A Great Book+Pajamas+Summer=Perfect

Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
— Henry James (1843-1916)

Aaah, summer.   It’s time to curl up on the hammock, lounge on the deck chair, plop on the beach or under the tree and grab a little rest and relaxation.  I love the stack of glossy magazines full of gossip, fashion, news and features.  I also love the Sunday papers and the wonderful hardback book….and with pajamas…only perfect!  Lounging and summer go together.  No excuses required, it’s summer afterall.

At the moment I’m well into The Memory Collector from Meg Gardiner, a crime thriller.  For my next read, yes, I’ve turned to Oprah.com and her “25 books you can’t put down” list.

What are you reading in your pajamas this summer?

Why Pajamas Make Me Happy

Yes, it’s true…Pajamas make me happy!  Here’s why:

  • It’s the ahhhhhh factor:  You know when you plop into that comfy chair, that cozy couch, that scrumptious bed?  You know what it’s like to just sigh that happy sigh?  Pajamas do just that for me.  Whether it’s a new fresh pair or an old  favorite, the yummy fabric always feels fabulous.
  • It’s the comfort factor:  Pajamas originated as a loose fitting garment and have always been famous for comfort.  Most of my pajamas are an elastic with drawstring waist which is really creates the perfect fit.  With the option to be loose fitting, high or low waisted creates perfect comfort.  There is nothing better than leaving clothes of the day behind and pulling on a great pair of pajamas…isn’t it a good way to kind of leave the stresses of the day behind also?  Pajamas are also there for those chilly days and nights when flannel just warms the body.  Flannel pj’s, cozy socks and a favorite drink got me through many a cold new england evening! 
  • It’s the fun factor:  There are only a few garments that allow for a full expression of personality to shine through.  Pajamas are one.  Pajama prints can reflect your love for dogs, flowers,cars, trains, soccer, cats, martinis, apples, dancing, cakes, golf, football, Paris, pansies, sushi,  ballet, bears and more.  A dog lover can wrap herself/himself in a pair of pj’s covered with happy dogs, pure bliss!  Having a bad day?  Jumping into a fun pj can only help.  For those who always loved their footie pajamas as a child, a pair of footie pajamas for adults provide a little bit of nostalgia and memories of innocence. 
  • It’s the versatility factor:  Pajamas just go with everything and fit my style.  Sometimes, I’m cold and want to snuggle up in a long sleeved shirt and long flannel pant just for the warmth and comfort. Or I might find extra warmth and comfort in a footie pant and shirt or onsie footie pajama in a great flannel or fleece.    Other days, I want to be more trendy with a pajama pant rolled at the waist for the low waisted hipster fit combined with my favorite tee shirt or tank.  When the weather is warm, I love the capri pant with short sleeved top. Sometimes, I love to roll the capri pant and make it a bermuda short….that’s very happy.  See what I mean, it’s all about versatility.  My pajamas. My way.

The Best Pajamas for Busy Moms

Aqua Footies

By Ellie Badanes

The life of a busy Mom is just that…busy!  And the key is always comfort.  When the day starts early and ends late with a zillion accomplishments, crises, panics and celebrations in between, perfect pajamas can just make everything a little bit better.  Here at The Pajama Company, we love to see Mom happy.  We love our comfy drawstring pajama pants in fun prints, perfect to just “live” in.  Pair a great pajama pant with your favorite tee or sweatshirt.  Our pj’s are perfect to go the distance from the bus stop to the home office to the activities of the day.  To see big smiles and fits of giggles on little and big kids alike we love seeing Mom in our footed pajamas for grownups!  Relax to the max in cotton flannels, cozy fleece or cool cotton jersey in a variety of colors.  Mom can have some fun putting kids to bed when she’s sporting her own Big Feet pajamas! And when the day is winding down, Mom can wind down in “pajama bliss” for a little “me” time.

Pajamas in the Spring

Beached DuckyJump into Spring with some fresh, fun pajamas.  Give Winter a little nudge out the door with a great new pajama from Frankie & Johnny.  We love our new “Beached Ducky” print in blue poplin, our “Cocktails” print in pink poplin and our “Parisian Toile” classic pink poplin.  100% cottons just feel sensational.  Spring pj’s are perfect to put on when you walk in the door and sad to take off in the morning light (only if you must!)

Grab a little taste of spring with sunshine, flowers and pretty pajamas…we highly recommend it!
