Chicago at heart. I smile at everyone, wear dresses in the winter, and live for food. I like dream catchers, antiques, topography, postcards and I collect keys. I’m always in the mood for breakfast, a manicure, or a show.Eff THis...Tumblr (3.0; @eff-this)http://lauryneffie.com/Swissmiss sounds perfect right about now ;)<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5zdz2mG71qzwckuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Swissmiss sounds perfect right about now ;)</p>http://lauryneffie.com/post/17362434835http://lauryneffie.com/post/17362434835Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:31:51 -0600Mad love for Chicago… and coffee.

Nine loads of laundry for a family of one is a ton! </p> <p>But here’s why… as you can see I have an abundance of clothes. More socks than any one girl could ever need, a hundred tops, a dozen pairs of jeans, skirts, shorts, and dresses- oh my! So, I challenged myself to wear everything in my closet and drawers then everything left over would go to Goodwill or a consignment shop. It was the only way I could think of deciding what to give away and what to keep because I ‘would wear it again some day.’</p> <p>I had no idea that my closet would last me almost 3 months before having to wash anything in bulk. The only things I washed were towels and undies ;) </p> <p>I’ve exhausted all my options and worn some pretty wild combinations thus, the nine loads of laundry. </p> <p>It’s been real. </p> <p>Goodwill here I come. </p>http://lauryneffie.com/post/17313217562http://lauryneffie.com/post/17313217562Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:47:20 -0600Laundry by color.
