I wonder how women of all ages can actually walk around shops in pyjamas and rollers. But some how they manage to bother putting their false eyelashes on. Is there some thing that you are curious about when observing other people?
Unless you're somehow incapacitated or unexpectedly running late I think it's slovenly and disrespectful to not be washed and dressed when your hairdresser is coming.
Presumably the hairdresser in question could see that the pyjamas were last night's attire and not today's loungewear, or she wouldn't have mentioned it.
I hope the people who let her into their homes find new hairdressers. How disrespectful to then go and gossip to other clients. I find that behaviour pretty dire.
Other day I saw a young mum walking her toddler to school, wearing what looked like her pyjamas and furry flip flop type of slippers with a longish coat over the top, wonder what school teachers would think if they saw her..
Does it matter what school teachers think? Since when were they so important? As long as the child is clean, tidy, fed and has comfortable homelife, that's all that matters. It's a shame these judgemental people vanish into the ether when real abuse of children goes on.
Yesterday I saw a man in my local shopping centre who was wearing a peaked cap, very colourful shirt, patterned sports jacket, knee length patterned pleated skirt, long striped socks and scarlet trainers. Hard not to stare but each to their own!
I have been known to spend the day in my pjs if I'm not going out. They're comfortable and cool if the weather is hot. Mind you I don't go shopping in them and I don't wear them in bed so they not sweaty from the previous night. I wash my sheets every week. I don't see why we have to be up washed and dressed first thing if we're having a day off.
I love people watching. Some people seem to be amazingly laid back, others have wild (to me) fashion ideas but look great, some are in the middle of arguments (usually couples) and others look as if they have the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Ive not seen anyone in pyjamas, but on a train recently saw a girl with huge rollers in her hair, each to their own. People visiting then sit looking at their phones irritates me,they are visiting US!
I must admit I‘ve never seen a man out in his pyjamas.
saw one just before Christmas putting petrol in his car dressed in a pair of boxers and what looked like his mothers/girlfriends shorty dressing gown and fluffy pink mules.
The ladies I see in their slippers and pyjamas are walking their dogs locally. They look clean and comfortable, but I do wonder if they are not wearing what we might consider outdoor clothing because they feel unmotivated or even depressed. I only say this because the only time I might stay in my nightwear (at home) would be due to illness or depression.
I love “people watching” I’m not judgemental but often highly amused and curious !! Favourite hobby especially when string alone with a coffee in a busy location !!
Although I am housebound I shower and dress and put on Makeup every morning. Have tried not doing so but felt awful. I do get ready for bed as soon as I have finished my evening meal. When my husband came to collect me after the birth of my baby he forgot to bring my shoes. Had to travel home on the bus in flimsy slippers. We couldn’t afford a taxi.
The only thing that I think about when I see someone in what looks like slippers is that the pavements are none too clean - so if they are really their slippers and they were them indoors too then they are potentially getting horrible things on their indoor floors.
Time have changed. I remember my mother being horrified seeing someone in an outfit with an elasticated waist. She said that it would be too easy to put on weight if you always wore such things. She was born 1917.
In all honesty, I really have no interest in what people choose to wear....it doesn't impact on me at all so until it does, I don't care. I can recall my son standing on the path of a previous home some years ago in pyjama bottoms and my neighbour seemed delighted to pass a comment but at the time he was recovering from surgery and they were the only things that offered comfort.
One thing I have noticed in people, especially those younger is the inability to speak at a normal volume! Conversations seem to be shouted regardless of the topic.
There will be many amongst the pj wearers who will change their clothes twice a day yet are happy to go out in the pjs worn all night in a warm atmosphere. Yuck, at least sweatshirt and joggers please.
I sometimes wonder about the shopping in pyjamas thing, maybe it could be depression but then you wouldn't bother with the eyelashes would you? No matter how bad things have been I pride myself of getting out of bed, washed and dressed properly to face the world and whatever it's going to throw at me.
I sometimes see people in dressing gowns by the entrance to the local hospital (a non-smoking site) hooked up to IV medication stands, puffing away on a cigarette. Sad that they are so addicted that they can't give up even when ill. OTOH if you really are on your last legs I suspect it makes little difference to the prognosis.
Bijou I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time but it sounds funny now.
I wonder when I see the outline of someone's pants through their extremely tight leggings worn with short top. I wonder do they not look in a mirror before leaving home.
