It is an unusual theme.</p> <p>I love costume parties - but I won’t buy much for a costume unless it is second hand. Love the idea of a few curlers and maybe slides ( tape on some fake fur to make them look like slippers). Your shorts and top of fancy. Definitely lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050905 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 06:28:28 +0000 Jane 2050905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irritating!

At the end of the day no one will care that you did not wear pajamas or whatever . I say figure out the best combination of clever + flattering/ comfortable ( meaning in your zone)— something you feel great in, authentic ( authentic can still have fun, clever aspects). You may find others that did the same , or wish they had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050863 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 01:36:54 +0000 Jaime 2050863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely interpret the theme very loosely and have fun with it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050852 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 00:44:50 +0000 Gretchen 2050852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh... especially when you are seeing people you haven't seen in a while. Can you go with a simple dress and just do hair/makeup/accessories on theme? I'm thinking a kimono top over the dress, or a short bathrobe, stockings &amp; heels, great ponytail, lashes, bold lipstick and sleeping mask.&nbsp;</p> <p>That way, if you aren't feeling the theme, you can revert to a normal party look easily.</p> <p>And your stock answer can be: only <i>very special</i> people get to see my pj's.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050848 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 00:20:11 +0000 Jules 2050848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frenchie in her curlers and negligee at the sleepover. Seriously though, maybe an outfit you like with one clever or punny nod to the theme would do? Wish I was good at coming up with those </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050847 Tue, 06 Aug 2019 00:18:21 +0000 rebekahphoto 2050847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you with the theme birthdays! we just attended a 30th party on a boat a couple of weeks ago...Theme was "EXTRA!"--ie: wigs, glitter, glam, drag, you name it. Since it was a boat I based it all on a swim suit (since I was going in!) We loosely did a "jungle" theme so I wore lots of leopard!</p> <p>For "Rockabilly PJ" I immediately thought a sexy cute cherry print PJs (or leopard or gingham--)&nbsp; + some glam 50s makeup &amp; hair. Im sure you would make it amazing--either real pj top or similar.....maybe more on the camp vibe</p> <p>I kinda love this Dolce top! &amp; there are matching sets sorry cant do a real find from MyTheresa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050837 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 23:38:14 +0000 annagybe 2050837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There will be some people there that I haven’t seen in a while. And I would like to see them<br /> I don’t think I’ll be ostracized if I don’t do the theme exactly. Dad’s staying with me. I can probably come up with some excuse regarding outfit. He thought the shorts I was wearing the other day were pajamas, as in you’re not going to change ( hahaha)<br /> ETA maybe I’ll do Rockabilly &amp; make some crack about forgetting my overnight bag, or Marylin Monroe’s infamous quote involving Chanel<br /> No. 5 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050830 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 22:27:05 +0000 Barbara Diane 2050830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t wear anything outside the house that I wouldn’t be okay with a photo of. Not necessarily proud of (I can be a bit lazy) but ok with.<br /> Is there a version of this you can be okay with? Soft denim colored pj bottoms, maybe cropped length, similar or contrasting top, and an accessory to make it rockabilly? Or big hair or big hoops, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050828 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 22:19:18 +0000 rachylou 2050828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Angie! :)</p> <p>I rather like Janet’s idea there. </p> <p>Or wear real clothes, a robe, red lipstick and a bandana - red lipstick and a bandana, they make everything rockabilly, right? Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050827 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 22:18:47 +0000 Barbara Diane 2050827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know that you owe it to anyone to wear pajamas outside the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050826 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 22:17:16 +0000 Barbara Diane 2050826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, my thought exactly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050818 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:54:46 +0000 Angie 2050818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you really have to go?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050809 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:25:47 +0000 Ginger 2050809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's bizarre! I have some friends who have talked about doing a pajama/loungewear party... but that's friends who collect and wear vintage clothing as a hobby. We've all got some pretty great hostess gowns, negligees, smoking jackets, satin slippers, etc. that ordinarily never get seen out of our homes. But this?! I have no idea! I happen to have a very I-Love-Lucy quilted house coat that would fit the theme literally, but I have an idea that's not what the host of this one has in mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050806 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:20:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2050806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a weird combo. I bet Isabel’s right about why they’re doing this. </p> <p>I agree with the general flow here—wear jeans, rolled up a bit and some kind of pj top, with a bandana in your hair. Footwear could go either way—your rockenist shoes or some kind of house slippers. </p> <p>Or you could ask the host what they mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050802 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 21:03:09 +0000 Cardiff girl 2050802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why do people want to go to a party in pyjamas?Is it to save time when you get home afterwards and can just fall straight into bed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050799 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:49:09 +0000 annagybe 2050799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I’m extra annoyed because I also traded call so I could attend<br /> I should clarify the updated descriptor said pajamas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050798 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:36:39 +0000 Preppy Pear 2050798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is very specific! I might try to do one or the other mainly and incorporate an element of the other half - maybe a rockabilly dress with a sleep mask worn on your forehead, or pjs with a rockabilly scarf in your hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050797 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:34:21 +0000 Janet 2050797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is up with all the pajama theme parties lately? I’m with you — that would not excite me at all. </p> <p>I would be tempted to do the hair and makeup in a 50s rockabilly style, and find a short-sleeved button front pajama top, roll up the sleeves, tie the waist, and wear a pair of rolled up jeans. Sort of James Dean meets Dita Von Teese. I dunno. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050796 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:30:20 +0000 Anonymous 2050796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rockabilly pajama?! Wth?!</p> <p>I say do the rockabilly bit and skip the pajama bit!<br /> Quick Google search-bad A Sandy would do, dots, gingham, fit and flare dresses, rompers maybe, hair scarves (usually red), red lipstick, pompadour hair, ponytail, black leather. Black, white and red in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050793 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:25:44 +0000 Anonymous 2050793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The host/hostess must have some special outfit ready that they want to wear? Something a little too over the top but also fabulous?</p> <p>"Pyjama" is pretty vague, really. Maybe you could "pyjama" just the top of your outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh-theme-birthday-party#post-2050792 Mon, 05 Aug 2019 20:19:10 +0000 Muffin 2050792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t even understand Rockabilly Pajama! Lyle Lovett in pajamas? I cannot unsee.<br /> I’m sorry. I really dislike costume theme parties for anything besides Halloween. I am an adult, trust me to dress like one. </p>
