The Girl is back at your service for outfit inspiration and styling tips, every two weeks featuring a different store. Spend enough time with The Girl, and you will move beyond focusing on *what* you wear to *why*. Scroll down to read this issue.

OCCASIONS

When you’re hanging out at the house during the holidays with different family members coming in and out, and are contemplating whether to go back to sleep at 11am. You need to be ready in case slumber strikes, but also your mom refuses to let you show your face to anyone in a tattered band t-shirt — and the path between the living room and bedroom leads right through the kitchen. Maybe even transitioning between your heated house and running out in the cold to grab the good ol’ fashion print newspaper (remember those?).

VIBE

Grown-up comfort — a paired pajama set that are coordinated in the wash cycle is easily the most adult move a person can make. Perfect balance between put-together and chill, a.k.a. not being embarrassed if your arch-nemesis saw you in this, but also not needing to wear a bra because the straight silhouette doesn’t cling to body parts hanging ten.

DO’S / DON’TS

If anyone tries to tell you do’s and don’ts for pajamas, just excuse yourself and take a nap. Maybe the only “Do” is coordinating matching sets with your best friends or sisters, which makes for extremely cute photos. And optimize for snuggli-ness in any robe you buy.

STYLING

The robe is optional and all hairstyles look good when you are laying low at home. Washing your face and stepping out with a fresh look is always a winner. These pajamas are crazy comfortable and durable so your face will convey that all naturally.
