Yup, exactly...

My former gig was "dress casual" and I am very "particular" about crisp dress shirts ('HEAVY STARCH PLEASE!'), dress slacks, etc...so my cleaning bill was pretty high, I only wore items once, and then back to the cleaners...

Now my work duds are polo shirts, cargo pants and jeans...no big cleaning bills, I just launder myself, no "crispness" needed...
