I tried wearing pajamas for a week, and it was really embarrassing
Another week, another embarrassment. This week I wore pajamas to school every day. Many people were nice and funny about the fact that I looked ridiculous. I was pretty comfortable physically yet uncomfortable mentally.
Monday
I woke up this morning and was completely rethinking this idea. Thoughts like, “I am not voluntarily wearing pajamas to school, am I?!” and “This is so embarrassing, what am I doing with my life?” To add to this, my father didn’t even ask about the fact that I was wearing art-themed pajamas, so I had a hope of not being noticed for the rest of the day. To my dismay, I got looks from way too many people in the hallway.
Tuesday
A big surprise came this morning, as my father asked me why I was wearing a pink, fluffy, bunny onsie to school! Annoyed that he didn’t notice I did this yesterday; I went to school extremely comfortable and slightly agitated. I was also still very, very embarrassed. Surprisingly, the looks have subsided and the appreciation for my new look has grown. Many people have said that it is funny and that they wish they could wear pajamas as well. They totally could!
Wednesday
Today I wore one of my many pairs of christmas pajamas. Being a late start today, I was hopeful that people would think it is more typical. People need to stop asking me why I am wearing Christmas pajamas in the middle of November, because frankly, I don’t have a good explanation.
Thursday
To celebrate the (almost) end of the week I wore a Superman onesie. Onesies are kind of a pain to wear because it is all in one piece. However, they are extremely comfortable. I have noticed that nobody cares anymore that I am wearing pajamas; fellow classmates have told me they thought this was just me being me.
Friday
Thank goodness it is the last day of this because I can NOT wait to wear normal clothing again. The people surrounding this experiment have expressed their desire for this these pajamas to continue. But enough is enough. My mentality has slumped, along with my wardrobe.
To conclude, kids didn’t really care that much about what I wore. I learned that dressing for success has a very profound affect on one’s mindset.
