Knit tops, and roll them Navy style. Go to QVC and get a couple Susan Graver skirts in basic colors. roll them Navy style. They resist wrinkles and are immortal.  Get a Joy Mangano "My Little Steamer." That will spiff up knits or nylon or permapress blouses in the morning. If you don't have electric at your site, use the steamer in the CG bathroom. If you can not do that, pack your work clothes and your steamer in a big tote, go to work half an hour early in jeans and a tshirt, and steam your clothes there. I have done all of this. Pain in the neck, but it works and your job is temporary.
 
Gcal,
Thanks so much for the tips, I could.take a.steamer.to the.gym,.never would have thought of that!
That would.work! Thanks
 
Mockturtle, that is exactly what I was try to find, because it would.help with insulation and privacy too. Can also move it. The ones for at home.looked like.they would.fall off with vibration. I won't have electricity once I.am done working, andmi always have anstarbucks outfit(one that looks.decent and presentable:)/thanks!
 
Hang the clothes you're going to wear the night before, take a water bottle and spritz them, expecially in the wrinkled areas. The next morning they should be wrinkle free.
 
I use heavy duty expansion shower curtain rods to hang heavier  stuff on.  I use lighter weight expansion curtain rods in doorways with curtains or sheets on them to have more control on what parts of my home I want to be heated or cooled as sometimes there are doorways without  doors.  There is one over my sink with things I use often...... this frees up drawer space.

  I even have them between my interior doors and screen doors....I double hang tab top curtains there and this way people on the street or door knockers can't see right in to my home/apt.  Those and the "BEWARE OF DOG"  "LOOSE IN THE HOUSE" signs attached to them seem to stop unwanted "callers" before they knock...that and Queenie with teeth bared bouncing off the door! 

 I get a lot of the rods at thrift stores...sometimes never opened...on used ones I always expand them a bit and try to push the ends in to test the springs.                TJB
 
I've used Downy Wrinkle Releaser but not sure how it would work on deep wrinkles.
 
I wear button up shirts for work. The ones with finer lines/patterns - especially small plaid patterns don't show wrinkles anywhere near as much as a plain color.

For example, these H&M shirts: http://m.hm.com/us/product/58486?article=58486-H

The white or solid color shirts will look wrinkly even if I try to roll them up nice. The shirt with the red/black/white pattern doesn't look wrinkly, even when it is.
 
Falcon, I think even on my best dressed day, living in a house u and gcal would put me to shame! Hope day is a good one!
