Details about these PJ set

First of all, this printed silk pajama set is $89 (I’m wearing a size S – today is 40% off FYI). And I know what you are thinking, but you are basically getting a cute fashion pajama set, shorts and a t-shirt, which makes these pyjamas perfect for traveling! Actually, I’m bringing them on my trip around the world (whenever that happens), so I’ll be saving these looks for myself as well LOL.

If you do not want to pay for new PJs that’s fine too! My intention with this post is to inspire you to maximize what you already have in your closet and I hope it helps you create some cute pajama outfits with things you already own. So if you already have a cute silk PJ set, you can totally recreate these looks with them, using the top and bottom.

There were so many cool pajama trends last year, that I ended up buying a couple, but this year there are also so many cute pyjamas that I’ve already bought 2 more and then, I realized I had a problem… I have way too many PJs! That’s why I wanted to find a way to create some pyjama day outfits in order to maximize and justify my senseless obsession with looking cute for bedtime.

Ok, I always tend to talk way too much and never cut to the chase, so without further ado, here are the 7 looks styling pajamas as daywear. Including a bonus look styling the PJ top as well at the end of the post.

Pajamas as daywear – 7 looks

Look 1 – Brunch outfit idea

It was very easy to put all these outfits together believe it or not. Here’s my thought process on how to style pajama pants: I basically took out all the tops that have the same colors present in the shorts and a few pair of shoes. That’s it! This is a great way to start (also take out some neutrals no matter the print). What I want for you is to create your own version of these looks with things you already own, so it’s time to get creative! Don’t be afraid to play with blazers and layers too! I shared more tips on how to maximize what you have in your closet in this post.

This look is super simple, I paired the cute PJ shorts with a lavender top, flat sandals and accessorized with these tassel earrings. All of the upcoming looks are perfect street style looks if you ask me!

*Sorry the exact top and sandals are old and not available any more, but I’ve included options I think would look good too!

Look 2 – The perfect Spring outfit

I wanted to do something different with this look and while I was looking for options I stumbled upon this lightweight trench (it’s very old, so I couldn’t find the exact one. Sorry!). I layered it with a white cami, which is a must in every girl’s closet, and espadrille wedges. What do you think of this one? It’s such a comfy, yet stylish look! Honestly, who knew you could style sleepwear like this? I would have never done this a few years ago!

Look 3 – Basic with white t-shirt and sneakers

For this look, I wanted to do something very casual and easy to recreate. And what a better way to do it than with a white t-shirt and white sneakers? You can’t go wrong! If you ask me, you can put anything in between a white t-shirt & sneakers and be good to go (jeans, shorts, skirts, printed pants, etc). I do this at least once a week. Especially when I don’t know what to wear.

When you do something this basic, try to include accessories to look more dressed up (if that’s what you are going after). That’s why I added the headband, but you can use whatever you have (earrings, hat, necklace, bag, etc). If you have no clue on how to style pajama pants or any particular bottom piece (pants, skirts, shorts), start with pairing it with a t-shirt and sneakers. I promise it works every single time! This is the easiest way to create pajama day outfits. Give it a try!

so easy to style pj shorts with a white t-shirt and sneakers.
 

Look 4 – Another look to go out for dinner

I created this look at the very last minute and it’s my favorite one I think! (It’s hard to choose)

Once you take out all the top options that might go well with any cute PJ shorts or pants you have, you’ll be surprised with all the different ways you can style them. I found this top in the back of my closet and thought the color looked perfect with the printed shorts (it’s light blue but you can’t really see it in the pic). Added strappy sandals and tassel earrings and that’s it! I can’t wait to sit outside somewhere on a date night with this look :)

Look 5 – Styling pajamas as daywear with a chambray shirt

It’s not one of my outfit blog posts if it doesn’t involve a chambray shirt or a white T-shirt LOL. If you’ve been following for a while you know that to be true!

Here’s the thing with chambray shirts, you can layer them, wear them as a button-up or tie them in front. That’s why I have it on my list of 15 pieces you need if you want to build a capsule wardrobe! For this look, I could have gone either way, but I decided to layer it with a white cami because it was just so comfy :)

How else can I prove you that you can style pajamas as daywear? It's so easy! Styling pajamas as daywear with a chambray shirt
 

Look 6 – With a sweater to honor my Chicago gals ;)

I used to live in Chicago and I know a lot of you who read my blog are still there, so I wanted to include at least one look with a sweater… Even though I’m perfectly aware it is not realistic this time of the year and I’m very sorry for that. But here you have it for when you can finally dress like this. Style your PJ shorts with a sweater, cute earrings and espadrille wedges for Spring (or Summer!).

Bonus look – Pajamas as daywear with the PJ shirt!

Did you think I was going to forget about the shirt? The pajama shirt trend was real last year and honestly, I think it will always keep coming back, because if you think about it, it’s like a really soft button-up shirt. You can wear your PJ shirts with jeans and flats, shorts, sneakers, heels, tie a front knot, layer it with a sweater, wear it open with a white cami underneath… the sky is the limit! Well, not really, but you do have a lot of options too.

Here’s an example on how you can style a PJ shirt in a very casual way:

This is a classic Aimara look! Everyone who has known me for a while knows this is something I would have worn 10 years ago, and it’s something I still wear today as you can see. I’m not a huge fan of trends, my style has always been very classic and timeless. I find it a lot easier to shop and keep things in my closet longer this way ;)

Please keep in mind that these looks are for inspiration and you do not have to recreate them exactly like this. Mix and match and have fun with it! Make your own outfits and be YOU! Now you can say you are literally wearing pyjamas all day and don’t feel bad about it LOL. So tell me, are you going to style your pajamas as daywear?

This felt good! (very small update)

WOW it felt good to write this blog post… It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these style ones. I’ve been so focused on other personal projects for the past few months that I totally neglected this blog, but it feels good to be back (sort of back). I can’t wait to share what’s next though. I hope I have good news to share in the next couple of months.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. I’m always here to answer any questions you may have.

Hope you have an amazing day ahead!! :)

XO,

Aimara

What a crazy feeling when you start loving somethi What a crazy feeling when you start loving something you once thought was scary. It really makes you realize that fear is not real and exists only in your mind.

Never stop pursuing what sets your heart on fire. Even if it’s scary. And if you don’t know what that is yet, I encourage you to make the time to find out 💙

PS: this photo was taken on a scuba dive trip while in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. If you ever find yourself there, do yourself a favor and do it with @scubatonycozumel 🤿 You will not regret it!

Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different places and I needed different outfits but I didn’t have space to bring a whole new look. That’s when button down shirts + sneakers come handy! 

In the morning we went to the beach to snorkel and in the afternoon we explored Mayan ruins and had drinks and dinner. I needed sun protection and sneakers because they don’t recommend to walk the ruins in sandals (uneven terrain). I was able to change the wet bathing suit at the beach restaurant and didn’! get sunburn! Win win!!

PS: you can now shop all my looks via the @shop.ltk app ☺️ or via stories!

Back home after spending the best 3 months of my l Back home after spending the best 3 months of my life in Turkey 🇹🇷❤️

We definitely left a piece of our hearts there, but we also learned so much and we know we will be back many times! And it feels good to be with family this time of the year.

I know I didn’t do a good job at posting in here. Honestly, I thought it was going to be easier, but starting a new Instagram, blog and YouTube channel from scratch for @waysoftheworld_ took a lot more time than I ever thought it would! So now, I’ll try to share some of my favorite photos from this trip in here because it’s never too late 🙃

This one was taken in a small mediterranean town called Kas. It was one of our favorite places in all of Turkey! It’s the perfect vacation spot to just enjoy life 💕

Feels good to be back! Hope everyone has a great week ahead and thanks so much for being here!!

Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by h Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by how beautiful it is, all the different landscapes, the food, and above everything, the people ❤️

Looking back to a few weeks ago when I was really afraid of going on this trip, thinking about all the things that could go wrong, being a little upset with myself in a way for not wanting the traditional life path I always thought was my only choice; get married, buy a house, have kids, save money and travel when you retire. That’s not for me. 

I’m very happy I followed my heart 💕 I wrote a letter to myself on the blog: “What’s the best that can happen if the worst happens?” You can check it out by clicking the link in my bio. I hope it inspires you to think about what YOU really want in your heart, make a plan and go after it (but be patient). I promise that if I did it, so can you.

You have everything it takes ❤️

I basically only wear olive green and white now 😂 

Our days in beautiful Kas are almost over. I’m leaving a piece of my heart in this cute little town and we will definitely be back! Now it’s time to hop on a 6 hour bus to Pamukkale and see what that place is all about! 

Honestly, the only reason we are going there is because of me. G is not too crazy about it, but I’ve seen it on Instagram so much that I wanted to see for myself what the buzz was all about. So I’ll keep you posted on what it actually is!

If you are interested in knowing more about Kas (and all the amazing places we are visiting) we share a lot more on @waysoftheworld_ 💞 
We talk about useful tips, costs, best things we do, where we stay and so much more. I also update those stories daily! So I hope to see you there 🙃

Until next time friends 👋🏻

I was brave 💙 This was the most amazing experi I was brave 💙

This was the most amazing experience. I was SO nervous and anxious before but somehow I managed to push through and tried this very scary thing for the first time. And you know what I learned? That I loved it! I would do it again a million times! It wasn’t scary at all. It was all in my head and it wasn’t real. Also, they had the sweetest dog at the shop named Lucy that really help me not to think about it (swipe to see her 😍)

We didn’t do any crazy tricks like G did and it was a very peaceful flight. It’s up to you how you want to do it.

I can see why Ölüdeniz is one of the top places in the world to go paragliding. If you only want to do it once to cross it off your bucket list, this is the place you go to. We shared a post about with useful information in case you are interested. Link in bio + stories.

Would you do it? 🙃
