On the weekend I did a little shopping and found a couple new shirts. I saw them on the hanger and thought, “that looks nice”. Then I tried them on and thought, “Yeah these fit, and look nice.” Then when I got home, I clipped off the tags, and pulled off any stickers then… I put them in the closet.
Does that seem strange to you? For me that is the natural next step after buying NEW clothes. Some people I know have one more step in there… they wash it before they wear it.
I don’t know about you but after I wash a brand new piece of clothing it is never the same. It will NEVER look as good as it did at the store after it’s been washed. It shrinks a little bit, or it doesn’t lay right, or the tips of the collar get flipped up, the list goes on!
The reason some people decide to wash before they wear is because one of their FB Friends’ sister got a bad rash from a pair of socks that they didn’t wash when they brought them home from the store. I’ve never personally known ANYONE who actually contracted some hideous skin condition from unwashed NEW clothes. Maybe you have… and if so my condolences.
What do you say, wash or wear when it comes home from the store? Have you ever gotten a rash or something else from a new piece of clothing? Leave a comment on our Facebook page.
Until it happens to me I’m going to keep playing New Shirt Russian Roulette.
