Ok, is it just me, or are you tired of seeing people leave their homes in pajama pants?
Whether it's plaid, striped over covered with the "Dr. Pepper," logo, pajama pants are everywhere.
Every time I see someone walking in the mall, waiting in line at the grocery store, ordering food at a restaurant, or even just hanging out anywhere (besides their home) with pajama pants on, it makes me cringe.
What is wrong with these people?
What are they saying with this look?
To all you pajama-wearing fashion victims, this is what your "outfit" says to me, and the rest of the population:
"I just rolled out of bed, and here I am!"
"I don't own any pants."
"I wish every day was a pajama party day!"
"I have not done laundry in ages - note the dirty bottoms of my pajama pants."
"I'm waaaaaay too lazy to throw on some sweats."
"I bet you thought only trainwreck celebrities could get away with this look."
"Stacey and Clinton (this is a "What NOT to Wear" reference) would be soooo proud."
"I think I'm really cool, and that I'm being trendy, but I look a hot mess."
For heaven's sake, people, have you heard of sweatsuits that you run errands in?
Could you put on some jeans?
Don't you have any friends/family/anyone to be honest with you about this fashion flub?
And, no, I don't care if you were just running out for a minute. Put some darn pants on - ones that are MEANT to be worn outside the house.
The only exceptions are house fires that force you from your home, being carted from your bedroom on a stretcher to the hospital, going into labor, taking a sick child to to emergency room and other emergencies where you have little time for fashion options.
Otherwise than that, DO NOT leave the house in them.
Other items you should not be outside in:
Your do-rag (No, that long tail on it DOES not make you look cool.)
Your wrap scarf (This does not include fashion head scarfs meant to be worn outside with your big hoop earrings.)
Your pink bunny slippers
Any bunny slippers
Any bedroom slippers
Any bathrobe (unless there was a fire, and it was the ONLY thing you could find)
A dirty, white tank top (men, women, children - NO ONE should wear this outside)
Any others, that I left out, or didn't add to this important list?
This concludes my rant on pajama pants. Please stay tuned for new blog posts this week.
I am old-school; pajama pants are for in the house; not roaming around in the street making us all wonder if you have any other clothes. All that is fashionable is not always a good idea.
This completely irks me, too. And I think Victoria's Secret's Pink line is to blame for some of this. I love their stuff, but I see girls out with those sweat pants that say "PINK" on the behind all the time. Those are supposed to be pjs, not a fashion statement!
