Increase Savings with Dryel Cleaning Solution: Consignment Shopping

Summer has ended and the kids have headed back to school.  That means it’s time to re-evaluate the household budget.

One way to increase savings is by reducing the amount of dry cleaning services.  Many people are not aware that dry cleaning can be harsh, timely and expensive.

There’s a solution to this household concern.  Dryel is an at-home solution that’s easy to use and convenient.  This product can be picked up during your local Target run or online from Amazon for an reasonable price.

There’s several advantages to using Dryel instead of laundry services:

  • Dryel reduces fading, shrinking, and stretching.
  • Dryel ingredients do not contain harsh chemicals.
  • Dryel does not require the use of expensive machines.

After a day of consignment shopping, Dryel was an easy option that removed dirt and debris from my new items. They were placed on a hanger after 15 minutes with the use of Dryel products.

Wear What You Want | Dryel At-Home Cleaner and Product Review

Most women love to shop and buy delicate items.  The problem is that certain clothing pieces are created with intricate fibers.

There’s nothing worse than purchasing a linen blazer and it’s ruined due to inappropriate care.

Let’s not forget the over priced dry-cleaning bill and time constraint when dropping-off your favorite items.

Constant dry-cleaning has several nasty side effects such as damage to the buttons or seams.  Lastly, if you have sensitive skin, remember that chemicals are used at the cleaners.

Fabric Care: Dry-Clean or Hand Wash

Dryel eliminates the time, effort, and freedom for clothing purchases.  Fashionistas can wear skirts or slacks without the terrifying idea of harming the garment.  Visit Dryel.com to learn more and see new product launches!  Don’t forget to travel this summer with your Stain Removal Pen.

If you haven’t heard of Dryel, remember it’s easy to use:

  • Pre-treat stains with Dryel Booster Spray
  • Toss in the dryer for 15 or 30 minutes
  • Place on a hanger to remove wrinkles

Victoria Beckham X Target Collection | Review

Target is known for providing its customers with affordable fashion.  The discount retailer has made collaborations with various clothing designers and the recent in-store collection was Victoria Beckham for Target.

Victoria Beckham is a sought after businesswoman and fashion designer.  She’s known for her sophisticated and minimalistic style.  What’s really interesting about Victoria is that she was introduced as a Spice Girl and can be seen with her kids carrying a Hermes handbag.

Victoria Beckham X Target Collection Review:

In true blogger fashion I wanted to view the collection for myself.  I must admit that Target is meticulous about placing their top-selling brands near the front of the store.  The retailer in my region displayed the One-Shoulder Dress, Mint Green Lace Bomber, and Collared Dress.  Every item was well categorized; placing the activity books and kids apparel near the designer collection.

From viewing the collection (in-store) each piece was well-made and used quality fabrics.  There were no deformities in terms of darts, zippers and stitching.  The patterns were perfect for the season with florals and scallops.

I have one suggestion that clothing pieces are created for petite sizing such as sleeves, hems, and pants length. Also, some of the items were above Target pricing. For example, the Bug Bomber Jacket was $70.00 and Cali Lily Top/Pants (purchased together) was $70.00 and above.

Special thank you to Victoria Beckham and Target for showcasing diverse models.  The collection also provided pieces in the plus size department.
