Mommy…why are you wearing your pajamas to work?
May 15, 2012
I really don’t think preschoolers can comprehend trends or styles…but they know what it means when you say, ”everyone else is doing it.”
That’s exactly how I responded to my daughter when she questioned these pants before I left the house. “Pajama pants are ‘in’, Julia…and these aren’t mommy’s pajama pants anyway. They’re work pants.” And with that said, I kissed her good-bye, and departed for school. The whole car ride I imagined her as a teenager…dressing in who knows what…giving me the same line. “But everyone else is wearing them, mom.”
Oh, I can hardly wait.

They really are comfy! The trick though is to wear heels…otherwise they truly do look like pj pants!
Absolutely love the double stripes–and those pants are fabulous!
Thanks, lady! I’ve been all about stripes on stripes!
Hahaha I’m sure your daughter will dress fine learning from you! Besides, those pants look great with the rest of your outfit!
Thanks! That’s reassuring! I’m sure that there’ll be some interesting battles ahead though!
love those pants april!
Thanks, Megan!
Such a fun look! It looks comfortable too.
Thank you, Alicia! It was beyond comfy!
this is such a funny post. I can only imagine how this conversation will shift later… =)
great look though!
Ha…I know! Only the future will tell! I’m sure those teenage years will be here before I know it!
I’ve thought about going to the pajama pant aisle at the thrift store and looking for wide leg pants! Yours look great!
Thanks, Mandy! I found ‘em with the dress pants. They’re Gap…size M if you want to give them a try!
Totally cracking me up!! This is too good.
Cute pants, I love the red lipstick!

Ha!! You don’t look like you’re in your PJ’s at all. Very cute and well put together.
Mothers have a big influence over their daughters’ styles, esp a fashionable one like you! You also take fabulous photos, by the way.
