Practically PJ’s

Hallie here — reporting back following our first official weekend a la the unofficial Summer of Yes.

I said yes to a few things this weekend. A few too many things. Like lemon-flavored beer, for starters.

Yesterday, a casual 30 of us took a par-tay bus to the beach for a friend’s birthday. Road pops were the name of the game, my friends — and, well, the rest is history.

Or not, technically. You know.

I unfortunately said yes to a series of sloppy SPF applications, which has left my right calf with splotchy trail of tender pink skin.

Ah, well. LIVIN’! How ’bout you?

Monday’s ensemble is the closest thing to pajamas that you can possibly get away with in a semi-corporate environment. Heaven!

Have you heard of Lyssé? I have a pair of their skinny pants, which I lived in during pants-appropriate weather. (We talked about that last week.)

Today’s pajama-worthy white tee is Lyssé, too. It’s made from their super-soft custom fabric and has a signature liner, which smoothes away lines (and compresses those bagel sins, if you know what I mean). It’s a bit longer in length, so it’ll be a perfect partner to leggings and a front-runner in my closet for months to come.

Lastly, these are the perfect airplane pants I’ve been raving about. If I could wear them every day (and no one would notice), I would.

Now, a big fat Y-E-S to a second cup of coffee and a bacon egg and cheese, please.

  1. I said yes to a rather large sampling of “adult” snow cones and paid for it in a stomach ache from hell. Not sure if this is what you had in mind for our “summer of yes”… I also said yes to a cookie the size of my head and said no to a run when it was just too hot. You win some, you lose some.

  4. I have a semi-similar pair of black pants (a tad more basic—no great cinch at the ankle like yours!) that I wear all. the. time. in the summer. Fantastic & classic style :)

  7. 1. Those “pajama” pants need to make an overnight appearance in my closet. With a pair of closed-toe pumps, I could totally rock that shit at tomorrow’s Court hearing and be comfier than the Judge in her oversized robe.

    2. I said YES! to homemade chocolate ice cream (The recipe will be on my blog tomorrow, btw.) and Season 1 of “Orange is the New Black.” Sounds like we both had a great, calorie-filled weekend. :)
