One of my earliest memories is being about ten years old and seeing an advert of a beautiful lady wearing a slinky, silk nightie in a magazine. From that day on, I decided that when I was a grown up, that is what I would wear. Slinky nighties became my marker for adulthood and chicness.
I think now I'm 30 I qualify as a grown up. I did try the whole slinky thing. And liked it for a while but then just felt like I was playing dress up. As much as I don't want to let my younger self down, I've come full circle and realised my ideal form of sleepwear is a pair of crisp, matching pyjamas. In reality it's a pair of bottoms worn with the first t.shirt that falls into my hands. I want to make more of an effort though. I want to look a little less teenage. The most beautiful, elegant pairs keep pinging into my inbox and I think the time is now.

Vintage slinky slips and nighties look great worn with skinny jeans and a little cashmere cardi though !! x
