Unless you only started reading my blog in the past couple months, you know how much I love coats. Pretty outerwear is the only reason I attempt to put up with the cold winters here in Indianapolis (that and the good restaurants and impossibly low cost of living). I usually lose patience sometime in February, but for 2-3 months I can distract myself by purchasing new cozy things to wear.
But I have a confession. Most of my coats…I have never had cleaned. First of all, dry cleaning is expensive. Second of all, I never think of it until it actually gets cold, and then I’m too busy wearing my coats to clean them.
But this year, I’ve turned over a new leaf (autumnal pun intended). As a brand ambassador for Dryel, I already have my at-home dry cleaning supplies, and as a new homeowner, I actually have easy access to a dryer. This week we’re having warmer than average weather, so I’m going to take 20 minutes each evening to grab a couple coats from my collection and toss them in my Dryel bag. I started today with the two coats pictured above!
With as much as I wear my peacoat, it’s really about time I freshened it up. I know, I’m a totally disgusting human being. But at least I’m a well-dressed disgusting human being. And I’ll get a little less disgusting each day that I clean up the contents of my coat closet.
If you haven’t used Dryel before, here’s my plug (yes, it’s sponsored, but I’m nothing if not brutally honest): It’s a great way to clean and freshen dry-clean-only clothes, and it’s way cheaper and more convenient than traditional dry cleaning. If you’re a fan of winter wear like I am, I definitely recommend trying out a kit. The starter box is only $6.99. And do it quickly, before it’s too late and you become a dirty slob like me…well, like the old me!
Looking at all these old outfits is making me the tiniest bit excited for winter. Just the tiniest of bits.
