Ever stayed in your pajamas all day long? It's perfectly fine until you get a delivery at your door. Or a neighbor drops by. Then all of a sudden you feel guilty, right? You feel like a "slob", a "slouch", or a "slacker", right? Well, I'm about to help you banish those feelings and learn to embrace your PJs even in the face of disapproving faces with three reasons why staying in your pajamas all day is a GOOD thing:

1. Comfort. Pajamas are comfy. That's why we sleep in them. But there's no law that says that once you leave your bed, you have to leave the comfort of your PJs. In fact, whether you're doing housework, answering emails, working on a craft project or just puttering around, you'll be more efficient if you're comfortable.
2. Environmentally Friendly. The fewer clothes you wear, the fewer you have to wash or dry clean. That means you use less water, less electricity and less soap. Besides saving money at home, you'll also save at the dry cleaners. A fine reason to leave your street clothes in the closet until you're ready to go out.
3. Style. Some of my cutest outfits are pajamas. I have soft floral flannels and lively plaids. Leopard prints and leprechauns. I even have a set of camo footie pajamas. I think I have about a dozen pet-themed sets. And I'm not the only one who thinks they're stylish. Designers are even making pajama-inspired street clothes (and charging a small fortune for them).

Now you don't have to feel guilty when the doorbell rings and you're still in your jammies. And if that neighbor or delivery person gives you a sideways look, tell them to talk to me. I'll set them straight.
