It was 99-degrees yesterday. So staying cool at night is important, even when my psyche needs the comfort of cozy pajamas. Here are a few sets that are perfect for summer in different price points.

When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.
When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Before we start today’s reader questions, I wanted to take a moment to talk a bit about mental health. For those who experience mental health challenges — whether occasionally or frequently — talking about our struggles is a double-edged sword.

Sometimes, you just want to wear something pretty to the office. Something that makes you feel good. A dress that makes your whole day better. These are those dresses.
Do any ladies have suggestions for shorts pajama sets that don’t include collared shirts? I’m looking to upgrade my “whatever tank top and shorts are clean” routine, but I’m having trouble finding tank top and shorts sets that aren’t lace-covered lingerie. I love (love!) the style of this Lunya set, but can’t stomach the $178 price tag.

PJ Salvage always has a bunch of styles. I’d have a look at their Zappos page.
I wanted to love Lunya, and their material is amaizng, but have been incredibly disappointed with their sizing. They don’t let you mix and match sizes of the tops and bottoms of their silk pieces, and the fun colors don’t even come in their “plus” size. However, as a size 14 with hips, their XL shorts are too small and the tops are comically large. They also only offer two plus sizes and lump XL/L and XL2/LX3 together for some of their options, so it’s a big jump between sizes.
I went to check out their site again, and see they’re making a new tank set that is beautiful but only making it in XS through L. Seriously?
I bought from Lilysilk instead – they also don’t let you split sizes but they have a lot more options and I found something that worked for me (I think you can have them custom size as well but you pay for it). Similar price if not a bit more, but they’re about to have a huge sale coming up that I’m keeping an eye on. The set I got was a treat to myself for quarantine, and I live in them and do not regret the investment! I hand wash them and they come out great.
I also bought some from Recliner NYC. They have a shorts set with a t-shirt style top. They do let you mix and match sizes but they sleep a bit hot.
Soma has some great options
