PJs?

Do you guys have several matchy/stylish PJs that you can proudly wear in get togethers or meetups? Or is it just me? I have a bunch of mismatching tops and pants that I've collected over the years that I try to put together and ends up looking not so good.. I always feel how much ever i invest in PJs I dont have good ones..I am planning on discading my mismatching separates and get some good ones! Ofcourse, bought some from VS last year and love it..
I want something more age appropriate at the same time a little casual..
But have always been curious about options to buy PJs.
A few good places that I know of:
VS
Old Navy
Target (yes, it really does have some good ones..)
Macys

Any additions to this list and suggestions will be really appreciated!!


************Here's my look*********

This is for Luau.

Appreciate feedback folks...

Hawaii Look book Day

I cannot wait to share my looks from day to night after my recent trip from Hawaii. As much as we enjoyed the visit I enjoyed dressing up part too.
To keep it really concise I have broken it down to Day and Night.
 Starting with airport looks to and from :)

From:


Clearly you can tell the shift in enthusiasm from the pics

I hope the pictures is worth a thousand words but I did write a brief description where I felt necessary.

Day time looks:

 Night time looks to follow :)

As you can see in some I have used makeup and some I kept it simple where the outfit is loud in itself. I played a lot with hair styles but mostly are all easy fix ups. Night time looks are also mostly simple but I made attempt to dress up wherever I got the opportunity :) Hope you guys like this...

Outfit planned around shoes


I bought these Kenneth Cole shoes last year when I was in my third trimester, and could not wear them then since they are a 3 inch heel. After I started going back to work it was too cold to wear them. So I had them packed and away, and discovered them yesterday, and my joy knew no bounds.






The whole outfit is built around the shoes, those were the starting point. I just added the brown skirt, and brown sweater, and the purple-yellow top is my only pop of color!

Shoes: Kenneth Cole
Skirt: The Limited
Top: The Limited
Sweater: Macy's
Earrings: Target

Makeup Recommendation

I recently bought a felt-tip eyeliner from Lancome in Sephora. Usually for most products I try it at Sephora in store let it sit on me for entire day/hours and see how that product reacts/acts with my skin.
So after a decent brush with this eyeliner I choose to buy it. I used it in the morning and I had to rush for a workout in the afternoon. I dreaded that since this is not water-proof I'm in for a mess.
But surprisingly it didn't smudge, with all the perspiration and me wiping it off regularly it didn't come off easy.
And since it's felt-tip it was easy to apply, dark too.
I tried Navy too with consultation from Sephora specialist. They have lots of colors to choose from, but I wanted something that fits my brown eyes.

I would highly recommend this product.It is 30 bucks and I will have to wait and see how long it lasts for me.
