Friday Frocks: Chemise-try 101

By admin|August 8th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I remember slumber parties. I don’t remember pillow fights in my panties though. I think that cliché is some sort of sleazy scenario concocted by pervy males, when in reality, most slumber parties I attended involved Cosmo quizzes, Dr. Pepper, and pizza. I guess nearly nude party games do sound a bit saucier. At our age, most of the sleepovers we now attend are a bit more exclusive- like party of two and maybe a lucky dog at the foot of the bed. While we probably should keep playing games of truth or dare until we die, we don’t necessarily need to continue donning oversized t-shirts and Soffe shorts of platonic slumber parties of years past. One way to ensure the fire doesn’t dwindle after hours is to dress for bed like you’re dressing for your first date. Not literally, of course, because you wouldn’t necessarily wear something see through to dinner at Le Cirque and a bodycon dress for bed might be too binding- but maybe you’re into that. Swap your boxers for something silky, skip the pillow fights, and get right to the pillow talk.

Why Did You Wear That: Nightie Night

By Kirsten|November 27th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

Along with spritzing myself with a bit of perfume before bed, I also enjoy a good nightie. No, I don’t mean a nightcap, although I do enjoy those too. I am talking about a good ol’ fashion nightgown. Maybe not the style that the Golden Girls don- but now that you mention it, I love those too- I’m just talking about a simple chemise in satin, silk, chiffon, or the softest cotton. Yes, it’s true. I’m a lady.

Sure, in the 90’s we all did the whole “boxer shorts” or Soffe cheer shorts thing, but I never could get down with the women who ended up wearing giant flannels or nasty t-shirts and ratty old boxers. Girlfriend, take a little pride in your night attire. If your man wanted to go to bed with his pal, Larry, he would… and in that case, Larry would know better than to wear that stained USC shirt to bed with his boo. I get the irony: this is all very hilarious coming from a lady who sleeps alone, but I stand firm.

Over the years I’ve amassed quite the collection of nighties and knickers. So many that the ones that did not fit inside my closet (yes, there are more) are hanging “decoratively” on my closet door handles. I know what you’re thinking… “How is this girl single?!” No? That wasn’t what you were thinking. Hm… Anyway, it’s true, I don’t get invited to too many sleepovers anymore. No more pillow fights or Truth or Dare for me, but I always am sure to be wearing my boudoir best ’cause you never know who you might meet in your dreams.
