Pajama Day!

No, we don't have a day where we can wear jammies to work (but that would be awesome). It is a day when we want to talk about spring pajamas.

You may be the type of person that puts on an old ratty t-shirt for bed, or maybe you go all out every night with a full matching pajama set. Either way, we are of the opinion that you should have at least some "can be worn in 'public'" pajamas for things like work trips, family get-togethers, bachelorette parties, and the like. By this point you probably know the drill: we're going to recommend some spring pajama options that we like.  Rather than our standard "here are some options at a variety of price points", we're going to group our recommendations by pajama type.

Traditional Pajamas:
Think old school pajamas here. Long button up top with matching pants or something like that. Here are some spring options that we're loving.
  • You can't get more classic than these Lauren Ralph Lauren cotton pique pajamas, especially for $30
  • We LOVE Cosabella and these cotton jersey pajamas seem super luxe (and are available in a variety of colors!) 
  • People rave about Eberjey and while we think $115 is a little pricey for sleepwear, these pajamas do look super comfortable. 
  • We love a good animal print and these leopard pajamas are no exception. 
Shorts Pajamas: 
Recently, we've been super into the traditional pajama look but with shorts. With that being said, there's like a 90% chance we end up purchasing one of these sets:
  • These lemon printed pajamas just scream spring. 
  • We love Splendid t-shirts and have been curious about their pajama offerings so we'll probably end up purchasing this pair. 
  • Kate Spade never fails to impress us. These lattice print pajamas are no exception. 
  • While we'd be hesitant to call these "public" pajamas, we love a good cami tap set, especially this one from Lauren Ralph Lauren. 
Lounge-y Pajamas: 
  • So Katie 2 really loved Lucy for lounge wear. But with their recent merger into The North Face, she isn't feeling all that positive. So she is going to have to start leaning on Lululemon for lounge wear. She's going to start here and see how it goes. Added bonus? It makes her feel like she's going to Step Up 2: The Streets. 
  • This adorable matching top and pants will make you feel just a little less slouchy but no less comfortable.
  • We are very much against leaving the house in your pajamas unless you're taking the dog for a walk at which point, we are all for it. But these lounge pants (coming in at only $14.90 people!) in any color but grey could totally fool us into thinking you're wearing real pants. Change out the shirt to something a little more presentable and you're ready for a public appearance.

Workout Wednesday: The Push-up

We wanted to take today to discuss the benefits of one of the most useful (and hated) of all exercises: the push-up.  First off, why should you even care? It's a great exercise to do any time, any where. No equipment needed. It targets multiple muscle groups. Get a lot of bang for your workout buck. This is really 2b: It's good for your core. A strong core improves your posture and can help prevent lower back pain (something you will struggle with if you sit a lot during the day and as you're getting older).  Calorie-torching! (Let's call this one "2c".) Because you're using so many muscle groups, you burn more calories with a push-up than you will for other strength exercises that involve only one muscle. (Want to burn even more calories? Do a burpee- a push-up and a squat jump. They're awful. Katie 1 says that Katie 2, the primary author of this post, is evil for even mentioning burpees.) They can be done no matter your fitness level. Yo...

Interviewing Basics: The Portfolio

We are back with yet another blog series!! (We know, we know. Just stick with us.) Katie 2 is out in the market for a new job. Sad as she is to leave Katie 1, Elizabeth, and her current role, marriage awaits in a different state so she's out and about scouring the internet and her network for the perfect job. Which led us to think about interviews, and all the parts that go with it.  Yes, we are all professional adults who've had more than one "real" job, so we know how to interview, how to ask questions, etc. But interviewing can be stressful for anyone, no matter how accomplished you are. So we wanted to start this new series on interviewing basics to cover some items not just for those that are new to the workforce, but to think about some things that even experienced professionals should think about. Up first? The Portfolio. (In case you couldn't already tell that from the title of this post.) Back when she graduated from law school, Katie 2 receive...

Super Popular Trends We Hate

Perhaps it's a byproduct of getting older but recently we're starting to realize that there are a ton of super popular trends that we really effing hate. We've decided to share this list with our dear readers in hopes that both of you will commiserate.  A Real Working Girl's List of Super Popular Trends That Suck Ombre Hair. It’s so hard to get right and maintain and just ends up looking sloppy and unprofessional. If you talk to a stylist, she (or he) will likely explain that ombre came from people who were growing out their color. To make truly good ombre, it’s just roots. Also, isn’t this over now? Crop tops. Just no. Unless you are a stick this is not a good look for you.  Midi-skirts. See above. Katie 2 would like to add that unless you’re over 5’8”, it’s floor length.  Mom jeans. See #2. If you’re normal sized, you ass looks like crap.  Top knots. Sorry… it just looks sloppy. Take a minute and do your damn hair.  Sex hair. See above. It looks s...
