Pajama Party OOTD Bloopers

Hello hello and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Pajama Party OOTD! These pajamas were fresh from the Halloween collection drop at 5 Below and I have basically been living in them – they are the comfiest PJs in the world! And did I mention cute?! The costumed bears and little ghost patterns had me swooning from adorable. There is nothing better to me than when I can put my lounge clothes on after a work day or just stay in them all weekend long. My happy time has been made even better with these sweetly spooky PJs. These pics could use some improvement, though! Take a look:

Lol took a little stumble which Gengar seems to LOVE

My plus one and I are ready to partay!!!

Seriously, who doesn’t love squeezing a squishmallow?!

I am the strongest woman alive!!!!!!!!!

What do you like eating better – crayons or candy corn? They both taste the same!

When it comes to flavors, I am a savory girl and rarely eat sweets. I enjoy ice cream and chocolate from time to time but that’s about it. I hate the texture of cake and frosting, I only eat cookies if they’re fresh out of the oven, and most chewy candy has gelatin in it which I refuse to eat. A sweet tooth I have not but to the people that do – there are some candies that I have serious questions about lol. Let’s start with candy corn – is it tasty to eat candle wax? I think I only tried it once in my youth and am still scarred from eating the equivalent of a crayon. There is no denying that candy corn is uber cute but is it actually good? I need to know!!

Another few candies on my list include Necco Wafers and those weird wax things that look like a bottle of soda. I can remember getting them in the very early years of going trick or treating and they were always a hard pass! Necco Wafers taste like chalk and you already know my stance on wax from our discussion on candy corn lol. Although I am not a candy girl, I do marvel at how much candy has improved since then. Because I’ll tell you what, some of these classic old school candies are just not it and I genuinely want to know who is still eating them!

My candy corn plushie is all the candy corn I need and was a terrific Pajama Party guest!

Do you have a sweet tooth? What is your favorite and least favorite candy? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD

Hello! It has been SO much fun seeing Halloween goodies in store and I say the earlier the better. In fact, it should be all year round! Halloween is, indeed, my favorite time to shop for home decor and scary cute clothes and 5 Below is one of my go to spots. There is nothing better than scoring little treats on the cheap! I am an avid fan of 5 Below’s pajamas and I couldn’t say no to two adorable sets during my first spooky shopping spree. They are the comfiest, softest PJs to snuggle up in and I have a feeling I’ll be living in them this fall. Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Pajama Sets: 5 Below

Candy Corn Plushie: TJMaxx

The Gengar plushie was a surprise from Johnny! ❤

I never used to buy pajamas because I always prefer to spend my money on clothes and shoes lol. However, 5 Below offers sets for under fifteen dollars and that is a deal that I would be hard pressed to find even at TJMaxx. I have purchased several pairs of pajamas from 5 Below and have quite the collection now. But, in my defense, I had a lot of time to make up for because my pajamas used to just consist of a few sad pairs of sweatpants and random T-shirts! While all of the PJs at 5B are uber cute, I think these Halloween themed ones take the cake!

Seriously, how darling are those little costumed bears doing their spooky best? And those teeny tiny ghosts?! Forget about it! Both of these pairs were hanging up at the front of 5B and I clocked them as soon as I walked in. They immediately went into my cart because I just knew they were going to sell out quickly. I was so right! The following week after buying them I ended up back at 5 Below with a client and there were no more sets of these pajamas in sight. I got them at the perfect time and feel like such a lucky duck. I can’t wait to curl up and watch scary movies and Supernatural in them all October long. 🙂

My plushies were my plus one to my pajama party and made for excellent company. Stay tuned for the Blooper Reel and stay comfy cozy!

5 Below Clothing Haul

Hi!! October is my Halloween happy time but spooky season has come to stores early and it absolutely tickles me. It is so fun to see Halloween decor galore in store (I like to rhyme!) in August! While I love seeing what’s good at TJMaxx, I am always especially excited for the Halloween drop at 5 Below. Gasp! Don’t tell TJs lol but it is really nice to get spooky little somethings without feeling like I’m breaking the bank and 5 Below scratches that itch. I have had many a Halloween haul there and recently had a frighteningly good score with new PJs and a fabulous T shirt for Johnny! Check it out:

I am an avid fan of 5 Below pajamas and have an ever growing collection of their sweet and cheap lounge wear. Their PJs come in the most adorable patterns, are uber soft and comfortable, and buying a set is fourteen dollars in total. It’s such a steal! As soon as I saw their two newest Halloween PJ additions with the bears in costume and tiny ghosts, they were as good as mine and I was SO eager to bust them out. I donned my ghosts and pumpkins this weekend and they were perfect to spend some lazy days in post surgery. These PJs actually remind me a lot of the Aerie line from American Eagle as I used to covet their pricey comfortable apparel and the fourteen buck price sure beats fifty dollars for a pair of pajamas! I am in trouble if 5 Below drops more Halloween patterns in this set because I’m going to want them all!! 😀

And, of course, I couldn’t leave 5B without a little treat for Johnny too! Every spooky season 5 Below drops the most fabulous horror graphic Ts. They are seriously Hot Topic level in both style and quality and Johnny loves the Michael Myers one I got him last year. I legit gasped when I saw a Texas Chainsaw Massacre T last week because holy WOW is this shirt cool. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is my all time favorite horror movie and, although Halloween takes the cake for Johnny, it is high up on the list for him too. This movie poster print is everything and Johnny put it on as soon as I gave it to him. It made me so happy! There are a few more that I have my eye on for the next time I end up in 5 Below’s loving embrace because there is nothing better than getting a shirt that would have costed twenty-five smackers at the mall for five. Great success!

Ghosts, teddy bears, and Leatherface – Oh my! This 5 Below Clothing Haul gave sweet with a side of scary. Stay tuned for Pajama Party OOTDs coming soon!

What is your favorite classic horror movie? Do you have your Halloween costume planned already? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a Pajama Party OOTD! I was so excited to start a new job last month and couldn’t help but treat myself to some new duds from 5 Below – AKA the perfect spot for all of your little treat needs! I decided a year or so ago that I was desperately lacking in the pajama department and 5 Below offers the cutest and most comfy PJs for a song. In fact, I have yet to find cheaper at TJMaxx. During my past haul, I couldn’t say no to a pair of their fuzzy pajama shorts in an adorable Winnie the Pooh motif as well as a hoodie to match. The hoodie is way too sweet to just save for bed though and I am wearing it as I type this to go to work in! Take a look at this cozy little combo that was just twenty-two dollars in total:

Who? What? Wear?

Winnie the Pooh hoodie: 5 Below

Winnie the Pooh shorts: 5 Below

The Wicked slippers were a gift from Johnny’s aunt even though I have never seen the movies lol. Hey, they are comfy AF!

This past weekend was a practice in vegging out after a very long few weeks. All Johnny and I wanted to do was relax and play our new video game, Reanimal. (Spoiler alert: It’s freaking awesome!) As luck would have it, I had my brand new Winnie the Pooh gear to lounge in for the ultimate in sitting on the couch. I know I’ve said it before, but how absolutely adorable is the Winnie the Pooh line from 5 Below?! Not only does it have the “aw” factor but this hoodie and pajama bottom are so well made that it’s hard to believe it was barely over twenty bucks for the set. I could not imagine finding any Winnie the Pooh merch like this for a lower price! Could you imagine how pricey it would be at Hot Topic or Boxlunch?

I got hip to the fuzzy pajama bottoms from 5 Below during spooky season and my only regret is that it took me so long. They are soft as can be and fabulous for wearing all year round if your place is warm enough. I actually could have benefited from wearing them over leggings this weekend because Fake Spring ended and it starting snowing again. That’s nothing my Christmas gift heated blanket couldn’t solve, though! While my legs were nice and toasty with that extra warmth, my upper half was so not complaining in the fleece lined hoodie.

The Berry Sweet hoodie is literally out of Goldilocks – It’s not too hot, not too light, but just right! Sometimes a garment with fleece lining can be stifling and that is not the case at all with this hoodie. It’s thin enough without bringing on the sweats while still feeling like you can just wrap yourself up in it. Like I said earlier, I’m wearing it right now and am so comfy I could just go back to bed lol. That crystal blue color and Berry Sweet motif is enough of a sugar rush though that I swear I’m wide awake! *Fingers crossed* 😀

I may not be a Wicked fan like my slippers would make you think but I just love that honey obsessed Pooh Bear. Shout out to 5 Below for keeping me styling whether awake or asleep!

What was your favorite show growing up? Are you a 5 Below fan too? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Howdy! You all know I ball on a budget and absolutely live for 5 Below. As an avid fan of giving myself and gifting others little treats, it is a one stop shop to have some fun and find a perfect pick me up. I wanted to snag some V-Day gifts for my littlest valentines and decided that 5B was the move. Everything at the grocery store was SO expensive – a small box of chocolates and palm sized plush was over twelve dollars so I was delighted to find some small V-Day prezzies for a steal price at 5 Below. I also couldn’t resist a couple of purchases for myself as they just dropped some of the most adorable clothes ever. I considered it a “way to go, me” surprise for starting a new job! Take a look:

Serious question – who doesn’t love Winnie the Pooh?! I know I sure do! As soon as I walked in the store, I saw a spring display being created that was filled with Winnie the Pooh accessories, clothing, and collectables. The darling hoodie and pajama shorts were front and center and it went into my cart without a second thought. The Berry Sweet motif on the hoodie against that pale blue was too sweet to pass up. It was also only fifteen dollars and I don’t think I would find a better price for something like this at any other store. I’m unsure as to if it was meant to be worn with the pajama bottoms but it is way too cute to just wear to bed and I can’t wait to break it out in the spring. Speaking of the pajama bottoms, the uber soft fleece short shorts from 5B can’t be beat. I have a pair in a Halloween pattern and they are my freaking favorites. I always meant to buy another pair or two for bed and was so happy to add the Winnie the Pooh one to my lineup. Once again, the price was just right at seven dollars!

Last but certainly not least in my celebratory haul was a K-Pop Demon Hunters cropped tee. My lil nieces are Huntrix girls through and through and it was so special to watch the movie together. I loved every minute of it! The graphics, the story, and the amazing music all made for such an incredible experience. I live for our dance parties to the soundtrack and I may or may not cry every time I hear “Golden” on the radio. I seriously can’t help myself because I instantly get flooded with the happiest memories and it’s just a beautiful song. I knew my girl squad would get a kick out of seeing their TT in a shirt featuring their favorite gals and cannot wait to show them. Luckily, all three of them know that TT forever has dibs on being Mira. Classic Lil Red lolol. ❤

I got to spoil my nieces and myself during this shopping trip and it was a GREAT SUCCESS. I’ll be so eager to bust out my new hoodie and T as soon as spring hurries up and gets here!

What is your favorite song from K-Pop Demon Hunters? What is one of the best things you have found at 5 Below? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Pajama Party OOTD! I don’t know about all of you, but the best part of my day has to be when I get home from work. This is not to say that I don’t love my job but because I love the feeling of putting on pajamas as soon as I barrel through the doorway and set my purse down. There is just nothing better than slipping into something comfy, winding down, and binge watching whatever Johnny and I fancy. It’s heavenly! These pics? Not so much lol. Check it out:

I’m ready for my close up

ExSQUEEZE me?!

I like your personality – Thanks, it’s a disorder 😉

I call this pose “Sleeping Flamingo”

My very best beaver impression

I’m a star, baby

Sundays in my household are strictly Lazy Sundays. Johnny and I hang out downstairs with the bunnies, he’ll go upstairs to nap, I watch whatever I want on TV, then I’ll head up mid afternoon. This past Sunday, I was on a Sandra Bullock kick as I recently read Bird Box and watched the movie. Johnny was still asleep when I got upstairs so I decided to put on one of my favorite chick flicks – The Proposal. It is just SO funny and cute and I put it on whenever I need a laugh or background noise. Due to my laughter, Johnny woke up about ten minutes later and watched the rest of the movie with me. He LOVED it and we have been quoting it all week. 😀

After The Proposal, I couldn’t believe Johnny’s movie choice… One of my OTHER favorite chick flicks: 13 Going On Thirty!! This is a movie that I quote constantly and one that Johnny has declined watching with me until now. The joke is on him because he ended up LOVING it too! Curling up in these cozy pajamas and watching chick flicks together was honestly like having a midday slumber party. We were giggling like schoolgirls at every little thing and delighting in seeing all of my most quotable parts. Next on the agenda? I see The Devil Wears Prada and What A Girl Wants in our future! ❤

Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Garner in one afternoon? Be still my heart! It took over six years for Johnny to hop on the chick flick train and now that he’s onboard, I refuse to let him leave anytime soon! 😀

What is your favorite chick flick? Who is your favorite actor or actress? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Pajama Party OOTD

Hello! I am an avid fan of 5 Below and love stopping in for a cheap lil treat for myself. One of my favorite things to purchase from 5B has got to be pajamas. I have always loved the idea of cute and cozy PJs to cuddle up in but much prefer to spend my moolah on regular wear clothing instead. Oh and shoes… Lots of shoes! The spooky pajamas I bought during October from 5 Below costed less than fifteen dollars and ignited a PJ passion. So much so that I absolutely couldn’t resist this holiday pair a few weeks ago. Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Peppermint Stripe Pajamas: 5 Below

I fell in love with these peppermint stripe PJs as soon as I locked eyes on them and they just had to come home with me. An adorable set for just fifteen bucks? I can swing that! These pajamas are SO soft and snuggly and I genuinely don’t want to take them off when I wake up in the morning. They are nice and light which is a huge plus because I sleep with ALL of the blankets in our apartment as the weather cools down. My 5 Below set reminds me so much of Victoria’s Secret PJs and it’s oh so sweet to get them for a fraction of the cost. 😀

If you are on the hunt for some fun holiday PJs, RUN don’t walk to 5 Below… Because I just might buy them all lol. They have countless patterns available including Highland Cows, ornaments, woodland animals, Peanuts, Christmas trees, and classic plaids to name a few. These are the perfect jammie jams to gift to yourself or the people you need to shop for for the holidays. I am completely blown away by the quality of my pajamas despite their budget price and they are definitely something you can feel comfortable gifting with. Highly recommend!

If you, too, love the idea of pajamas more than actually buying them then 5 Below is the place to be. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be buying at least a few more pairs before the holiday season is out!

What do you like to wear to bed? What is your favorite thing to lounge in? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New 5 Below Pajamas

New 5 Below Pajamas

Hello! Several of my clients absolutely LOVE 5 Below and I am always happy when they request a shopping trip there because I love it too. You can’t beat the prices, they have so many fun things to pick from, and the quality of my purchases has always been excellent. One of my favorite buys from 5 Below has got to be my adorable Halloween pajamas and I wear them frequently. They are just too cute and comfy! 5 Below has recently put out a majority of their holiday collection and I couldn’t help treating myself to a new pair of jammies. They had countless darling matching sets but this peppermint stripe pattern spoke to me. Check it out:

Does anyone remember the pajama set from Victoria’s Secret that was pastel pink and was striped with a deeper pink hue? I had always lusted after that and it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this set from 5 Below. Rather than paying upwards of fifty bucks, however, I paid fifteen and couldn’t be happier! The material is so soft and I like that it’s on the thinner side as I love to snuggle up in a million blankets as soon as the temperature drops. This set invokes sipping hot chocolate by the fire and unwrapping presents on Christmas day and I can see myself living in them all holiday season long.

As you might have noticed, I am a Halloween kind of gal through and through. My best friend, Kate, is the Christmas Queen and she wears the crown oh so well. This is the first actual Christmas inspired clothing that I own and I couldn’t wait to tell her about it. I knew she would be so proud! I imagine she felt like I did when she told me about the handful of spooky movies and shows she watched during Halloween. It literally made my heart swell. Kate’s love of Christmas is absolutely joyous to see and I think it has been rubbing off on me. I found some SUPER cute Santa dresses for holiday celebrations and they have really been tempting me. The problem is that I can’t pick which one so stay tuned because I will need all of your help!

A Pajama Party OOTD in these sweet jammies is on the horizon so keep it posted here on lifewithlilred!

Pajama Party OOTD

Hello! While I love clothes of all kinds, there is one aspect of dressing that I’m pretty negligent to and that would have to be pajamas. Don’t get me wrong, I adore the idea of cute pajama sets and have seen countless ones at TJMaxx that I would buy happily. I actually bought one cute shorts and cami PJ set that I got for our sweltering summer and that was even a stretch. Regardless of that one time purchase, I would rather spend my money on pretty pieces that everyone can see me in which is why I resort to old sweatpants to sleep in lol. I am pleased to report that my pajama collection has grown to TWO cute pajama sets because I simply couldn’t resist this darling pair that I got at 5 Below for a whole twelve bucks! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Bite Me Pajama Set: 5 Below

Halloween was in full swing at 5 Below and it’s safe to say I went a little bit crazy lol. But, hey, Halloween is my time to shine AND shop and it has turned into a yearly tradition. At a store like 5 Below, it’s so easy to just grab whatever and add it to your cart because you are getting it on the cheap. This was how I felt when I snagged my new PJ set. They are perfectly spooky, totes adorbs, and I knew damn well I was not going to find a set like it at a lower price. I couldn’t wait to wear it over the long Labor Day weekend to curl up, watch scary movies, and veg out!

I proudly donned my pajamas on Saturday and felt like a little Halloween star. The fleece shorts and oversized tee were the epitome of comfort and felt so good to snuggle up in. In fact, I was wishing I had bought a few more of the sets at 5 Below for myself! Sadly, I made a major uh-oh when I had my new set on and I suppose I will chalk it up to being too comfortable. Johnny and I ordered Papa John’s and it couldn’t have come a moment too soon because I was verging on hanger.

With a loaded plate of pizza and garlic dipping sauce, I made my way back to my recliner, got myself cuddled up, and dug in. In my awkward sitting state that is great for lounging and not eating, my leg knocked my plate and the garlic sauce got ALL over my PJs that I was so proud of. Blessedly, it came out in the wash but it took a while to get the scent of garlic off of my legs or lingering in my nose. SMH!!!!

Like the true vampire I am, this garlic spill REALLY stung. I’m so glad these pajamas were good as new after a wash!!

What is a type of clothing that you rarely buy? Have you wrecked any of your clothing before? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

TJMaxx Haul: Scotch & Soda Pajama Style Blazer Edition

TJMaxx Haul: Scotch & Soda Pajama Style Blazer Edition

Hello! It has been a while since I had a big TJMaxx haul so I decided that it was definitely time to change that. 😀 This past week, my online order finally arrived in the mail and I am obsessed with all of the goodies that I picked out for myself. After So. Much. Holiday. Shopping. I thought that I deserved a treat too!

Today, we will be discussing an amazing pajama style blazer by Scotch & Soda. My only regret? That I didn’t buy the matching pants! Let’s get to it:

image_67234561image_67506945image_67534593image_67536129

I must admit that when I originally ordered this blazer, I didn’t have high hopes for it and had plans of it being one of the pieces that I returned. But, man, was I wrong because this is one of my favorite purchases from my shopping. What I thought might look like I forgot to get dressed in the morning turned out to be oh so fabulous and I can’t wait to wear it to work/out and about.

This Scotch & Soda blazer was part of a matching set and as soon as I tried it on, I instantly was kicking myself for not ordering the pants too. After my fashion show, I raced to the computer to see if they were still available and, sadly, my size was sold out. I thought that the full set would be a bit much and I genuinely don’t know what I was thinking because “a bit much” isn’t part of Lil Red’s vocabulary.

While I would have liked to see this set in its completion, I still love the blazer as an individual piece just the same. The colors are muted but so rich and they really pop against its black background. I also can’t get enough of the piping throughout the blazer for a touch of pajama party chic!

During my online shopping, I was looking for pieces that could double for work and play and I think that this blazer hit the nail on the head. This is something that I could easily wear to my office or for a date day with Johnny. It’s also light enough that I could sport it during multiple seasons for ultimate versatility.

Whether paired with skinny jeans or a little black skirt, I am dying to style my new blazer so be on the lookout for OOTD pics soon. And, keep it posted for more from my TJMaxx Haul! ❤

How do you feel about clothing sets? How would you style this blazer? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
