Call me slightly reserved, conservative, or even old fashioned? I'm finding it shocking still after many years of the "it's okay to wear your pj's in public" look. I'm trying to evolve with the times, heck I have an ipad now. Got one last month. I have the chip on my visa too and I don't wear one on my shoulder. This is just a little observation that seems foreign to me. I'm in line at Vons buying some turkey sausage, almond milk and bananas. I notice the sweet gal in front of me is wearing Light Pink Hello Kitty pajama bottoms and some blue fuzzy slippers. It's 2pm. I'm caught in a magnetic gaze for moment, then turn my head toward the candy, the several gum options and now the 6 flavors of m&m's. I can't look ahead at her. I don't want to stare. I try to keep my face in a normal semi relaxed interested in the candy tone.
She may have only had time to get half dressed. Yes, that's it. Maybe she was buying emergency dog food, or milk for her kids, or condoms. I'm not making assumptions, just find it interesting.
I think there are some folks that actually wear these threads intentionally. I really do. I've seen 'em in various places...very various places.
I have an idea for a new shopping experience. The Pajama Store. Folks are free to wear their pj's, long t-shirts, boxers and almost whatever they sleep in. Robes would also be acceptable. Nothing transparent though until after 10pm.
I admit that every now and again I wear a giant necklace, feathered earrings or a ridiculous cocktail ring to a non cocktail party. I get that we are all different and want to feel good in our skin and clothes.
So maybe it's something I need to try. I shall expand my little world. Now...where is my "This IS my sexy lingerie" night shirt?
Haha! I recently discovered the joy of wearing pjs in public. Granted, I only do this on cruises when I go down to the promenade for coffee/danishes. But I am slowly adopting the 'I should care what you think, why?" attitude. I think it comes naturally with age.
