"Before you even ask, I&amp;#39;ll just say that no, I&amp;#39;m thankfully not living out some nightmare where I sleepwalk into work without my pants. And I swear that I&amp;#39;m not trying to extend the whole Halloween costume thing with a Sleeping Beauty get-up or just committing a big, old fashion DON&amp;#39;T. And finally, the answer to the question that you&amp;#39;re probably all thinking is that no, I&amp;#39;m not totally bonkers. (At least not about this.) Here&amp;#39;s why:\nI usually tend to think that the lingerie-as-clothing look is best left to the paparazzi-infested red carpet, crowded dance floors and other places where maintaining eye contact is pretty much impossible. (Unless you&amp;#39;re a Victoria&amp;#39;s Secret model, walking around in broad daylight in a boudoir-worthy outfit brings on a major case of the blushes, at least for me.)\nBut on the risque scale of 1 to 10, this &amp;quot;nightie&amp;quot; look--which I wore to work on Friday--ranks up there at a .5, wouldn&amp;#39;t you say?\nPinterestFacebookThat crisp white top you see me wearing is a night shirt if you can believe it--which I didn&amp;#39;t at first. When I spied this tuxedo-inspired tunic at Aerie--which didn&amp;#39;t feel flimsy, was as tailored-looking as a Brooks Brother&amp;#39;s button-down but was longer (and therefore way more versatile) than a normal shirt--crawling into bed with it on was the last thing on my mind. Instead, dozens and dozens of potential outfits--for morning, noon and night--flashed before my eyes, including this one:\nPinterestFacebookA definite option for the Monday-Friday rotation, wouldn&amp;#39;t you say? I like that it&amp;#39;s a dressy buttoned blouse look, but not the normal tucked-into-black-pants kind of style. I put it together by pulling out a pleated skirt, black belt and lace-up booties, all items that I&amp;#39;ve had in my closet for oh, about a zillion and a half years--and that can be had for a song online.\nNext, I used a black blazer to bring out the shirt&amp;#39;s tuxedo vibe. Since the tunic is a leeetle bit too short to wear on it&amp;#39;s own, I tossed on short black mini underneath. Since the skirt has a stretchy band and the shirt looks better here belt-less, this super comfy look might just become my go-to outfit for fancy holiday feasting.\nPinterestFacebookAnd, did I mention that this Aerie shirt is just $35? If you&amp;#39;re still not convinced, I should add that when I told my boyfriend (and adorably patient outfit photographer) that I was technically wearing a night gown he said &amp;quot;Really? That&amp;#39;s so cool. You should wear that all the time,&amp;quot; proving that this incognito nightie look still has a teensy, tiny dose of sex appeal.\nWhat do you think lovely ladies? Like this 4-in-1 wardrobe item? Or would you rather just get a plain old button down and call it a day? (If you answered yes, I popped a few classic tuxedo shirts in the box above, just for you!)
