I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl most of the time.
I have an iron, but I couldn't tell you where it is. If it doesn't come out of the dryer wrinkle-free, it's outta here.

I don't have to worry about wrinkles. I just buy 2XL shirts for my 3XL body. No wrinkles!

I don't know if I look smart. My opinion would be biased, of course!
But I do look different...but not in the way that any of you could guess. (Cookies if anyone does, though!)
And I love to iron! Instant gratification never looked so good!

Do you do drip-dry?
Only when it rains.
Do you dry-clean?
Yes, that's my rule. If I'm dry, I'm clean.
Do you press clothes for money (I have)?
What kind of person do you think I am?
Do you mangle your laundry?
Never liked mangles. I prefer oranges.
Do you have tips for looking smart?
Yeah, sound intelligent.

I think so. It's my perch that I'm not so sure about.

Dearest Natty CoCo:
I love comfy clothes, but I am thrilled to be "overdressed" at any opportunity! The world needs more overdressers, I think (and how!)
Of course, while my ensemble might look like a million bucks from a distance... it is predictably always covered in cat hair. Well, that, and I'm not much of an ironer. dOh.
I feel this might be the right thread (and the right forum!) to bring up the fact that my JW friends always made fun of my clothing choices. I was endlessly harangued for their amusement. They never DID know what to do with me.
Love,
Crumpled and bumpled but somehow strikingly fashionable Baba. -

Most dear and natty and, perhaps, not-so-natty-but-maybe-naughty-non-permapress friends:
I am whelmedover by your replies! I must sort through them and, it is hoped, contain mirth bent on bursting seams, it would seem.
Love,
CoCo

By your criteria, I look smart and have been told so many times. However, I now put a high priority on comfortable - which, I am glad to report, can be compatible with looking 'smart.' High heels - rarely. Pantyhose - even more rarely. Skirts - wayyyy rare. As semi-retired from working and totally retired from dating - why not? I recently took a consulting job one day per week - black pants, black loafers, nice top and cardigan, jewelry, make-up, hair scrunched - I am comfortable and look professional. Why sweat it?
No, I avoid dry-cleaning - bad chems into the environment. I like natural fibers that can be washed, even bleached. I love linen. Yes, I iron. Not much, though. I love mens wear - casual slacks, casual shirt and a blazer - its like a uniform. I used to wear blazers a lot, being very thin - but there comes a time as a woman where blazers no longer look flattering. Fortunately, I'm not a Hilary Clinton-type who must dress corporate.
One thing I have learned about fashion - if you are trim and tall, a gunnysack will look good on you. If you have a few extra pounds, you must be more creative and avoid things that are too tight or are made of clingy fabrics.

Does throwing something in the dryer to dewrinkle count as "pressing"???
