How to Save 5 Minutes Every Morning

About a month ago, I missed my morning train to work and had to wait an hour (!!) for the next one. Why was I late, you ask? Because I was STARING into my closet for a solid 10 minutes in the morning trying to put together an outfit at 6:30am. Not my best moment.

Yes, we all do this: stare into a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear (amiright?!), but it’s particularly more painful in the morning when a) your brain isn’t turned on yet and b) the shirt you want to wear is wrinkled or in the hamper.

Setting out my work outfit the night before (with accessories and all!) has been a small but mighty time-saving game changer. Every evening, I take a second to check the weather, look at my meetings for the following day, and pick out an outfit accordingly. If the blouse or dress I want to wear is wrinkly in my closet, taking an extra couple minutes to iron it with Faultless® Niagara Original Ironing Spray makes my mornings go so much smoother.

When we first moved to Chicago, I was dry cleaning the majority of my work attire—which was getting quite pricey. Now, I wash on a cold, gentle cycle; let it air dry; and then iron with Faultless® Niagara Original Ironing Spray since it’s the same spray used by dry cleaners. And of course, a fraction of the price since I am doing it myself!

 

 

Using ironing spray for delicate fabrics that can get particularly wrinkly, like my collection of silk blend shirts, keeps me looking professional and pulled together since ironing spray helps more easily remove wrinkles. And honestly, laying out an outfit the night before is also a great way to mix and match key pieces or to make sure I am actually wearing the entirety of my wardrobe rather than always reaching for the same old standby outfit.

Faultless Niagara Ironing Spray may not be available in all areas, but the same company also makes Faultless and Magic Ironing Sprays. You can find them all on faultless.com.
