To splash out on pyjamas so expensive and louche they would make Bertie Worcester wince?

My historic pyjama choices have very much erred on the sensible side. Think and M and S two pack, polkadot and tartan (I draw the line at Disney characters, but only just).

Anyway, my business has had a hard but miraculously good year, considering. And I'm 43, so my mum can't tell me what to do anymore (well, she can and she does, but I'll not seek her frugal advice). And we finally have a grown up house, with older children, so no more sofas to buy or boobs to leek.

Surely in these circumstances, I can justify spending £125 on a pair of Toast pyjamas? Beautiful floral Indian cotton. Loose, light, probably smell of myrrh. I am reasonably confident they will make me feel like, at least, a dowager Duchess, and at best The Pursuit of Love's Linda in her very prime. I'm a hardworking woman with almost no other vices (almost...)

I spend a good deal of my life pyjama'd up. Surely this is a better use of the cash than a million other things I could use it for?

My finger has been hovering over the 'order' button all afternoon. Please someone, tell me I can.

You must do it.

ThursdayWeld · 06/07/2021 13:41

I don't think you should. Pop the money in a nice sensible ISA instead.

SailingBuddy · 06/07/2021 13:41

order them!

AllTheCakes · 06/07/2021 13:41

Do it! And share a link so we can all have a nosey at the wonderful pyjamas.

Tlollj · 06/07/2021 13:42

Go for it. Show us the photo.

Thewindsofchange · 06/07/2021 13:43

What will you do when they're in the wash? Your other ones will feel so drab in comparison.

You'll need two pairs Grin

lettie9 · 06/07/2021 13:44

Of course you must. Show us a pic?

DistrictCommissioner · 06/07/2021 13:44

Yes! they sound lovely.

Although I will be the annoying person who points out it is Bertie Wooster who would wince.

beela · 06/07/2021 13:45

Ooooh. Do it!!

Hoppinggreen · 06/07/2021 13:45

Do it

Falifornia · 06/07/2021 13:46

OP I have had a shit morning at work and your post has royally tickled me.

I even went ahead and googled the PJs. They are truly spiffing and I say Yay, hit that order button. Pour yourself a brandy and soda at the Cocktail Hour and recline on your Art Deco couch.

We are all worth whatever we can afford to treat ourselves to!

Labradabradorable · 06/07/2021 13:46

Yessss! Two pairs. I need two pairs. At least. Maybe a velvet robe for the cooler months?

These be them...

Nanasueathome · 06/07/2021 13:47

Oooohhhhhh, they are lovely
My entire wardrobe is almost exclusively Toast but I only ever buy in the sale

AlfonsoTheMango · 06/07/2021 13:47

Yes! And a velvet robe - you don't want your pyjamas slumming it with a sub-standard robe, do you?

AlfonsoTheMango · 06/07/2021 13:49

@DistrictCommissioner

Bertie Worcester is Bertie Wooster's lesser-known cousin.

Bertie Worcester made his fortune in boilers. He's a bit bas-peuple, but always pays his Savoy bills on time and tips generously at the Club ;)

Go for it 😀👍

DoylyCarte · 06/07/2021 13:53

Do it! Agree re the needing a second pair though Smile

I had a similar process myself and ultimately bought 2 pairs of very expensive silk pj’s during lockdown - one black, one white so can mix and match or always have a set when one is in the wash - no regrets!

Do it! Do it! Do it!! Grin

Ohhhhh, the Norfolk Worcesters. Of course.
Wambamincorrectlyinstalledfan · 06/07/2021 13:55

Order two pairs Grin

DoylyCarte · 06/07/2021 13:55

You might need a robe as well tho… Wink

In fact there was a thread on here a few months ago with a website full of the most stunning and fabulous cashmere gowns; I could do do with re-finding that website as getting one of those is now also a planned purchase!

I think this was the robe site, just to add in extra temptation 😃🦩

Gladiolys · 06/07/2021 14:17

You deserve them simply as a reward for this beautiful eulogy to pyjamas Grin
