I had my ‘Pyjama Rainy Day’ where the pyjamas stayed firmly inside the house. Now the sun is out, the pyjamas can now come out to play. If tracksuit bottoms, Ugg’s and old uni sweatshirts was the sort of final year uni uniform that I saw often at UCL, especially around dissertation time, then it stands to reason that a prettier kind of nightwear should be allowed the same rights to be paraded in public. Note, I use the words pretty as opposed to racy. Racy/sexy nightwear has its place as outerwear too of course but today, it was about loose, girly and loungey as opposed to full on seduction gear. Afterall, it is a quiet Sunday and I was out to gather some Mother’s Day stuff for a dried flower extravaganza I’m making (the mothership specifically requested ‘Nothing expensive!’).
So a thrifted/vintage ensemble of nighwear ensued. The floral night shirt was newly picked up yesterday for ¬£1.50 at a charity shop, a vintage teal slip skirt, a Marks & Spencer night shirt again from a charity shop and an old rose nightgown that I tied up at the back. The colours remind me a little of the painting ‘The Swing’ by Jean-Honore Fragonard and actually I love the way I sort of blend in with the painting here… but my local high street with its KFC and Budgens will have to suffice…
The outfit is beautiful…as is the background- and to be honest, it doesn’t look like your run-of-the-mill sleepwear at all.
PS: The floral nightshirt is my favourite!
I love this. K
The colors are lovely and if I were next to you I would be temped to “pet” you–all the fabrics look luscious and very touchable.

Ooh, again the colours are amazing. I need to get meself a nice silk bed jacket..
When worn like this, I can hardly believe that all the pieces are actually sleepwear! The colours are not something I traditionally like, but they look so gorgeous together like that 🙂 This gives me a completely new perspective as to how I can utilise my sleepwear… 😀
You look like a nouveau geisha girl here! There’s something very kimono-like about the night shirt.
Sweet, and very 1920s-looking.
Best.Ever.
Susie. The styling is impeccable. You are amazing. And I am kind of awestruck.
I’ve been browsing through your blog for some time now, but this outfit just haunted me so I knew I had to tell you how much this inspires me. Susie you’re an inspiration! Keep up the great work.=)
Love lots,
