"Are you wearing pajamas or are those your normal clothes?"

So this question came from the mouth of one of my favorite 1st graders.  What could I possibly be wearing to warrant such confusion?  Well ...see for yourself:





Dress and Belt - Forever 21 (Available in-stores only)
Shoes - Nine West
Bag and Tights - Target
Watch - Michael Kors (Purchase HERE)

The worst part?  He wasn't the only student who asked if I was wearing my pajamas!  Considering that a large number of my kid's parents are wearing their ACTUAL pajamas when they drop them off at school, I am not too sure how to respond to these questions except to just laugh :-)

So honestly - do I need to put this dress in the back corner of my closet?!

OMG, kids are so funny. How could they think this was PJ"s you're wearing such a cute leather belt. hehe. You look great and I love your school style.

PS I've been hearing all about the kids wearing pjs to school these days. SO random. haha

Keep the dress around. I was a teacher for two years. Kids say the craziest things.

Oh, How Happy We Are said...

Funny! I like the dress. It's cute. I would wear it. I teach 1st grade and no matter what I show up in I get complements. First graders are very very easy to impress. Maybe you need a grade level change. Just kidding. Really, though, I like the dress. I am pinning it.

suz said...

I love your style but the dress is a little Little House on the Prairie-ish/pjs

Fashion Pad said...

LOL! No you do not....kids associate patterns with pajamas all the times. They are sooo hilarious! Cute look!

Not sure how this looks like pjs....I think it's super cute!

TheTinyHeart said...

Haha kids really say the funniest things sometimes! I think there's zero resemblance to pjs...maybe they're confusing it with a floral nightgown?! I think the dress is adorable!

I love, love, love this dress! When I was teaching one of my students ask if my necklace charm was a brain... so you never know what they are going to ask!

Marionberry Style said...

@ Suz - Ha! Yes...it IS a little House-on-the-Prairie-ish! That is exactly what it is... Love it.

@ everyone - THANK YOU for leaving comments. I am glad (relieved?) that most of you like the dress okay. We all have fashion hits + misses...and I sometimes need a little perspective from all of you!

ChiChi said...

All I have to say is...if these kids think these are pajamas....their mom's must certainly get dressed up to go to bed! It's adorable!

No way the dress is adorable and looks great on you. Kids do say the strangest things.

Samantha said...

I remember reading about the PJs thing from your earlier post. NO WAY does this dress look anything close to PJs! {When I first read the story, I was thinking that you may have been wearing a maxi dress!} Anyways, it's a cute dress and love the cognac accents!

xo, sam

Jill @ ACharmedLife said...

If those are PJs, they are the trendiest/cutest PJ's I've ever seen ;)

I LOVE that dress! And kid stories are the best!

Le-Ann said...

While I don't think it looks like pajamas, it's not my favorite outfit of yours. Sorry.

Marion said...

@ Le-Ann - don't apologize! I honesty want everyone's opinion! :-) Thanks for leaving a comment :-)

For the ability to reply you need to install the templates made by blogger (the basic ones) so it means you can't have it with the premade templates that's why I changed mine hope it helped :)

ellis_dn said...

OMG! That is too funny! : ) No, you don't look like you have PJs on. It is a fantastic dress and you've accessorized just right!

Amber said...

Ha! That is too funny! I think this dress is super cute - and I'm sure their parents' pajamas aren't this fabulous. Kids are funny!

Anonymous said...

I can see how a child would confuse your dress for sleep/lounge wear. It resembles what my grandmother calls a housecoat or muumuu. Maybe add a cute blazer to the outfit next time.

Linda said...

Haha, well, I've certainly never seen pajamas like this before!
Personally, I like the dress. Cute floral print on it :)

Rolled Up Pretty said...

Oh my gosh, that is seriously SO SO SO funny! I LOVE that dress, I think your little kiddos don't really know what pajamas look like. Ha ha, one time I wore leggings and a dress to work and this 50 years old guy came in and asked if I was in my lingerie in front of all my coworkers! Embarrassing HUH!??? Oh my, SO funny! Thanks for your sweet sweet comment on our baby news the other day, you are so sweet! Love your blog and can't wait to keep reading, new follower :)

Hehe so cute! No i dont think you should put this dress away. You look lovely in it and I'm sure its very comfy too.

cassidy said...

This dress is adorable!!

Anna G said...

I love the floral print and it looks nothing like PJ's. I think of oversize tshirts and sweats resemble PJ's more than a dress.
