Sleeping in Style (with Monkeys)

January 4, 2013February 12, 201419 Comments

So, this years Christmas gifts were….wait for it……sleepwear for everybody! YIPPEE!!

Father and Son Coordinating PJs

Pajama bottoms, a matching camisole and nightgowns.

Run Little Mister Monkeypants Run!!

Green Nightgown with Coordinating Fabric (and monkey fabric yo-yo on the front)

I did not make the jersey t-shirts (I’m still working on inserting sleeves as well as learning to sew with knits), so I bought T-shirts and just embellished them with monkey appliques and matching fabric appliqued on.

Little Mister Monkeypants

The green Jammies set were all based off of the Monkey fabric, so they all coordinated with camouflage patterns, shades of green and monkeys.

Pajamas and Nightgown in Coordinating Fabric

I also added coordinating fabric to the hems and waistbands of some of the pajama bottoms as well as to the chest pieces and straps of the nightgowns. And note the blue monkey slippers that match with the blue linen nightgown.

Wearable Wednesday…..Gucci

I’m reblogging this, not only because it’s Gucci (duh), but because of the quote I added at the end. 🙂

Pretty Grievances

Am I allowed to critique Gucci? Do we dare? Ding, ding! Grr, grr! Yes, I like these, yes, I do. This belt is a little Department store Santa for me, but, ok…Oh, flipper skirt! If it’s cold enough for a blanket….Oh, I like this pleaty action-Favorite! Even if it doesn’t have leopard gloves….I love this lace neckline-I’m sold- how about you?
