I don't know if you know me well enough, but if you do, you know I am a big fan, a huge proponent of the adult onesie. I have a few - and I just bought another one online. They're some of the most comfortable things ever, and most of them are under $20. I mean, sure, you can buy more expensive ones, but I have a nice little collection including animal-themed onesies, and I think the most I've ever spent on one was $19 if I'm honest. I bought my mother one as well -- I'm really nice like that. I believe the world should relax and just chill out wearing onesies.
What I tend to do is to wear a T-shirt under them so that when I do have to strip out of it to go to the bathroom, the top half of my body won't freeze in the Arctic air. It's not quite that bad, here in Oklahoma, but it can be rather chilly at times. Those times, however, have not arrived - not as of yet. It is October 19, 2025, and we're still hovering in the lower 80s for the most part. I'm not happy about that fact. What I am happy about is that the forecast for the next 10 days does show promise. We won't enter the month of November in sweltering heat!
Tonight, while browsing Amazon as I often do, I decided to see if they have any of their onesies on sale - sort of a pre-season thing. They did!! I was pretty happy to see it. One of the problems with cheaper pajamas or any other attire is that they are often made of polyester - not my thing. I don't like polyester really, preferring the material of the old folks. I am a cotton fan from many years back. If it's 100% cotton, I feel as if I can justify paying a bit more - but I didn't have to do that; they were all $14-19, and yes, I bought one.
Because I'm expected to be on camera at least once or twice a day at work (I work from home, but we have TEAMS meetings), I do buy the onesies that could pass as regular clothes - for work. I didn't get anything to pajama-oriented or wild and crazy -- my options were slight, but I found one. The boss will never know - I mean, sure, he knows, but he won't point it out - it won't be obvious. It's not like my Tigger one, or the shark one that someone else wore last year on our "Onesie Day" TEAMS meeting - that was a good day. One guy wore a Woody from Toy Story Onesie, and another had on an Eeyore, so we hung out!
Onesies just make the world a better place. No one can take you too seriously, and you can't take anyone else too seriously when you wear one. You're not upset about anything, and the air is cleaner while the colors are more vivid and clear. Onesies can change everything to a very good degree, and more people should find themselves collecting and wearing them when they can. I can't sleep in mine, I get too hot, but as soon as I wake up, I can put one on and keep it until I go to bed. (It could be the four dogs in my bed that keep the heat in...I may have to think about that.)
If I could change one thing about corporate America, it would be their attire. If the entire country could just relax, pull on a onesie, and get their job done, I think they'd be so much more productive. I think they'd be so much more apt to listen to one another and to help others who needed help. It's really next to impossible to be mean or nasty to someone while wearing a onesie and/or someone wearing one. I just realized I haven't used the word "an" in front of the word "onesie," and you'd think you should do that. Huh...see, even the English language takes a break now and again.
