Working in my PJs

well, I might be waiting apprehensively for my writing to show upelsewhere in the blogosphere and I might have a huge stack of exams to mark, but I am doing those things in the comforts of my own home and have dressed accordingly. I’ve been very much enjoying IndigoAlison’s “Today I Wore” features, and I thought I’d pay her homage by stealing her idea.

Today I’m wearing my wonderfully comfortable sheepskin, hand-beaded, First Nations-made moccasins

with my BedHead cotton flannelette pyjamas. Pricier than your average pjs, these are made from a cotton that washes and washes and gets better and softer, with nary a button falling off or a seam unravelling.Look at the great detailing — contrast piping, a handy little pocket, also piped, and piping at the cuffs

My husband surprised me with my first pair of these a couple of Christmasses ago (gotta love the women he works with who tell him he can’t go wrong shopping for me at HoltRenfrew!). Then in the post-Christmas sales last January, Scarlet had these on for a ridiculously reasonable price and I scooped up a few pair. If you have anyone you want to spoil this Christmas OR if you want to be spoiled yourself, check out theBedHead website. (Not sure that Scarlet carries them anymore, and haven’t checked the new Holt’s for these, but I’ve heard that Hill’s of Kerrisdale stocks Bedhead).

This morning, I grabbed a fleece blanket to wrap around me and my jammies and I went out on the deck with my cup of tea to watch this

turn to this

and then to this

All of which goes a long way toward making me more tolerant of student exams.

Now, ‘fess up — does anyone else out there do pyjama days? No cheating, all-day-in-the-pyjama days?
