Super Bowl Sunday? More like Skyrim Sunday.

I didn't watch the Superbowl.

I didn't even put on any sort of outfit.

It's a Sunday and sometimes comfortable clothes to lounge in are my favorite.  And I am willing to bet that I am not the only person who looks longingly at a nice pair of pj pants or night gown.  I mean, why else would Lane Bryant charge almost $60 for a pajama set... someone is obviously buying them!  I decided today was a "play Skyrim all day and don't bother getting dressed" kind of Sunday.  It worked well for me but it did make me realize that I really lack good clothes to just lay around the house in.  I have a pair of pj pants and an flannel night gown but that's about it.

I actually just received a SimplyBe magazine in the mail yesterday and the cutest things in the darn thing were the lounge wear.  I have actually been dying to have a onesie and Simplybe has some pretty cute ones.

SimplyBe Onesie,  $39.95

These ones are on the cheaper side, most of the others closer to $50-60, which is the perfect example of why I hate most plus size shops.  As fat women, we have very few options for shopping and most of the shops that we do have, charge out the ass for basic clothes.  $60 for something I am going to sleep in and will likely not be seen by anyone outside of my own home, is pretty ridiculous.  But, because of our lack of options, people still buy these things and these shops continue to price things very high.  

Okay, okay.  I swear this post wasn't an excuse to rant about the prices of plus size clothing.  

Really, I just wanted to stress the importance of a good pair of pajamas.  I mean, sometimes there are days or several days where you just don't want to leave the house.  And for some (like those with mental health issues), even getting out of bed is hard and why not have something nice to add to your comfort as you are binge watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer or The X-Files or whatever it is that takes your mind off of the real world for awhile?
