Pyjama Day

It's been a while but I miss doing this and I've got a bit of time on my hands this week so bear with...

Christmas has come and gone but one thing endures and gets worn on repeat. I absolutely love my pyjamas. Not any old pyjamas mind. I like proper ones with a shirt style top and wide leg drawstring bottoms and if they are cotton and have a bit of a piped edging then I'm all over them. 

I may have self gifted. Look at these beauties from Bodas (Net a Porter) and 50% off right now. Admire the burgundy piping. Thrill at the soft white cotton.  

But Him Indoors did not disappoint. He knows about my PJ habit and came up trumps with only the most covetable set of sleepwear on the planet. 

These Desmond and Dempsey beauties were under my tree wrapped up in a specially designed pillowcase. They seem to be sold out. Mine were on back order apparently. And I knew I was in good company when Alex from The Frugality popped up wearing hers on Instagram. 

I already have the pineapple version. They are so lovely I regret not wearing them out of the house. Mine are the white and green but they seem to be sold out as well.  Here's the navy which I think are also pretty cool. 

All this enables me to side step the other nightwear look which involves frothiness and lace and which just makes me guffaw at the very thought of seeing myself swanning around in a silk confection. Maybe I'm missing the point. I guess you aren't supposed to "swan" around in stuff like that but lounge in a seductive fashion. See what a mean. Very funny. 

I did once try the cashmere onesie. But it had a hood. Pet hate (except on a parka). And I tried to overlook this by its very softness. But it had to go because of its heat generating efficiency. If you are prone to feeling cold. You can't go wrong. If you are hitting your fifties in a centrally heated house and want to give out more heat than a striking coal miner's brazier. Bad choice. 

I'm so in love with the pj look that I am determined that I'm going to wear them out. With a break from tradition I'm going out in this on NYE.  Cue slightly bemused but resigned look from Him Indoors.
