I usually hit the pjs pre-couch-time if I'm in in the evening, so the layering has to see me through from the fireside to sitting up reading in an unheated bedroom with the window open, to sleeping in same, under many blankets, with furnace-husband and two gravity-enhanced cats holding the duvet down tight.<br /><br />I love flannel pj bottoms and snuggly socks with a soft jersey (sweater?) on top and sometimes a padded workshirt open on top of that. But does no one else use their shortie silk nighties, V's Secret or vintage, as the undershirt component? That's my usual compromise.<br /><br />I sort of agree that working in your peejes means missing a good bit of the day, but going from one set to another after a late shower feels great too!<br /><br />The danger is that you can - like me last week - forget you're not dressed and find yourself halfway to the post office in pink flannel bottoms with blue poodles and "ooh-la-la!" all over them.Catriona McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234089279665716446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-45993635896082782362012-01-28T19:13:02.813-05:002012-01-28T19:13:02.813-05:00So....

I have pretty much recycled too-large gym clothing and put it to use for sleeping. Some years ago, I lost a ton of weight after back surgery and could no longer wear most of my wardrobe. The things that were still in good shape went to Good Will, except for the gym clothing, which was too worn out to be given way. I can't stand to throw anything away and I HATE shopping of any kind, so I try to make do with what I've got!<br /><br />I stopped wearing nightgowns because my constant tossing and turning resulted in me getting wrapped up so tightly that sometimes I could barely move!<br /><br />After reading today's responses, I think it's amazing that companies that make sleepwear for women manage to make any money at all! I suspect that a lot of things are purchased by guys for their "honeys", and then get put away in a drawer!<br /><br />Deb RomanoDeb Romanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-90620479572457603482012-01-28T15:12:52.666-05:002012-01-28T15:12:52.666-05:00I can't help but notice we have men commenting...I can't help but notice we have men commenting, but not throwing down the details.

So, it's "jammie" day...<br />I have all kinds of sleep wear, some tucked away for so long I'm afraid to pull them out for fear they'll distintigrate in my hands -- that's the fancy, uncomfortable stuff. Lots of t-shirts,(many from concerts or with political statements) short/long-sleeved depending on season. Can't do the long gowns as I also end up like a mummy, trapped in bed while the cat pats me on the head to wake me up. I've decided the most comfy bottoms are soft cotton "jammie" pants from Danskin, Cherokee, etc., long legs in winter, short in summer. We have major seasonal temp changes her in VA. And, every pair is in grey. The cat? She's grey, too, so even though she snuggles next to me at night, I don't show all the fuzz she deposits on me when I get up. In the winter, she's my fuzzy hot water bottle. Oh, and don't forget the fleecy sleep sox! I especially like my pair with the peace signs.
