...so this post is getting filed under 'frugality'...because...we will get more use out of our clothes if they look nice enough to...you know...wear...
...the top/dress that I'm wearing in the photo was a hand-me-down from Mom...I think it would be cute just as a dress worn over flats...but I've never worn it that way...I always wear it with these polka dot leggings that I got for $1....
...and it has started to get all of these little knobby 'pills' on it...making it not so nice looking to wear...
...so...I hopped on Amazon (of course)...and searched for a little shaver to take them off...just read the reviews and settled on
this one...
...spread the top out on a towel on top of the dining room table...
...and started shaving...
...I was amazed at the difference...
...and all of the little pills get vacuumed up and trapped in the little cup...
...there were a lot of them...
...do you have a clothes shaver?...I have seen some badly 'pilled' items in the giveaway bin at Goodwill...so maybe they'll be worth a second look now...it only takes a few minutes to run the shaver over even a long top like this one...

I *don't* have one, but posts like these make me think I really should. I've seen so many people rave about them, and I definitely have some clothes that would look better if I used one on them, so I'm going to add this to my list of things to eventually buy. I'm all about extending the life of my clothes (I wear an apron almost all the time when I cook and also when I eat, because I dump food on myself like it's my job...). :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the dress/tights combo (especially the red with the black polka dotted tights, that's really sharp!), that's basically my go-to all winter long on my out-of-the-house days. Home days, it's usually yoga pants and a sweatshirt. :)
Hi Stephanie,
Delete...I think the apron is such a good idea...I usually wear one in the kitchen...and I'm trying to get the Man to wear one as well...he does a lot of cooking and I can't tell you how many of his shirts have gotten spots that required treatment in the laundry...and I like the leggings as long as the bottom is well covered...haha...they certainly are comfortable...

I had one of those shavers. I'm not sure if I still have it because I haven't needed to use one for decades, lol. But I remember your outfit from your Christmas posts and I remember thinking how cute it was. I'm glad you were able to save the top to wear it longer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny,
Delete...I was pretty impressed with the effectiveness of the little shaver...I wasn't sure if it was just hype you know...

I had one of those many years ago....not sure what happened to it. It may be lurking in a box or drawer somewhere....Love, K
ReplyDeleteHey K,
Delete...if you're like me...it probably is...it's just a matter of knowing 'where' it is right?...
Love,
