Plaid Pajamas in Class. Very Uncool.

I'm not typically one to judge another person's appearance or attire choice, but I couldn't help myself when a girl showed up to class today ... wearing pajamas. Gasp.

At first I thought I was being too harsh on the poor girl. In her defense, Baylor campus was all but completely flooded this morning and it was pretty chilly outside. Maybe I could see her logic. But not really.

I asked Matney what she thought of said girl's fashion statement, and evidently I'm not alone in my belief that pajamas are meant for lounging/sleeping/napping, but they are not meant to wear to class.

Let me explain my reasoning:

1. First of all, Paige Pajama was wearing full makeup, so it wasn't a case of I-woke-up-late-and-I-literally-had-to-roll-out-of-bed-so-as-not-to-be-late-to-class. And the makeup looked fresh and smudgeless too, so it wasn't last night's makeup either.

2. Wearing pajamas to class is kind of like wearing your sweaty workout clothes or your lingerie to class. It's kind of intimate. Your professor and classmates do not want to see what you slept in last night anymore than we want to see your pit sweat from doing too many bicep curls. It's just a little too much informatiion for the classroom environment. Not to mention, it's a private university, so keep your private bedroom attire in the bedroom.

3. When I asked Matney what she thought of Paige Pajama's pajamas, Matney admitted that she wore sweatpants to class that day. Sweatpants are not pajamas in any style, pattern, or shape. The pajamas that I saw this morning were blue plaid flannel drawstring creatures and they were NOT to be confused with sweatpants.

I wear Nike shorts nearly every day to class, so I respect the need for comfort, but I don't disrespect my peers so much as to wear plaid flannel drawstring pj's to class. Uncool.
