No Qualms About This Quandary

Unaccustomed to being a lounge lizard meant one of life’s big questions posed a quandary. Hypothetically if you are ensconced in comfy PJs ( pyjamas), fluffy high grade Egyptian cotton dressing gown and slippers is there any point in the day when you can ethically and morally justify staying in them all day?

If there is no necessity to venture further than your own mailbox (behind high fences), do you have to get dressed or even showered (hygiene issues aside)?

The pros of staying in bed attire are;
- Not having to decide what to wear.
- Cutting down on ironing
- Reducing your environmental impact by reduced laundry activities

Cons;
-Inability of justifying buying new clothes
-Unexpected visitors catching you in your nightie

Maybe it is a timing issue. If the hours before you hit the bedroom again are less that the time since you left it then stay in the dressing gown and don’t feel guilty. If not, get changed and venture past the front gate.

If you are seeking guidance on this issue to ease any niggling feelings of guilt, you are looking in the wrong place.

I'm thinking the 2XU attire is a good compromise. That way, when unexpected visitors arrive, you can claim to have just been meditating in "tree pose".

Where's the photo of you in your slinky nightie?

There is NEVER any justification needed for being in jamies all day, even beyond the front gate. The other day I went to the shops with my PJs top neatly hidden under hubby's big jumper ...

It is 5.50 pm. Did you have a SOCA (Sleep On Couch Arvo)? Now for the big question - are you still in your jamies?

Depends on whether or not the whole attire is colour co-ordinated AND the colour.

Now that you put it that way...I think it is your environmental responsibility not to get out of your pyjamas...and perhaps we should all be joining you...although the way the weather has been, it will have to be thick flannelette PJs, polar fleece dressing gowns and ugg boots if we're going to venture outside.
