Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Had to see if anyone else thinks it's a tad strange :blink: :p

There is a few Mums that collect their children, wearing slippers, dressing downs and what looks like PJ's on !

I am definitely not a snob ....but I find this soooo strange.

Some Spanish ladies are soooo stunning and stylish....wearing high-heels, designer jeands etc to the MARKET and on a boiling hot day....(there's me in me flip-flops :) )

I think it's quite endearing that the locals don't put on any pretence ......but is this just where I live or is this normal?

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

No, I think it´s pretty much everywhere. Although most of the women wearing dressing gowns in the street are at least 140 years old, not hanging around outside school gates!!:huh:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

No that is normal, all the women no matter what age are in there PJ and dressing gowns most of the day, I could tell winter !!!! was coming when I saw the first in the local shop in her PJ s.
The women here do there house work in them.
I have never seen one in the market though.The designer wear is the norm there.

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

well it goes on in scouse land, was in makro the other day & low & behold this family the wife & kids were walking around in there gymjams & dressing gowns, its a local thing i've found out later :confused:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Welllll - I have to admit to doing this when I first came to Spain, but mainly cos I worked hard and could be bothered to get dressed in the mornings! I did get strange looks and then decided if the car broke down etc I would die of embarrassment!

Now the kids are older there is NO WAY tey will let me out looking like that. Teenagers huh!?! :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

No :ohmy: I'm not having that.....normal :confused: I don't think so!! No....I am shaking my head in disbelief........you are all kidding aren't you :p

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

No, not kidding. They do it round here too. Usually out at about midday cleaning the outside of the house or the pavement or going to the local shop in their dressing gowns and slippers. Sometimes curlers too for that finishing effect.

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Nooooooooo :ohmy: I will believe you but I am still shaking my head in disbelief :blink:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

I´ll see if I can get you some photographic evidence and post it on here. (That is if they don´t think I am a pervert taking photos of old women in their bed wear). :p

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

:lol: Thanks Keith.....this I have GOT to see :blink:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

You made me laugh.....:rofl: I can imagine how shocked you are....cos it just doesn't seem right does it !!

Well off to do last school run.....wonder how many dressing gowns i see out ;)

Not long now and you'll be a part of this mad place :rofl: .....it's mint!!!

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Oh please get dressed first Mrs E :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????

P'raps there should be a prize for the first person to be able to get photographic evidence of this phenomenon (without being arrested) and who posts it on here! No contrived photos allowed!

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Can't wait :blink:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

But do you REALLY want to see them tho .....:eek:

I did get dressed Lionda......I've embraced the Spanish way of life up to a certain point.....;)

Shoot me if I eventually submit to not dressing :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Hillybilly.....I'm slightly worried about you mate :rofl:

The peeps in dressing gowns at the school gates are those that you shouldn't mess with ..... so I aint gunna try snapping them ....I'll be news in the CB News :blink: :p

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Well if you do eventually give in to it I have a very nice pair of striped bed socks with cats on I could lend you, they look pretty sexy with a pair of slippers and a dressing gown ;) (well - I like to think so :lol: )

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Oh wow.....:rofl: they sound fab.....don't wanna get the others jealous tho....when I eventually do the dressing gown thing.....I wanna be subtle...then I'll work up to the stripy/cat bed sock look. Think it'll be worth the wait :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :p

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Spotted at six o´clock this evening entering Supersol.

Dressing gown and slippers.

So what´s my prize???:p

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

OMG :eek: :rofl: Thanks Keith :lol:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

thats fantastic, I once saw a man in his fetching bread early one sunday morning.

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Well I am actually wearing mine now but only because it is so cold today I have had a hot bath to warm me bones and decided to snuggle into my pj's slippers and dressing gown....don't intend leaving the house though ;)

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Well I admit I have popped out to the local shop in my nightdress with an overcoat on, just to get some milk....But I didn't have slippers on.....I may have wellies if it was raining....:D That was in the UK by the way, and no one gave me funny looks....that I was aware of anyway....I think I had cleaned my teeth....I was about 19 at the time....:o But I haven't done it since...I don't think.....

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Somehow....even with clean teeth....I don't think we can excuse you for that Mercedes :lol: ;)

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

It's absolutely true, Lionda!

I don't know about Mums at the school gate, but pretty much all the women aged over about 60 in our village wear their dressing gowns and slippers in public, for the best part of the morning!
They go and buy bread, pop to the village shop, sweep their doorsteps and the street outside their houses - all wearing this attire!!

In fact, this afternoon (about 3.30) we met a village lady out in the campo (countryside) wearing her dressing gown and slippers!!

It's funny how quickly you accept it as being "the norm" though!

My O/H has now joined in.............and wears his slippers to the bar (a 20 metre stagger from our door!!) :D

Because we don't have any outside space with our rented house, I have to take the dog out first thing in the morning - and I must admit to throwing a fleece and tracksuit trousers over my PJs to do so!!
However, I do always clean my teeth, in case I bump into anyone!! :lol:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

How funny !!!!

Can not see it catching on in England.....geez......now I'm imagining my Nan going to ASDA with her bed clothes on.......oooooooooooo...loves ya Nan but would have to say something :rofl:

Starting to slip a little bit tho....have gone out without my concealer on :eek: :blink: scarey !!

But hopefully got a long way to go before I'm borrowing Lionda's sexy bed socks :lol: :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

I don't know, I could have started a new fashion trend, the wellies looked pretty sexy, if they were Jimmy Choos, no one would have blinked....:D

...

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

I used to take my daughters to work every morning (early about 6.30) in my pj's and slippers but I was in the car so please tell me that doesn't count............PLEASE!

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

That doesn't really seem too bad......many years ago my mum used to walk our dog in the early hours to the top of the lane and back in her nightie and dressing gown. We lived in the countryside though so only two rows of houses and everyone was in bed so hopefully she wasn't seen :)

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Hey don't knock the bed socks....they are really cute....even got eyes that roll when you walk :rolleyes: When your standards start to slip just let me know and I'll have 'em washed and aired ready to wear :lol:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Its not just older women I see young girls 18 upwards, younger women with children and middle aged women in fact all ages,
One young woman she cant be any older than 18 and I dont think I have seen her out of her PJ in months unless she is off to the Disco
They all do there house work in the PJ and then pop to the shop to get stuff for lunch.

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

It only counts when you break down, I now remember :ohmy: taking my husband in Oz to work in my pjs and bare feet and ran out of petrol on the way back.... worse my husbands business partner saw me and stopped and gave me a hand. I had only met him once....:o

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Just taken the dog out the front of the house for him to have a piddle with my dressing gown on!!! This thread came into my head so I quickly got back in the house. Cant stop chuckling to myself now lol :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Didn`t he have a job doing it wearing your dressing gown ?

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: He didnt do a job though!!! Only a piddle.

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

The socks have eyes that roll ...really ....ooooo I'm getting tempted now hun :rofl: :

Can't believe they are so many gals admitting to wearing there pjs and dressing gowns out......:rofl:

I'm going get a dog and go for it !!!! :p :D


And Keith....that photo was mint :rofl: :rofl: .........I'm going check out your other thread now........

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

You naughty girl, embarrassing your dog like that....I can just hear him/her thinking, she's not wearing that again is she, better be quick...:D My partner walked out to the washing line to get some clothes in his birthday suit, we thought the house was a bit more private there, hidden by trees and no one could see, until my neighbour made a comment about him having a cute bum.:lol:

Re: Wearing dressing gowns out ????
 

Well I live in South London and have been known to pop out to the car parked on the street in dressing gown and PJs. I cannot see what all the fuss is about. It's all about integration. I remember an actor friend touring in Scotland years ago heading down for breakfast at his digs in gown and pj's to be told by dragon landlandy that this was not done in Scotland!!!
I often garden in Spain in my pjs. It's all about what you feel comfortable in and to hell with the neighbours.
In the Carribbean may women spend the day in headscarf and rollers... out and about in the shops etc etc, in preparation for the evening outing.
Loose your inhibitions people....go upmarket with your pjs and wear them out for all to see.....
