A Pajama and Loungewear Obsession: Part Three

Here's part three (one and two) of the pajama and loungewear series, a good four months after it began! This time, with a bit of trepidation, I'm sharing some of my favorite personal loungewear and boudoir finds.

Probably my favorite part of reading other blogs is the outfits posts and/or vintage finds posts other vintage-inclined ladies around the world share. I'm pretty terrible about doing them myself (I think I've done a grand total of one so far), mostly because I really am pretty awkward in front of the camera and am really not photogenic (it's okay, I'm fine with my real-life self. But the camera doesn't like my face), but I also have little patience for fiddling with the self-timer. 
Anyway, I finally did some today, because I recently added a 40's robe to my collection, and figured I may as well share that and my others as part of the series! I apologize for the rather unimaginative posing, this would be my camera awkwardness at work.

I'm also wearing Daniel Greens in all of these - I've got three pairs! They really are so comfy, I wish Daniel Green would re-issue their designs from the 20s-40s because they perfectly wed prettiness with comfort. The heels aren't bad at all - on the two dark blue pairs they're only 1.5 inches, and the light blue ones, which I think are late 40s or early 50s, are pretty tall, but are still fine!

My newest addition - a 40s swishy rayon robe scored on eBay for 30 bucks! I love the side tie and the aforementioned swooshiness of this, I feel like I'm wearing a (rather floral) Hogwarts gown when I walk around the house in it - I realize this is an odd association but ah well!

Recently Acquired

Okay, I have a problem.
And it's Daniel Green.
I am obsessed.
Who is this fella, you may ask? Well, it's not really a him that I'm obsessed with - it's Daniel Green's slippers/boudoir shoes that I so adore. I recently acquired my third pair of Daniel Greens, and the place where I got them had more styles in a variety of colors, so I had to hold back from making it two new pairs! This is really getting ridikulous (as Gee and I like to put it, like the Harry Potter spell), considering I now own more vintage slippers than vintage shoes/heels, which I get more everyday use out of. But, they're so lovely, I really can't refuse! Plus, it's not like they make pretty and comfortable house/bedroom slippers anymore, the modern Daniel Green itself now makes rather ugly slippers, to put it bluntly. So I feel I've got to snatch them up every chance I've got!

Sorry for the poor photo quality... I really don't know what's up with my D90!
