But if you're like me, and you love a good excuse to don a costume, regular old PJ's just aren't going to cut it. I went to Macy's and found a set of pajamas that were cute, girly and flirty without being overtly sexy (this wasn't the Playboy Mansion, after all), but so comfy that they're now part of my regular sleepwear collection. They're bright pink, with black ribbon and lace accents and a cute stiletto heel print. Obviously I'm not the only one with the same idea, because there was another parent at the auction with the exact same outfit!
I was totally happy with the outfit I chose, but I also saw some other great pajama outfits at the party. For those of you who have a pajama party in your future (and if you don't, plan one!) and don't want to wear your boring old pajamas (or sleep in your birthday suit!), here are some unique pajama party costume ideas to help you stand out:
* Wrap a bedsheet under your arms and pin it securely (fold it so it's not too long and you can walk around with it!). What you wear -- or don't wear -- underneath the sheet is really up to you.......
* Wear one-piece footed pajamas.
* Wear a Snuggie; the more hideous the design, the better. For extra "awful" points, have your spouse wear the exact same Snuggie -- or have both of you wear the Snuggie-for-Two.
* Take a cue from Hugh Hefner and wear a smoking jacket.
* Take a cue from Annie's Miss Hannigan and wear a flamboyant dressing gown over a lace nightie. Wrap a feather boa around your neck, smear your eyeliner down your cheeks and carry around a flask of gin and a cigarette in a long holder.
* Wear your brightest, gaudiest, heart/smiley face/reindeer print boxers, calf-length black socks and grey tshirt.
* Must-have accessories include a sleep mask, hair curlers, teddy bear, stuffed sheep.
* Wear a sleepshirt and a nightcap, hold a candlestick, and go as Wee Willie Winkie or Ebeneezer Scrooge. That's more or less what Alfie would have worn to last night's party. We didn't find a sleepshirt, but I found a nightcap on Amazon and had it shipped all the way from England (shipping cost more than the cap!).

Does anyone have any other pajama party outfit ideas to add?
