Jammie Time!

I am pretty sure it goes something like this: wake up, scrutinize over your wardrobe for a milla-second, put on the most pulled together look you can muster, roll to work where you are inevitably complimented on some portion of your outfit (dress, skirt, shoes, jewelry etc) then go home and immediately change into your jammies (or some variation therein).

For the longest time I thought this practice was something that only existed in the all-female Muse household growing up. I'd watch shows like Lipstick Jungle and think no way Lindsay Price's character wears that around the house! But my secret fear was that she DID and I was the strange one. I can remember Mother Muse changing into some pretty choice jammie attire after school and the saddest truth was that Papa Muse kind of forgot what Mother Muse looked like in real clothes. Needless to say, the apple doesn't not fall far from the tree and these habits are deep seeded in me, and I had to know -- Does everyone have Jammie Time?

I began taking a sort of subtle poll of my friends and was beyond happy to find out that YES!!! everyone does Jammie Time!!! As if some release from the confines of your day, people change into sweatpants, jammies, yoga pants, brief cotton underwear...you name it! No wonder this is such a huge market for "loungewear". If you are looking for some cute loungewear check out lululemon and Target as nice alternatives to the Juicy Couture that swept the nation a few years ago!

Any Jammie habits or theories on Jammie time? Let the Muse know!
