Totally get it. " </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765688 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 13:33:02 +0000 Eliza 1765688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! All of us fashion focused folks who don't want to iron! Totally get it. LeDonna: you rock that jumpsuit and the drapey style seems to camouflage any wrinkles on my screen. </p> <p>My mother was an ironing superhero. From sheets to my father's boxer shorts and handkerchiefs, she would stand in the kitchen, while listening to news or music. In hindsight, I realize that it was the most relaxing part of her week. </p> <p>I went through an ironing the sheets phase (love to have the "right" sheets), but am now thrilled if I get to the pillowcase only. I remove them slightly damp and stretch them out. Good to see that I am not the only one with work-arounds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765685 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 12:56:46 +0000 Helen11 1765685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can empathise with not wanting to iron. I think I last caught up a year ago! And my MIL will do some for me when she visits, how embarrassing.<br /> You look great. Your energy always shines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765663 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 11:10:17 +0000 JamC 1765663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't iron either and I enjoy learning all these tips to smooth clothes. This outfit reminds me of one I wore when pregnant with my daughter 27 years ago! It was big and comfy and It fit to the end! My jumpsuit was a dull purplish blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765642 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 06:16:19 +0000 Anonymous 1765642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look crinkly cute. I use a Downy anti-wrinkle spray. Just spray liberally and stretch the fabric a bit and it dries with a much smoother finish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765641 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 06:14:08 +0000 Lucy 1765641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super!&nbsp;<br />I do not iron. About 3 times a year I convince my husband to iron something for me. Otherwise, I mainly buy clothes that don't need ironing. I do sometimes "press" things a little in the clothes dryer, ten minutes on hot then onto &nbsp;a hanger is good enough for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765639 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 06:03:59 +0000 Carolyn E. 1765639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaDonna you are so beautifully wonderful and expressive with clothing and words. I am in California, and although I appreciate a bit of "California Crinkle" my family members from Chicago iron everything, even underwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765516 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 21:11:29 +0000 Greyscale 1765516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never iron anymore. I got a little hand held steamer and it's perfect for my needs, and cheap. Plus I can use it on things like wrinkled wool suiting that shouldn't be ironed. </p> <p>Sweethome (a site like consumer reports) suggests the My Little Steamer brand hand held steamer. I have the even smaller travel version, their "go mini", but I'm going to upgrade to the non-travel one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765446 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 16:58:17 +0000 Anonymous 1765446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to iron, it's therapy for me.&nbsp; If we were neighbors, I'd trade you ironing for jello with pineapple!&nbsp; </p> <p>I've noticed that some people just look great in wrinkles, it seems to give them a certain<i> je ne c'est pas, </i>but I've never been able to achieve it.&nbsp; But sometimes, ironing just has to take a back seat to more important things, like feeding the little nugget!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765415 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:28:22 +0000 Sara L. 1765415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I hate to iron too.&nbsp; I usually stick things in the dryer for a few minutes with a damp washcloth and that usually does the trick.</p> <p>Your outfit is cute though and I love the striped shoes.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765411 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:13:44 +0000 Ledonna N. 1765411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna my grandmother had just as many irons.

I really don't have enough pieces. May be a good investment to think about. </p> <p>Sterling I am in agreement lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765168 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 17:21:57 +0000 Anonymous 1765168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;Ironing sucks. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765162 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 17:07:36 +0000 El Cee 1765162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit is "darn cute" and love the jumpsuit... a convenient pregnancy FFBO. I am like you in that I tend to avoid pieces that need a lot of ironing. Have you tried using a hand held steamer? Won't give you the same crisp look as ironing, but it will help tame the post-laundering allover wrinkles in denim and cotton-rich fabrics. And it is great for a quick fix when you do not have time to get out the ironing board.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-walking-wrinkle#post-1765160 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 16:55:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1765160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I alway post good or solidly decent outfits but, staying true to a promise I made to myself I'm going to post the good the bad and the wrinkled. I went out to celebrate a birthday last night. I knew this fit needed a good Iron taken to it. I just wore it anyway.</p> <p>Something in my brain just said oh its not that bad. Lol well that was until I saw the pictures. From the neck up and the ankle down I love my fit. Oh well you cannot win them all. My goal during my pregnancy is not to look like I gave up on fashion. </p> <p>Having said that. I wanted to make jello with pineapple slices. No one at home want to go get it for me. My cravings for it lasted about a week. Now that fit was a hot mess. I wore owl P.J. bottoms a t-shirt and a huge duster sweater and to top it off I wore a batman leather baseball cap and clogs to the supermarket. Lol. </p> <p>I rarely wear things that have to be ironed. We have a cleaners here called CD 1 price. I may take a few pieces to them.</p> <p>What I am wearing.<br /> A denim maybe waterfall jacket<br /> An olive jumpsuit<br /> Boots by toms. They have colorful stripes on the side of them.<br /> Scarf head wrap.</p> <p>Back to the drawing board or n<br /> Better yet the ironing board with this one.</p> <p>I also know that this fit is to large for me little nugget is still growing. Oh boy </p>
