Lets NOT rock this look.

I know you think.. " man I am cool."

I ROCKED slouch socks in every color

I pegged my jeans....

My hair was the highest....

I was the COOLEST!

So now what? Now we are moms. We are still trying to be cool. We wear the latest fashions(or try to at least) the hair is smaller, so are the socks and the jeans don't risk causing such a loss of blood supply that we can no longer feel our feet. But when in our years of striving to be cool and be the one people wanted to look like did we find this......

acceptable? Grown ups, in cutesy colorful pj pants IN PUBLIC? I will admit I rocked my Old Navy (not plus size) pj pants to the Mum's pajama day meeting... Then I drove straight home and GOT DRESSED. What does wearing your pj pants in public tell people about you???? "Why yes I have given up" That's what it says. In a world of super cute stylish and more practical casual wear PUT THE PJ'S IN THE DRAWER after DAWN and leave them there until after you are in for the night... if comfort is what you seek for a quick run to the store for that gallon of milk you forgot there are these great things called pants. Throw on some yoga pants and a shirt. At least then when people see you they will no longer think "that poor woman." they will think" man I wish I had time to workout, she is so lucky"

So to recap..... say it with me fellow mommas (and apparently some dads, which I have to admit is even sadder than the mom's) ....

PJ pants GOOD INSIDE.....

PJ pants BAD OUTSIDE.....

the one and ONLY exception is when you 15 year old daughter has smart mouthed you for the last time. Then you throw on the pj pants and pick her up at school, standing BESIDE your van and waving like a lunatic and screaming "HERE I AM HONEY!!!!!!!! MOMMAS HERE TO PICK YOU UP.... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"  and feel free to follow that with "oh he IS CUTE!" and point to some boy.
