It's a Pajama Party

OK, since it is the weekend I have a fun post for you today. As you probably know wearing your pajamas out is no more considered as an excentricity: celebrities everywhere have been spotted wearing pajamas at events and even the fashion big houses put out "pajama-inspired evening wear" in their collections. The most photographied is probably this Louis Vuitton silk pajama, worn here by Sophia Coppola:

Wearing pajamas head-to-toe is probably too much for any of us who have a real life but wearing a pajama top is easier and doable if you like the trend (I did it here). There are a lot of tops this season that have traditional pajama details like the contrasting piping, but it is more fun if you in fact dare to wear your real pajama top. Part of the fun is to have people wondering if you are wearing a pajama. When I saw this commercial for ToysRUs I wondered if Heidi Klum is wearing a pajama or a shirt that is made to look like a pajama top:

The top that Heidi is wearing could easily be the Vintage pajama set top. This is an item that JCrew has been selling for some time but I just read the description again and I am almost sure that the part that says "Though it's made for sleep, we also love the top layered over a tank and worn with a pair of jeans" is new.
It is true that this pajama is the perfect candidate to be worn out and about. I am actually surprised that we haven't seen Jenna wearing it yet. I don't own the long-sleeve one but I own the short-sleeve version in white and it is so crisp and fab that I have been tempted to wear it out.
Because some of you might be interested to get it with the 25% off, even if it is only to sleep in it, I thought I would post a few pics. I am wearing a XS in this, I am usually a XXS because I am petite and I can't stand having to hem pajama pants but this one has a cropped style and the XXS was too short (and also very small in the waist) even for me:

The great thing about this pajama is the the cotton feels wonderful on the skin, it is very soft and lightweight but the white color manages not to be sheer, at least not the top (it is just a bit in the bottom meaning that if you wear black panties they are going to show through but it isn't sheer as white pajamas can be). I actually tried the top with shorts (I thought I had taken a picture but I couldn't find it) but I think that the short sleeves make it less suited to being worn outside the house. By the way, if you get this, you must find a way to show it off, it is too beautiful to keep it for yourself (even husbands aren't enough of an audience even if I must admit that I am very pleased that my husband constantly compliments me on it). Time to plan a weekend with friends maybe or why not a pajama party.

Do you own the vintage cotton pajama set? Have you warmed up to the wear your pajama trend?
