Going out in your pyjamas?
 
I'm wondering whether this just might be what happens in my area of CA, but do you often see people shopping in their pyjamas ... is this some kind of new fashion statement, or is it that some people just cannot be bothered to get dressed on a daily basis?

I regularly see people wearing pyjamas, usually with fluffy slippers to match when out shopping ... not at the malls, just at the big grocery stores and WalMart. I also see women who are in the middle of a perm doing their shopping, and they don't seem in the least bit embarrassed by being out in public with a full set of curlers. On one occasion the woman was wearing pyjamas that actually had an abundance of old food stains on them ... yuk! In general these outfits really do look like they have been sleeping in them for several days ... I'm sure I never saw this in the UK and though I see it on a regular basis here it still surprises me that anyone could go shopping in their pyjamas!

I always assume there is some kind of mental illness involved

The wife has been known to go shopping for groceries in her pyjamas.

This is indeed a taxing subject. If pj's are not acceptable are lounge pants ??
And if lounge pants are indeed acceptable, when do pj's become lounge pants, and when do lounge pants become pj's ??
Feeling dizzy now :eek:

From what I can work out, plain cotton jogging pants are OK out. Printed cotton pj's with 'I love you' or Bright orange basketballs on, are definitley an indoor item and believe me I've put it to the test :D
