I wondered about that as well. Especially since there would be so much to iron with a maxi! Back when I did Stitch Fix, they sent MANY rayon tops, and the wrinkle aspect was a problem.
I prefer knits, and a quick flip through the dresses in my closet indicates that most of what I have are polyester/spandex or nylon/Lycra/spandex. I only have one true maxi, and it is polyester/rayon/spandex.
Thanks, @HImom, for the reminder that I likely need to pay attention to fabric content!
Iām a polyester/cotton fan. Cotton helps it stay breathable and polyester is good to minimize wrinkling. Iām NOT a hand washer and definitely not an ironed or steamer.
I like the look of rayon but Iām not a huge fan of hand wash items. I love linen and I find itās okay to machine wash and hang dry. I donāt love ironing linen but itās worth it to me.
I whenever I hear people rave about Polyester I can still hear my Mom. When I was in high school whenever I wanted to buy something she would ask āis it permanent pressā? She hated 100% cotton and I only was able to buy a cotton top if I was willing to pay half.
I donāt know who first mentioned Vionic shoes, but thanks! I bought a pair of flip flops (Tide II) because I wanted something to wear in the house (hard tile floors) during the warmer months.
At first they felt so weird - what is this lump under my arch? I have very flat feet. But now I wear them and donāt even notice the orthotic design. I have not had any foot cramps at night, which I often get when wearing regular flip flops or other unsupportive shoes.
Posting a review of my Spanx leggings I got a while ago. Two thumbs up. These look and feel like jeans without the zipper/button discomfort. I sized up to Medium in the taupe color and love them.
I probably would have been fine with a small, but I wanted them to be more jean-ish and less legging-ish. Wore them to a dinner out today!! Yay. Our first meal out in like 3 months.
Ordered a dress. I have no idea when I will be able to wear it, but because I am optimistic that I will outlive the Pandemic, I pulled the plug and bought it.
The Tommy Bahama reminded me of my son. He was thinking about asking for a Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirt for his bday, but then he read the far right are wearing them for some reason, so he said forget it.
I would not let a few wingnuts to appropriate aloha shirts. Beachgoers and residents of Hawaii who wear these comfy shirts outnumber those few nut jobsā¦ maybe someone should start aloha shirt movement to tell those wing nuts to go away.
@BunsenBurner, I agree with your thoughts, but Iāve gotta pick my ābattlesā with the kids.
He has plenty of clothes, and I suspect if thereās one he really likes I will hear about it.
In HI, the professional men (MDs, lawyers, investment bankers) wear aloha shirts instead of dress shirts and ties. Our state is pretty far left liberal.
