Not only is Megan Fenno the other half of “One Chic Mother to Another” on Holly Morgan’s mid-morning show, but she also has some serious design chops. A native of Cincinnati’s West Side, Megan graduated with a degree in fashion and accessory design from Savannah College of Art & Design and was even a finalist to appear on Project Runway! She’d love to meet Tim Gunn again – this time for coffee and the scoop on all the behind-the-scenes drama.

Despite her stylish creds, Megan remembers plenty of fashion blunders from her youth: “Oversized sweatshirts paired with stirrup leggings…and permed bangs. Yikes!”

When she’s not on air with Holly, Megan is the Lifestyle Editor at cincysavers.com and the owner of online accessories boutique FENNOfashion.com. She married her high-school sweetheart and their young son, 80-pound German Shepherd and three-pound curly-furred cat keep her pretty busy, too.

Decoding Care Labels on Clothing

Have you ever wondered exactly what all those little symbols on care labels mean? By law, the Federal Trade Commission requires every garment have some sort of care method. As foreign as they may seem, it is beneficial to know what each of these 33 symbols mean. Knowing these labels will not only help you take better care of your clothing but also save you time and money- because you’re clothing will last much longer!

A few other things to keep in mind:

The dot system used to indicate the temperature range is exactly the same for all wash procedures, from the water temperature to the setting on your iron.

Most washable textiles are safe in some sort of bleach. If bleach isn’t mentioned or represented in a care symbol on the garment, it still can be used.

Care labels are required on all garments and fabric made into garments, with the exception of leather and suede garments, hats, gloves, socks, footwear, reversible garments and household items made of fabric (think linens, curtains, etc).
