The Pajama Tales- 5 Funny Things I Do In My Pajamas

by on 05. Nov, 2010 in Erin's Lounge, Uncategorized

pajamas can be the most versatile clothing in your wardrobe. i’ve found many uses for my pajamas and several occasions appropriate to wear them. but first, i call my pajamas “loungewear,” that way i can get away with so much more.

here is a short list of some of the things i do in my pajamas.

pajama tale no. 1- i attend business meetings and make multi-thousand dollar deals. all in my pajamas.
seeing how i home office, working in my pajamas is one of the perks.

pajama tale no. 2- steak and lobster dinners with clients, then after dinner drinks. all in my pajamas.
if you pick the right pajamas, they can double as loungewear, and then triple as daywear. with a change of shoes and accessories, you can achieve a completely different look, taking your pajamas from indoors to out in a flash.

pajama tale no. 3- would you prefer the window or the aisle, while traveling in your pajamas?
what better place to wear your pajamas than on a stuffy, uncomfortable airplane? you’re already packed in the plane like a can of sardines, freezing from the recycled air conditioning air, and sitting next to some odd stranger. if you can’t control anything else in your in-flight environment, at least you can make yourself comfortable with the right outfit.

pajama tale no. 4- i love to greet the neighbors in my pajamas.
whether it’s walking the dog, checking the mail, or simply opening the front door. once you remove the fuzzy slippers, what is there to be embarrassed about, if you make the right choices in your pajamas?

pajama tale no. 5- did he say “let’s get together on friday night?” and i was planning on hanging out in my pajamas. so why should i change my plans?

sassy robes can turn into hot little dresses, when paired with stilettos and the right handbag. dating is tough enough, so be comfortable and cute at the same time. does he need to know you’re in your pajamas? he just needs to see how hot you look!

pajama wearing possibilities are endless. picking the right kind will take your wardrobe farther than you realize. for some of my favorite loungewear pajamas, click here.

It’s bedtime, how do you dress for the occasion? Rules to sleep by…

by on 27. Oct, 2010 in Erin's Lounge, Uncategorized

The temperature is dropping and cozying up in your bed becomes more and more appealing.  Sometimes you’re in your bed solo and other times you may have company.  Certain bedtime situations warrant the age-old question, “What do you like to sleep in?” Everyone has a preference…

  • “a T-shirt and underwear”
  • “boxers and a tank”
  • “a negligee”
  • “I just sleep in my underwear.”
  • “I sleep naked”

No matter what your answer, having sleepwear appropriate for the occasion is necessary Here are some rules on buying the right sleepwear for you.

Rule No. 1- When choosing sleepwear to actually sleep in, make sure it’s comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement.
If you don’t like to be fully covered and always get tangled in long dresses, you may opt for a chemise style instead of a long gown. Perhaps some cute lounge shorts or pants make you more comfortable.

Rule No. 2- When choosing sleepwear to lounge around in, better known as loungewear, make sure it isn’t something that would embarrass you for others to see.
Often times we just want comfortable clothes that we can hang around the house in, and perhaps we’ll sleep in them later. But if an unannounced visitor comes knocking (like UPS or a friend in the neighborhood) you don’t want to feel like you’re scrambling to cover up. The same rule applies when you’re traveling and simply relaxing in someone else’s home.

Rule No. 3- Choose sleepwear that you like, that feels good on your skin and makes you feel attractive.
If flannel pajamas are warm but look frumpy, you may want to choose something more attractive for your significant other. Try soft cottons and modals. They often come in more fashion forward designs than flannel.

Rule No. 4- Consider getting additional matching pieces to give you a more complete look.
Coordinating pieces in sleepwear can make your clothing more versatile. If you chose a chemise for sleep, pick a matching robe so you’ll be more covered around the house.

Rule No. 5- Don’t skimp on quality.
Most people think that spending a lot of money on sleepwear and loungewear doesn’t make the most sense. And for some people, it really doesn’t. But if you spend a lot of time in your sleepwear and loungewear, why wouldn’t you get something that you really love?
