Pajamas Go Beyond The Bedroom

What better way to start the day than in bright sunshine orange pajamas that feel like silk and look sensational. Don’t confine these pajamas to the bedroom. Both the designer and Dress For Less versions are perfectly appropriate for day or evening wear.

Designer Josie Natori, known for flowing, elegant styles that have redefined lingerie in the ‘90s, is responsible for both outfits featured this week.

The designer version is from the upscale, sophisticated Natori line and features bell sleeves, braided piping and knotted buttons. The Dress For Less version carries the Josie label and is designed for a younger, fun look. The Josie tunic has ties to adjust for a more- or less-fitted look. Both ensembles are 100 percent polyester and machine washable.

I really like the tassel necklace and earrings by Two Sisters. It’s a bargain at the department-store price, but I’ve also seen these accessories at Marshalls. You may want to look for them at other off-price stores such as T.J. Maxx.
