I was thinking I was done having children for a while, so I got rid of my actual pregnancy jeans with the elastic in the band. This has led to me only being able to wear about three pairs of jeans (one pair correctly, the rest with a rubber band to connect the button and the hole LOL). And I grew out of my S.O.’s jeans about a month ago. This limited wardrobe severely changed my laundry habits and also taught me a few lessons as well. (Even though I didn’t know it at the time.)

I recently read an article on downsizing a wardrobe. The author included tips on cutting down on how often you have to do laundry, as well, stating that she wore her jeans for two weeks straight before washing them! This got me to thinking about my own wardrobe and laundry habits. So for the last two weeks, I’ve been paying attention. What I found shocked me. And also motivated me to make some changes!
