I can guarantee that's not me in those PJs. Could it be you?

Definitely not! However I would love one of those dresses! A few changes from the tailor and yes!

No, it's not me either and I've never seen anyone dressed like this in public.

If that's the DMV, they probably got there at 8am and know they won't be to the front of the line and out of there until 9pm tops.

That's so crazy to me why people get out in public that way. There's a site online of pictures taken just in Walmart of people dressed like this and much worse. It's worth a google lol

I read an amusing definition of "style" on Facebook:

"My style is I did not think I had to get out of the car."

That could not be me. But, I have seen some women dressed like that over the past couple of years. Several of the ones I saw were tighter, much tighter.

I see people at stores wearing pajama bottoms all the time, mostly men.

I've also seen high school kids walking home from school in pajama bottoms. I guess anything goes nowadays.

The ladies wearing the onesies are headed for jury duty hoping to get dismissed.

i would NOT want to dress like people did back in the 40s or 50s. When I do see someone wearing pjs in public, it's often an older person (like me) , who looks like they are having difficulty getting around.

I was in Galloway NJ , early Dec one year . An entire family of 4 generations of women dressed in the same printed PJ's all came down to the breakfast area at the hotel where I was staying . Yes, the entire family all in the same print PJ's like you see in that Pajamagram catalog . It was something

Towns in Maine have a sales event called "Pajama Party," where the gift stores open up for locals in the off-season after Thanksgiving--but they must be in their pajamas to get the discount.

I attended with my sister once during a visit, and it was so much fun! The bargains, and a man with a beard in his long-johns, and other people just going with the theme and being goofy. Maine also has a town in which when the residents start to go crazy with the long winter, in March, they indulge in nude bowling. Or they did a few years ago; global warming is even changing Maine....

@Kachina624 Nope! That is crossing the line. I will wear my faded jeans and a flannel shirt to the grocery, but that is a low as I go on the dress code scale.

@Kachina624 @cheriere My first thought was, "They must be at Walmart." I do remember when people dressed nicely when going shopping, the airport, church and many other places.

@Kachina624 It's not me either but I see it and just think people just don't care. I just came back from a quick grocery store run. There was a lady walking into the store by me. Maybe in her 6Os (like me) with a very thin t-shirt and no bra. Sorry but she was large and hanging down low and it looked bad. I was so tempted to say "lady you need to put a bra or a sweater on" but of course it's none of my business so I didn't. I don't know what people are thinking.

@SilleeMee That's a good one!

Not me since I don't wear pj's. Birthday suit is much more comfortable.

@Mersha

I will ask dh when I have to drive him somewhere and I am still in my workout clothes, do I have to get out of the car? If I have to get out of car, I need 15 more minutes. He shakes his head wondering why I would care. I tell him I have no intention of being one of those people other people say...can you believe she left her house like that?
