Pajama Dressing

Pajama dressing is a trend that I’ve admired from a far. While I think so many fashion bloggers and enthusiasts can pull it off so well, I worry about looking like I just rolled out of bed. The struggle is real to keep it looking too casual, but I think in today’s outfit, I’ve been able to merge the casual cool of the pajama trend with an outfit that looks intentional.

While I try not to let what others think of me have an impact on my style, sometimes situations arise that just shock you. Let me tell you a little story about one time when I was in Florida. From across the beach, a rude man yelled at me, “why are you wearing pajamas to the beach?!” Clearly he just didn’t understand my trendy, printed knit pants were not pajama pants but instead cute and comfortable pants that were perfect for a variable temperature like Florida in January. Offended and concerned others must think the same way, I packed my knit pants away and only wore them around the house. While that was probably a little silly on my part, it got me thinking about how much fashion can impact what others may think of you.

Recently I decided to try the trend again. After seeing it come down the runway, again and again, it’s clear it wasn’t just something to be worn around the house. Embracing satin button ups with piping, slip dresses, and knit pants is okay! In fact, I think the trend is pretty darn cute and who cares if someone thinks you just rolled out of bed?!

I think there are several things you can do, however, to make pajama dressing look intentional, not sloppy. I thought I’d share some of those tricks I employed in my outfit with you!

9 Ways to Add Self Care to Your Daily Routine

You know what’s really hard? Taking time for yourself. It gets harder and harder the older I get. The more life throws at me, the first thing to go is taking care of myself. Sure, I get ready every morning, put some makeup and clothes on, but what the self care I’m referring to goes beyond that. I’m talking about having “me” time. Time to relax, zone out, and do the thing that makes you happy and is not for anyone else.

9 Ways to Add Self Care to Your Daily Routine

It’s hard for me to be able to take long stretches of time to myself, so while I’d love to schedule a spa day on the regular, it’s not only not budget-friendly, but it’s also not practical. I’ve tried to get in better habits of adding self-care to my normal routine, and I thought I’d share some of those tips with you today!

Fewer, Better Things

If I had to think of an ideal way to live, it would most definitely follow the “fewer, better” mantra. Keeping the things that bring joy, giving away the things that don’t, and investing in the experiences, memories, and things that will last a lifetime. While I will never be a minimalist (much to the chagrin of my significant other), I can work on ways to minimize the amount of “things” that I consume and keep, and find new ways to repurpose, donate, or recycle the things that I don’t need.

Fewer, Better Things with Cuyana

I was recently introduced to the brand Cuyana who epitomize the “fewer, better things” lifestyle. In fact, they champion the #fewerbetter hashtag on social media, and it’s clear they’re pieces are something different. Clean, minimal lines. Beautiful fabrics and neutral tones that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. Silhouettes that are flattering and timeless. The perfection of these styles is in their simplicity, and in their ability to fit into any woman’s existing wardrobe. From a new button up for work, a timeless crossbody that fits just the essentials, or a trench coat that will keep your outfit from getting soaked in a rain shower, each piece was created to fill a particular need.

The Dress You Need to Add to Your Closet Stat

You know you’re in trouble when you walk into Target and the entire clothing section is 25% off. That happened to me a few weeks ago when I went to innocently pick up a prescription. I’ll just take one small peek, I said to myself. And then I returned the next day because I just couldn’t quit. Fortunately, I got out spending less than $100, but not before this little yellow dress captured my heart. Well, and a few more goodies, but I’ll be sharing those later. ;)

This little yellow dress has bell sleeves, a tie neck, and is the perfect amount of flowy. With a floral print on a mustard fabric, it’s the perfect mix of 70s vibes and updated to make it on-trend for spring. While it might be too short for the office, it’s most definitely perfect for any casual get together, date night, or to throw on over a bathing suit come summer. (Am I the only one dreaming of the warm weather of summer?!) Oh, and did I mention it was less than $30? Total score.
