Confession time.

| The outfit. Day three. |
I wore these jeans and this shirt yesterday. And the day
before that. And the day before that. Yep. Count ‘em. That’s three days in a
row. And I’m not above wearing them again tomorrow.

It’s one of the benefits of working from home and since
“work from home” jobs don’t generally come with benefits like 401Ks and health
insurance, I use the word benefit in the most professional way.

It’s not really gross, it’s…conservative.
I’m conserving water, soap, time, electricity, wear-n-tear,
and labor. It’s a mutiny against excess laundry as Jen Hatmaker might say (I
love that phrase, “a mutiny against excess,” but Jen Hatmaker coined the phrase
in her book “7,” which I have not read. However, this is my attempt at a bibli-blog-graphy).

The key to pulling this off is to purchase forgiving
clothes. The design on my shirt is a symphony of shapes and colors camouflaging
even the most egregious coffee spills. I didn’t own it when I had spitting
babies, but I’m confident it would have disguised even sweet potatoes and
squash.

I’m rockin’ some jeans have that really hip
“look-kinda-greasy-but-I think-it’s-the-in-thing” look. So when you abandon the
kitchen towel and use your jeans, or someone who is knee-high to a grasshopper
thinks your jeans are a tissue, you’re really just upping the cool-factor and
becoming increasingly fashionable as the days wear on.

I’m not advocating slobbish-ness. It’s hard to respect
yourself when you look and feel disgusting. And if wearing the same outfit for
three days makes you feel disgusting, then don’t do it! Choose self-respect!

But if you can handle it, and odor isn’t a factor, then by
all means, Friend, save yourself some work and join the mutiny against excess
laundry.

Don’t leave me
hangin’ out to dry. Tell me I’m not alone in my…uh…conservation.

Ha! Nope, not alone.
And you must read "7". You have plenty of time cause you're not doing much laundry.
You wouldn't believe the time I have on my hands! Will have to check the book out! : )
You are so green!
Maybe I should change my screen name to Mrs. Green Jeans.
