Have you seen the TLC series 'What Not to Wear'? The premise of the show is that 2 fashionistas help a fashionless individual become fashion savvy. The idea is to help viewers choose what to wear on their body type. The hosts of the show would go absolutely bananas in our town! In fact, I don't think they could choose just ONE person to pick on and help update their wardrobe.
I have yet to figure out why is it acceptable for ANYONE to go shopping in their pajamas and slippers. Several parents are often seen taking their babies out in diapers only - no additional clothing. This is a daily occurrence, and should be extremely embarrassing. It is embarrassing to me!
As I have stated before, this Joe is not from this town. Where I hail from, wearing pj's, anything resembling pj's, slippers or carrying naked babies just isn't acceptable. In fact, most people don't even have to be told that they cannot enter a store based on their appearance, there is just a standard that folks abide by.
Please don't misconstrue what I'm trying to say... I'm not asking for people to get dressed in their 'Sunday best' just to go shopping or anywhere out of the house. Rather, I am expecting that they simply dress in their everyday clothes. Even a comfy jog suit beats pjs!
So, to clarify... pajamas, slippers, oversized sweatshirts combined with sweats and sandals or slippers is a major faux pas. Do not pass go. Don't even leave the house. Order in. Do some online shopping. Whatever. Keep your laziness to yourself.
