Does this mean I have to wear pants again, or is there a grace period where PJ’S will remain okay?
I get the feeling that’s what they meant by, “Don’t act like you’re still on Zoom.” I’ve got to find the nice clothing I used to wear when going out, instead of the pandemic-friendly wear that could be tossed into the nearest incinerator if necessary.
The Dear Wife and I are sporting over-alls, it’s the one stop shop for being clothed, stylish, and the extra pockets are great for snack storage. Follow me for other fashion tips!
So I can be my normal awkward self and people will attribute it to being cooped up for the year?
Thankfully - in the northern hemisphere, at least - we’re heading into summer… which means you can ease yourself through the PJs->pants transition with a few months of swimwear or shorts!
Went to my first in-person social outing since February 2020 just last Sunday. Don’t sweat it, folks. It’s like falling off a bike. Or riding a log.
–Hope it still fits… There was a lot of closet shrinkage during isolation.
Funerals are a great way to ease back into social contact.
- Ritualized greetings.
- Awkward small talk and long silences are accepted.
- No need to bring beer or a side dish.
- Much hug and heartfelt handshake practice.
- No one will think it is strange if you suddenly burst into tears.
So, painful and likely to result in open sores…?
Sounds about like how I remember it.
Pjs as partywear was a thing with the college students around here well before the pandemic hit. I did a double take the first time I saw a young man wandering around Newbury Street in his Pjs.
I fluv those two gentleman (Colbert and Batiste).
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: PJ’s are new dog-walking evening wear, and I ain’t going back.
