more frequently you wash your clothes, the shorter their lives will be. Don’t wash clothes after every wear (some types are exceptions). Stick by this guide.
Underwear, socks, under-shirts – After every wear
Bras – After 3-4 wear
Shirts and tops: After 1-2 wears
Dress pants After 2-3 wears
Jeans: After 4-5 wears
Sweaters: Up to 6 wears, if worn with an undershirt; 1-2 wears without it
Suits/blazers/casual jackets: After 5-6 wears
Workout clothes: After every wear
Sleepwear: After 2-3 wears
Bed-sheets: Once a week
Towels: After three uses
7. Attend to stains immediately
The longer you allow the stains to sit in, the deeper they set and dry. Consequently, it will become harder for you to remove them. Thus, immediately wipe them out. If you are somewhere out find a wet napkin, or even better if you carry a stain-remover pen with you.
8. Use cold water
Too much hot water is damaging for your skin, hair, and clothing as well. I know you would be surprised, but it’s true. Your clothes would stay fine, and won’t shrink when using cold water in washing machines.
9. Attend to seams. pulls and holes immediately
If you keep wearing clothes with holes, or threads coming out, you will make them worse. Thus, attend to them at the earliest. Learning how to sew and repair clothes can be a blessing for you in this regard.
10. Take care of the clothes in the closet
I know you thought your job was done when you washed, ironed, and folded your clothes neatly before putting them properly in your closet. But no, something minute is still left – what the title is about.
So, here are a few tips for that.
Keep your closet doors open; at least once or twice a week for good air circulation.
Ensure that your closet is not stacked, and the clothes have space to breathe freely.
The closet and clothes are both dry.
Now that you know how to make your clothes last longer, you can wear your favorites with no worries! And if you absolutely love something and want to wear it more than once a week, purchase it in multiples. In case you have some additional tips regarding the same content, feel free to drop them in the comment section.
Another favorite thing is I find out about nonprofits who are making a difference in the world, one product at a time. In the Summer Edition of the FabFitFun box, I received a handmade leather clutch from
