Fashion Statements From The Bedroom

Today was the dreaded day that I cleaned off the desk, and the shelves next to the desk, and the over flowing files, and all the junk mail, and filled a recycling bin. It was that kind of day.

I opened up one of several catalog advertisements that were going to be tossed to give myself a mental break. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I was wearing what one of the models was wearing!


The caption is "Introducing tomorrow's fashion icon: The Pajama Pant. Style it for the weekend with an effortless peasant top".

All I need to get is a fancy off the shoulder peasant top and some gold flip flops and this could be me. No joke, the pants I am wearing (that really are pajama pants) are exactly like this: black ikat and I love them. I can't tell you how many times I have worn them to drop the kids off at school, and some days to pick up too!

I have heard that all you need to pull of any look is confidence. I don't know that I could wear the same pants I slept in around town with the confidence necessary to rock it. But maybe, since I am moving anyway, I will give it a try. Lipstick and some big sunglasses should help!

Maybe pajama pants are the new yoga pants? This could be the first trend that I participated in while it was still trendy.  I am usually a good 5 years late. In fact, this past weekend I bought my first Maxi dress. Still haven't worn it, but I bought it. That's a start.

  1. Running shorts! That's my favorite. Looks like you're just running errands on the way to the gym ;)

    2. If I had legs that would tan in the summer I would wear running shorts. But these babies need to be covered!

  2. I'm so disappointed, Jane!!! I thought I was going to see a picture of you (or at least your bottom half) modeling the bottoms in that same pose!!! LOL!

    1. I thought long and hard about a self portrait from the waist down in the same pose, maybe I will do an update. And I have stayed away form the maxi for the same reason. Well, that at the fact that I look like I am swimming in them. But I finally found one in a solid color in a petite size that I thought I'd give a try. They almost look like pajamas, and if all else fails maybe I'll wear it to bed:-)

    1. I got them at TJ Maxx several months ago before I knew I could wear them as clothes. They are 100% cotton and would probably wrinkle more than the ones pictured. But they are the same pants!
