You Should’ve Called A Dry Cleaner (25 Ironing Fails)

Doing laundry is one of my favorite chores, but I’m not good at it. I never read the tags or separate items. I just throw it all in there and hope it works out. Maybe I’m lucky but I’m surprised I’ve never had any ironing fails. One of the only nice things about being home all the time is I don’t have to get dressed up for anything. I’ve been wearing sweatpants for the last 8 months.
