Dress Codes

Pajama Ban

Elsa — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:17:33 +0000

I have been pretty attached to my pajamas lately. I’ll even admit to being tempted to wear them to the grocery store last week. I didn’t, but not because I thought it would be “indecent” or anything like that. There’s really no difference between my pjs and anything I’d happily walk to the gym in. (Mostly, I just like to get dressed.)

But, apparently there’s a war against our right to wear flannel in public! Check out this great article on Lowering The Bar about a proposed ban on pajamas in public: If Pajamas Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Wear Pajamas
