Have you seen these?

You may never have to get dressed again! If you have a home-based job as I do, sometimes you spend an entire day at the computer working in your jammies. Not exactly stylish, but comfy. But, what if you need to actually leave your house to go to the store? What a concept. Well, check out the "PajamaJean" here. Look like jeans, but stretchy and soft.

I don't know about you, but these don't look too comfortable to wear to bed. A little tight perhaps? I prefer lightweight cotton that breathes. Is that TMI? (too much information). And, I think it's still nice to change your clothes, don't you?

Would you wear pajama jeans???
