OMG WTF I'm In My Pajamas - New York Fashion Week Outfit Deets [Filler]

 

I got to wear PJ's to NYFW... Of course I'm smiling about it!

 Friday - AKA the day I wore Pajamas to five shows because my head hurt so much (and nobody was the wiser!)

Now I have to say I'm quite a big fan of what Susie of Style Bubble calls Dress Pajamas I. E. Pajamas you wear outside on evening occasions (not just evening occasions in bed). Now before I go forward, I do not unfortunately possess any form of dress pajamas. I do however own some very comfy clothes that more times then not I end up passing out asleep in or lounging around my apartment, gradually congealing into some odd mix of Strawberry (The British) and Blueberry (The American) jam. When I woke up on Saturday morning (very proud it was before noon!) I felt like I had a hangover (which is virtually impossible due to my lack of drinking) after spending the previous evening getting very messy in a skirt at The Tribeca Grand. Yet I could not afford to stay in bed! No! I had shows to go to. In fact this was probably my fullest day.

On the cards today:

1. PetrouMan
2. Azzoulo
3. Suno/Pamela Love/Erin Fetherston (?)

So in the spirit of being comfy and taking my home (aka warm cozy bed) with me on my FW11 adventures, I knew the drill. Lanvin pajama pants. Yes there is such a thing, and yes I do somehow own a pair. No they are not dress pajamas they are literally very soft dusty purple trousers with a ribbon detailing in front and alas due to the fact they are women's can only be worn with either a very long shirt/sweater or under a skirt. Now when it comes to occasions where I have to feel good about what I'm wearing, no matter how secretly comfortable they are, I look to one of my idols: Rei Kawakubo.  I don't really think of specific pieces of her collections at Comme des Garcons more or less it is the feeling that the line provokes that inspires the way I dress. The details that make this look particularly Comme:

• Collar tucked in on one side to create an illusion that I only have half a collar
• Cardigan with a pin that goes through all the button holes and attached to a asymetrical sweater underneath
• The double layered skirt that looks like one skirt that's been mashed together
• On top of this strange masshup is a very classic, well fitting vintage Pea-coat creating a weird juxtaposition.

Sure I may not be wearing any Comme in this outfit but at least I feel I was influenced by some of Rei's thought processes.

So there we go! Another outfit post I have somehow yet again semi-intellectualized. Don't worry there's only one more left before I can go back and start posting non-narcissistic things. I've almost finished digesting some of the exhibits I saw in London so they'll be up hopefully after these, but hey I'm my own boss and I'll post when I feel I'm good and ready to.
